With the XML Tools plugin.

FYI your XML contains two <?xml ...?> headers.

Because it is very very difficult.

You can use Notepad++ for Linux by:

Thanks. It’s recommended to use a resource editors there, but it’s a crunch. It’s strange to use it after any new installation and create a version of my own “new Notepad++ killar”. I don’t understand why author delete something which might be useful for users? I’m not afraid of changes, I update all my programs with pleasure and all of them are up to date, but if you know it’s so sad not to find in new versions an options, which I’m using for years and which is so useful for me, like it makes Google in their Chrome, etc.

Yes, author can return it back, okay, but now it seems, that something might move away in new versions, code highlight will be, because author concider that it’s not so cool. Why not? But where’s a defence against it?

You probably ran into this bug.

yes, I forgot to delete EOL character. Thanks ;)

I had similar issue. I fixed it by replacing all C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ references by C:\Program Files\Notepad++ in registry. After reboot, files where associated with x64 version.

In the lower right corner does it say “INS” or “OVR”? I suspect it says “OVR” which means “OVERWRITE” which means your typing will overwrite existing text. Point your mouse to the OVR text and click it and it will change to “INS” which means “INSERT” and your problem should be solved. Post again if that does not solve it.

Nevermind. Had someone do it in UltraEdit for me.

Hello, Scott

I haven’t noticed the relation between the Begin/End select feature and the column mode selection, yet ! Many thanks for these very nice tricks, indeed !

Hello, Chris Mckevitt,

Very easily, indeed ! Instead of pressing the Tab key, Chris, just hold down the Alt key and hit, successively, on the Numeric keyboard, the two 0 and 9 keys => The auto-complete box is, then, closed and a single tabulation character ( \x09 ) is inserted, at the caret’s position :-)) Et voilà !

I verified that it’s OK, for, both ,completion of functions AND completion of words

Of course, it’s not as straight as hitting an unique key, but just consider it as a work-around !

Best Regards,

Its not possible currently. Internally Notepad++ uses Scintilla v3.5.6. However in Scintilla v3.6.0 it added this type of functionality. Quote from Scintilla v3.6.0 release notes:

Multiple selection now works over more key commands. The new multiple-selection handling commands include horizontal movement and selection commands, line up and down movement and selection commands, word and line deletion commands, and line end insertion.

So whenever Scintilla is upgraded internally this will be possible.
