Originally, I was going to develop a plug-in that would disable or change context menus, but after two days of holding onto it because of my poor knowledge of MFC coding, I decided to modify the source code of notepad++ and build it in Visual Studio Community edition. So I searched the source code files and found out which parts to modify. As you can see from the screenshot, I had to modify two files.

I finally succeeded in building the error code by using Google search power to search for the error code and correct the problem after half a day without being able to build it due to minor warnings and errors in the source code. The built ‘notepad++.exe’ file was overwritten in a folder that was already installed, and most of the menu items were removed as I wanted, such as a screenshot.

Before that, it was common to be embarrassed because it was difficult to predict which direction the tall context menu panel would be displayed vertically, or to accidentally press the “close all” item. I’m so happy that it didn’t happen anymore.

I turned off ‘automatic updates’, but even if I update them later, I’ll have to get the source code for the new version, modify it like this, and build it. If a competent developer develop and release the Doc Switcher as a single plug-in or, like I did, an advanced plug-in that has eliminated most of the context menu items, this inconvenience will be eliminated. But In my Google search, I found a lot of similar requests for improvement on DocSwitcher over the last five years. Judging from the fact that they haven’t been reflected at all so far, I don’t think I can expect much from now on. Thank you both for your answers.

“zencode” is an outdated plugin, I suggest installing the newer “Emmet” plugin from the same author!
https://github.com/emmetio/
https://emmet.io/

See https://www.scout-soft.com/combine/, you might request a 64 bit version from the author at info@Scout-Soft.com.

@Ekopalypse Thanks! I’ll check it out.

@WinterSilence

I guess so, did a quick test with PythonScript plugin and it seems to do
what it states it will do.

Do you suspect that this is not so?

@Bas-de-Reuver

You either use styles or indicators.
An example of how you can do this is shown here.

embed JS in C#

Thank you!
I will give it a look :)

@moon6969

yes I see, I guess some kind of notification, as you wrote, is needed here.
The wording NPPN_PARAMETERS_CHANGED might be a bit misleading
as the mono-instance is still reporting its parameters correctly.
Maybe NPPN_DIFFERENT_INSTANCE_MERGED?
Native speakers - what do you suggest? :-)

@Guenther-Sohler

thit sounds like that you did not select an SDK when you installed Visual Studio, could that be?

@Ekopalypse ok certamente

@Alan-Kilborn The question is, do I correctly catch notifications or is there a better solution?

here’s the direct link: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/8394

The only major hurdle was the exports - all it needed was an exports.def file once you nudged me in the right direction.

I’ve noted this on the Github readme, and there are comments in the code for the bits I found tricky.

@M-Andre-Z-Eckenrode said in Intricacies of Regex Replace via Python Script:

Because 99.9% of the text I’m dealing with is adequately expressed in ANSI, and Unicode files are larger than ANSI. Granted, they’re just text files and not particularly large ones either way, but I’m a conservationist at heart and am compelled to avoid wasting space. :-)

I don’t think that is a compelling reason at all.
But, democracy rules, so do what you like. :-)
But, as this thread sort of shows, a complete understanding of encoding is an important thing.
For myself, I’m not 100% of the way there, but hopefully getting better all the time

The python 2.7 version of it is at https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/string.html#format-string-syntax

Thank you :)

Save styles and bookmarks plugin/script

BTW, bookmarks are already saved automatically by Notepad++, so aren’t they a non-issue?

@Ekopalypse

I think I have made a very obvious mistake. I forgot to specify my search flag as you mentioned in my other post. After switching it to Regexp, it seems to be working. I feel like that was very obvious and you have taken a lot of your time to help me, so thank you again for all your help.

If anything else happens, I’ll post again. Thanks.
