@Afik-Gilboa said: both of them have the “run as administrator” unchecked. so any ideas why it keeps opening in admin mode? apparently everything running as administrator here, not sure why but it’s everything… I recognize the symptoms - you probably have turned off the Windows UAC completely somehow and at the same time the account, you are logged in, has the administrator rights (then everything launched will have the admin rights as default). Check your Registry for EnableLUA REG_DWORD 0x00000000 in: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] (click on Windows Start, start typing “Reg” there, click on the Registry Editor (System) app offered and navigate there to the hive path above) If there is that 0x00000000 (OFF), change it do 0x00000001 (ON) and restart your PC.

@PeterJones, many thanks to Your reply. This workaround works perfectly. I searched for this workaround (because I expected that anyone wouls have the same needs) but wasn’t successful - searching for a solution to a problem can be a frustrating experience if you don’t use the right search term(s) — which, of course, you don’t know yet at that stage…

@saintleningrad-prog said: Select text, or place the cursor inside a ^^…^^ tag, press Ctrl+Shift+E Just a head’s up: that’s the same default key combination that decodes HTML entities when HTML Tag is installed. Since plugin commands are mapped in alphabetical order, and the most recent mapping prevails, having both installed will silently block the EncTag’s plugin shortcut from functioning: [image: 1787355567929-enctags-v020-shortcut-conflict.png] One more thing: the text you are passing to the About message box (here) contains the literal Unicode character U+2013: EN DASH. Since the Unicode literal is inside a character string, the compiler interprets everything between "..." as if it were encoded in the operating system’s default, single-byte code page (usually Windows-1252 on English- or European-language PCs). When shown, the emdash becomes the string of nonsensical bytes \xe2\x80\x94: [image: 1787355726977-enctags-v020-mojibake.png] You just need to escape the Unicode literal, i.e., "Ctrl+Shift+E \u2013 ..."

@dcog989 Thanks for this - if you have any tweaks or updates you’ve made since this comment, let me know!

@Coises said: I expect that Version 0.6.5 will fix this. Noted, thanks again, and I’ll let him know — although he actually doesn’t typically use regex for his own purposes.

Since it’s essentially working at this point, I’ve renamed the Topic to “BETA” @mpheath , I have updated the README at https://github.com/pryrt/NppPlugin-HiddenLexers to enumerate available options I think I’ll be patient, and give the beta test a while longer, so won’t try to rush to release it before N++ v8.9.8’s PluginsAdmin list is finalized.

1.2.2 Syntax highlighting PowerShell Improved absolute, relative, quoted and unquoted paths colors [image: 1785402977913-paths.png] Improved variables interpolation colors [image: 1785402952228-interpolation.png] [image: 1785402954396-interpolation4.png] Added colors for expressions $(..), ${..} Added registry hives colors (HKLM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, …) Fixed syntax highlighting Fixed variables colors inside paths and quotes Fixed excessive colors of variables, keywords, and functions enclosed in quotes Fixed unexpected sc.. and vk.. colors in AutoHotkey code Disabled colors for variables inside single quotes ' ' (because single quotes prevents var. interpolation)

@Coises You’re welcome, and thank YOU for promptly creating the new version, and for your plugins in general to begin with! The new one lets me exit without incurring any dialog.

@arnaud-derette said: I does not work in the operator 2 list either (or may be i need to do something more than just put § there ?) Like I said, because you want the § to not have spaces, like in parent§.D, it won’t work for you. § in operators 2 will only work if you can have spaces around the §

Thank you again for your help.

@chtaylo3 , You only need to post in the “Support for Plugins Admin & NppPluginList” topic if there’s a feature or bug with the Plugins Admin and the list DLL itself. If there are issues with your PR to add it to NppPluginList, those will be discussed in the PR itself – and it looks like yours has been accepted already. If you want to just announce your new plugin, you can just create a new Topic in the Plugin Category to tell us about it. Hence, I am moving your post to its own Topic. And congrats on creating a lexer plugin!

NppExec v0.8.12.1 has been released! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! improved: now WarningAnalyzer automatically removes “” around a file path/name fixed: the Console Output Filters dialog did not clear WarningAnalyzer’s cache improved: now Highlight’s [I], [B], [U] have Italic, Bold and Underline style Get it here: https://github.com/d0vgan/nppexec/releases/tag/NppExec_v08121

@Michael-Vincent Thanks for the feedback ;) fixed with : https://github.com/gcyrillus/nppGitClone/releases/tag/V1.0.1

@Michael-Vincent and anyone reading :) Besides the jokes, i’d like some real feedback about the plugin, the code and mainly about the fact that gemini assisted me … Be critical without trolling, do not be afraid to point out all of the funny code, nonsense and incoherence that a light IA can bring within your code unless there is some goods in it . Good jokes are also welcome ;)

v0.012 released to CPAN Update for Notpead++ v8.5.4 - v8.9.6.4 Update Editor messages and enumerations (hashes) Update Notepad++ menu commands and messages Remove notepad->prompt() and the Win32::GUI dependency [#91] Please comment on Issue #92 if this call is important to you <https://github.com/pryrt/Win32-Mechanize-NotepadPlusPlus/issues/92> Improve test suite Get it working through Perl v5.42 Don’t test as many old versions (too much compute overhead) See CHANGES file for full history, including interveninng v0.009, v0.010, and v0.011 I don’t always post about new versions here (mostly because I get distracted and forget to). But I thought it was important on this one, because notepad->prompt() has been disabled in this version: if notepad->prompt() is important to you, please comment on https://github.com/pryrt/Win32-Mechanize-NotepadPlusPlus/issues/92 and stick with v0.011, which (until further notice) is the most recent version to include the notepad->prompt()

@medvidec It’s impossible to know for sure without seeing your code, but I doubt the issue has anything to do with Notepad++. If this “global variable” is supposed to be shared between multiple C++ source files, you have to do the following: declare the variable in a header file as extern, e.g.: // your_header.h #include <string> extern const std::string configFile; include “your_header.h” in every source file that uses configFile . provide a definition (at global scope) of configFile in one (and only one) of the source files that includes “your_header.h”: // source_file.cpp #include "your_header.h" // ... const std::string configFile = "/plugins/config/verilogConfig.txt"; // ... You can read about storage class specifiers to learn more.
