@Calimero said in Regex to replace a specific word:

Using this one and some others I was able to do what I wanted … almost
I wasn’t good enough to deal with all the cases only with regex and I had to modify some cases manually

Hopefully it wasn’t a defect/limitation of the technique in the link I provided.

@Grzegorz-Śliwka said in autoCompletion Issue:

Your example doesn’t work for me.

Whereas it did work for me. Without giving us more to go on, I cannot even begin to guess what you’ve actually done, and whether you’ve really set things up right according the instructions above. Sorry.

@PeterJones Thank you! 👍

Right click on text -> “Select all” -> Hit “Del” on keyboard -> voilá.

Well, I think this is not quite what you want to achieve, so please elaborate a little more detailed what your goal is.

Please also have a look at this FAQ

@Michael-Vincent It is so shocking I lost my words. Thanks a lot for your help it’s all I needed.

@PeterJones ,

Again, thanks a lot for your help. Now everything runs as it should.

@kracovwolf said in NPP settings:

I am trying real hard to remember what plugin i used that ran multiple macros at once. i really need it. it was a toolbar button

Unfortunately unless someone knows from that brief description what plugin it is, you might have to do the hard yards and manually check for differences between the 2 installations.

Firstly you will need to have the same type of installation 32bit or 64bit. That’s because some plugins are ONLY made in the 1 version.

Then by using the “Debug Info” you can see quickly which plugins the old installation has. From your post I suspect that may not be possible, otherwise you would likely have already figured it out. Have you by chance ever had to provide “debug info” on this forum, that may be some help to you.

To complicate matters, if you happen to have an old Notepad++ version in the original, and are downloading a much later version for the new installation, you will come across the “incompatible” issue. The most recent versions of Notepad++ had a major change made in coding (API calls I think), and this caused a lot of the plugins to be incompatible.

Then there is the issue that some plugins were never listed in the “Plugin list” as viewed from the link in Notepad++ PlugIns Admin window (bottom right for the repository). Some of those developers never got them added so to download you will need to find the alternate site for that.

I myself have no need to install plugins, so I don’t know which one your description points to.

Good luck
Terry

The marker ID used for bookmarks changed in Notepad++ 8.4.6 (and later). It is now 20, instead of 24. So, all references to 24 in this thread and/or its script(s), should be changed to 20.

@xmatic SOLVED: it turned out to be an issue with the “default browser”. I have Google Chrome Portable (from portableapps.com ). Everything used to work fine, and then I think I updated this portable version of Google Chrome in a wrong way*, and after that things stopped working (and I wrongly assumed that it was something to do with “group policy” etc.). The solution was to make Microsoft Edge the default browser. The links NPP immediately started working (and opening to Microsoft Edge). And after a restart I opened Google Chrome Portable, received a prompt to set it as the default browser, and followed the steps to set it like so. And after this the links inside NPP started opening (in Google Chrome Portable) without a problem.

*the correct way to update Google Chrome Portable is to download the current zip from portableapps.com and then extract the contents to the current GoogleChromePortable folder. What I did instead was to extract it to its own folder (let’s call it “x”). Then delete the contents of the GoogleChromePortable folder, and then cut the contents of “x” and pasted them into the GoogleChromePortable folder.

Thanks a lot, Alan. No, it did not (look exactly…). I did not realize that I have to check the language at the right side also (Tabulators-python), so I always had a look only on “default”. Maybe one day I had changed this accidetally.
Everything fine now!
Once again, error 50 (50 cm in front of the screen).

@Alan-Kilborn Awesome, thanks!
