      @MoneIntuitive Thanks for sharing!
      I think in the Linefilter2 the options “Keep lines with selection” and “Remove lines with selection” are equivalent to the option “Find lines that dont match” (in ‘Filter Settings’ dialog) with the checkbox respectively unticked and ticked.

      @guy038

      The name of the function is complicated, so functionList should return complicated as the name.

      You can see it in action here:https://ideone.com/SmDmCF

      It doesn’t do anything useful since it is an example.

      Here is another example:

      float ( *GetPointer( int a ) )[10]
      {
      ( void )a ;
      return NULL ;
      }

      This is a function named GetPointer, taking an int and returning a pointer to an array of 10 float.
      You can see it working here: https://ideone.com/Sxn8WQ

      Yes, it would be hard to create a new User Defined Language…
      For using existing HTML highlight, you can add the liquid extension to langs.xml file in the Language name="html" part and you can add some more keywords inside <Keywords name="instre1"> so these are highlighted.

      Some reading for creating a new User Defined Language:

      Many thanks. Nice to know I won’t have to use things like Word again just to view files side-by-side.

      Hello Richard,

      That quite weird ! Usually, the SciLexer.dll file should have been installed, with some others, in the same folder than the Notepad++.exe file

      With that last 6.7.9.2 version of N++, the length of the SciLexer.dll file v3.5.6.0 is 1 045 504 bytes

      However, I can’t give you a definitive answer, as I always do a portable installation, from the N++ 7z archive

      Good luck, testing your configuration !

      Best regards,

      guy038

      Hello Mike and Scott,

      To be exact, I would add :

      Choose the menu option Settings - Style Configurator…

      In the Style configurator dialog, choose the Global Styles language

      Then , select the Default Style style

      Finally, in the Font Style area, you can select your favourite font and/or its size, too

      Best Regards,

      guy38

      P.S. :

      Mike, prefer monospaced fonts to others => Each character will use the same physical place, on your screen :-)

      I just confirmed that manually moving the contents of the plugins directory to a new directory and renaming it to plugins when done has no effect on the sort order of the plugins menu. Drats.

      Might be a little late (9 days ago), but take a look at the file in a hex editor. It’s possible that the UTF (Unicode) is out of sync and you are only seeing the null characters. Assuming you are using Latin based language where 1 byte per character is used, in Unicode every other character is a NULL.

      Assume that “.” is null. If you open a Unicode file in an editor that doesn’t recognize Unicode, so you can see the actual contents, you will see something like:

      H.e.l.l.o...W.o.r.l.d.!

      I haven’t seen what you are talking about happen, and you would have to be saving the file in a Unicode type format for this to happen, but if something was corrupted it could in theory do what you describe.

      Or, the file might just be lost.

      I would think “hot pink” also known as fuchsia. Old people like me need more drastic contrast :)

      Should just be an option.

      I am new to Notepad++ but I know the answer to your question. Yes, it can be done, but there appears to be a bug with it loading correctly on startup. Here is my comment about it: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/44/bug-normal-text-always-highlighted

      It seems that your problem is that Compare splits the screen into two ‘views’ and does not remove them after ‘Compare’ is done. Select the unwanted tab on the right or just click in the editable area. Then go to View->Move/Clone current document->Move to other view. It should restore your original environment.

      Alternately close all tabs in the unwanted ‘view’.

      The dual ‘view’ mode is actually a Notepad++ feature and can be used for many general editing tasks.
