All of the above solutions are good, but they are not necessarily very robust to reformatting of the document, which appears to be YAML.

Normally this is where I’d recommend a plugin or a PythonScript solution for working with YAML, but I don’t know of any plugins, and Python’s YAML package is not in the Python standard library, so using PythonScript for YAML isn’t a great option.

Having said that, my general suggestion for performing these kinds of manipulations on YAML documents is to learn a scripting language (I recommend Python) and using that to write normal Python scripts. If you end up going that route, this forum will cease to be a useful resource and StackOverflow becomes one of your best friends.

Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA are both fine ways to inspect the contents of a .jar file. I don’t know of any others though, and in any case such discussion is outside the scope of this forum.

@PeterJones That worked! Thank you very much.

@PeterJones
Thank you for your answer.
There’s enough text to be scrolled and the View > Word Wrap is off (automatic line feedback is not activated).
However, I don’t have the horizontal scrollbar available at the bottom of the window like on your screenshot. Perhaps there’s another parameter to consider.

@guy038
Thank you for your answer.
Your solution works correctly.

My mouse supports horizontal scrolling. It is another solution but less natural for me.
The horizontal scrolling is a usual way on many Windows software.

Solved the problem by returning Windows to its original state with the removal of programs

Probably you need to play a bit with
Menu Settings > Preferences > Multi-Instance & Date > Multi-instance settings
and see the option that best fits your needs.

Tiny improvement (IMO) for bullet list: now it only copies spaces, no punctuation:

from Npp import editor, SCINTILLANOTIFICATION import re class NA(object): def __init__(self): self.eol = ['\r\n', '\r', '\n'][editor.getEOLMode()] editor.callback(self.callback_sci_CHARADDED, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED]) def callback_sci_CHARADDED(self, args): if chr(args['ch']) == self.eol[-1]: caret_pos = editor.getCurrentPos() curr_line_num = editor.lineFromPosition(caret_pos) if curr_line_num > 0: prev_line = editor.getLine(curr_line_num - 1) m = re.match(r'\s*(\d+)([^\w\r\n]+)', prev_line) if m: full = str(m.group(1)) + str(m.group(2)) full_prev = prev_line.rstrip('\r\n') if (len(full_prev) > len(full)): # if m: prev_number = int(m.group(1)) symbols_after = m.group(2) new_number = prev_number + 1 text_to_insert = str(new_number) + symbols_after editor.insertText(caret_pos, text_to_insert) new_caret_pos = caret_pos + len(text_to_insert) editor.setEmptySelection(new_caret_pos) return m = re.match(r'\s*(\+)([\s*]+)', prev_line) if m: full = str(m.group(1)) + str(m.group(2)) full_prev = prev_line.rstrip('\r\n') if (len(full_prev) > len(full)): # if m: bullet = m.group(1) symbols_after = m.group(2) text_to_insert = bullet + symbols_after editor.insertText(caret_pos, text_to_insert) new_caret_pos = caret_pos + len(text_to_insert) editor.setEmptySelection(new_caret_pos) return if __name__ == '__main__': try: na except NameError: na = NA()

Hi, @mpheath and All,

I confirm that the command npp.AddShortcut(... works ONLY when appended to startup.lua and do not work in a separate Lua file !

And, this time, after restarting N++, the new options Copy this link Ctrl+Alt+2 and Copy this link Ctrl+Alt+3 were present in the Lua sub-menu and did the job, correctly

Finally, as this command is already included in the contextMenu.xml, I suppose that any script, whatever it is, that mimics the Copy link function, seems useless !

Again, thank you very much, @mpheath, for your support !

Best Regards,

guy038

Edit: I fixed this, in case anyone has any issues with it later. I just had to uncheck global font size.

@Ekopalypse working great now. thank you!

@Michael-Lander said in Line select problem:

@guy038 this is great! I cannot, however, find any shortcuts.xml to drop them into.

%AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml

See FAQ

@ThosRTanner
Should be the contents of the %Program Files%\Notepad++\plugins folder.

Note that most plugins have a bunch of app data in %Appdata% as well, which will be copied along with everything else if you do as PeterJones directed.

yes, i know ffmpeg but already tried for strange site and does not work
because from m3u8 to this site only segments are present but missing the full link (first) and token at the end (see my first post above), so ffmpeg don’t have link for its download

@PeterJones Alright, thank you for the reply; and the FYI, that’s good to know.

@Jeffrey-Cobb

Try this, its better and fast:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <NotepadPlus> <functionList> <parser id="css_comment" displayName="CSS Comment" commentExpr="(?s:/\*.*?\*/)|(?m-s://.*?$)"> <function mainExpr="^([:#\.\w][^\{]+\{[^\}]+\})" displayMode="$functionName"> <functionName> <nameExpr expr="^([:#\.\w][^\{]+)"/> </functionName> </function> </parser> </functionList> </NotepadPlus>

I put it in appdata and the one from the main D:\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml I removed.

A big thank you to @guy038. It works flawlessly.

You might be able to use my plugin Columns++ to help with this. See the help sections on Elastic tabstops and the Convert separated values to tabs… command.

Elastic tabstops is a conceptually simple algorithm defined by Nick Gravgaard for aligning tab-separated text. It works by treating each tab as a column separator and then making each column just large enough to hold its contents, much like the way a simple HTML table works.

In most cases, Convert separated values to tabs should be able to transform a csv file into tab-separated values without confusion.

There are some other handy functions in the plugin for working with data arranged in columns as well.

I currently consider the plugin to be in an “alpha” state. I use it, and I haven’t been seeing many problems reported, but it could be that hardly anyone is using it. If you use it, please let me know if you encounter any problems.
