I managed to solve the issue this morning after reviewing the source to the mime tools plugin.

The following lines of code resulted in the data being displayed correctly.
SendMessageW(nppData._scintillaMainHandle, SCI_TARGETFROMSELECTION, 0, 0);
SendMessageW(nppData._scintillaMainHandle, SCI_REPLACETARGET, len, (LPARAM)text);

Thank you for the assistance.

I can imagine a Python script, must have PythonScript plugin installed, of course, if the UI can be replaced by Npp editor itself. Basically a script that monitors what you type and if the conditions are met, change the colour.

@ArkadiuszMichalski Thank you for your reply. I use the function list and find it quite useful… for functions. And the bookmark panel is also useful, but only if you know what book mark you need to jump to. What I’m looking for is something that can be used for things other than functions as well, and also not required to remember what the book marks name might be. More of a “click here to jump to line _____” button. I supposed I could make a book mark and name it, then make a comment on the line that says, "<!-- jump to line _______–> I just figure a button would be so much easier.

Issue 9516 opened

Who wants to try NppExec that saves its configuration to the cloud location path?
Those who are interested can download the latest dev version of NppExec here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/NppExec/NppExec Plugin (dev)/
NppExec20210210_dll_PA.zip and NppExec20210210_dll_x64_PA.zip are the ones you are looking for.

Some technical details:

With cloud location path specified in Notepad++'s settings, NppExec does the following:

On start, NppExec tries to read its configuration files from the cloud location path. If these files do not exist or are filled with NULs, NppExec reads its configuration from $(PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR). When NppExec saves its configuration, first it is saved to $(PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR) and then copied to the cloud location path. Thus, NppExec always has a copy of its current configuration within the $(PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR) folder. NppExec’s saved scripts - the “npes_saved.txt” file - are monitored in the cloud location path. So, if you manually edit the “npes_saved.txt” within the cloud location, NppExec detects it. If, however, you manually edit the “npes_saved.txt” within the $(PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR) folder, it is ignored.

When the cloud location path is not specified in Notepad++'s settings, NppExec stores its configuration within the $(PLUGINS_CONFIG_DIR) folder.

:-D Google definitely knows more than me/us, even about us :-D

@Anthony-Peiris ,

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a plugin for Notepad++.

What benefit do you think it would provide to hook that feature into Notepad++ compared with the simple matter of clicking on the bluetooth icon on your existing taskbar and selecting Send File or Receive File?

@Vivek-Ghule ,

My apologies for getting back to this thread so late! I have recently addressed some issues with the RestApiToText plugin and you can get a newer 32-bit DLL here and 64-bit DLL here. I hope this helps!

@Ekopalypse cool, thanks for advice, turned out to be pywin32_system32 not being searched for some reason

Apparently lookup path was (intentionally screwed up) modified

I managed to fix my problem by placing pywintypes38.dll and pythoncom38.dll to NPP root

@chersanz

you are looking for bufferactivated event.
One way to track this is to use setproperty and its get variant.
Or you do write your own document management.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Is there a plugin to close tabs by RMB (open tab options by Ctrl+RMB):

If you accidentally do this in the wrong place, with quick actions enabled (e.g. little X on the tab), you could do some damage (well, close a file you don’t want to, and then have to remember which one it was to retrieve it).

Ctrl+Shift+T could be of help here in order to repear a wrong move. Just my two cents.

Did you succeed to handle customizing of your menu buttons eventually ? If so, how did you do ?

@E-de-Miguel said in [New Plugin] BetterMultiSelection:

Example: I have 200 hundred lines and I want to add some text at the end of each line. I would love to multi-select all the lines with Shift+Alt and press End to go till the end of all selected lines with the carets enabled yet (now the N++ loses those multi-carets) .

I have no problem doing this (with BetterMultiSelection installed and enabled). I make a column-block on (any) parts of all the lines I want to affect – doesn’t have to be something that boxes in the entire line – and then I press the End key and blammo! – I get a bunch of carets at the end of each individual line.

@E-de-Miguel

@Alan-Kilborn is describing the expected behavior and I also do this frequently.

@rinku-singh ,

What does a PR for NppGTags plugin have to do with the issue at hand? A random link, and the statement “i think you are at windows 10”, doesn’t help anyone understand what you are trying to get across.

If you think the NppGTags solution will help @Guido-Thelen solve his problem, you will have to explain how and why you think that.

edit: Are you suggesting, like in the issue behind that PR, that @Guido-Thelen should install/update his Visual C++ redistributable 2015-2019 ? /edit

Hi, follow-up. I go spell working, I think. FYI if I click on the “?” in ++ it brings up a window asking about the path for Aspell and guessing that is where i got off course. thanks, this marginally computer literate appreciates your help.

@Roy-Booth

Your title “in all files” disagrees with the body “in current document”

In addition to Alan’s suggestions, here’s another:

perform (current doc) s&r so all instances of the text have a loud flag, for ex. "CREATE TABLE(ATTENTION ROY!) do 1 normal search on the altered text; use F3 to cycle thru all hits, making any changes or fixes you require do a final (current doc) s&r so all instances of (ATTENTION ROY!) are removed
