Hello, @coises and All, Presently, I think we can summarize how your plugin works, using the table, below, on its left part : •=========================•=======================•============================================• •===============•============================== | Actions | Scopes | Extents | | Actions | Default configuration •=========================•=======================•============================================• •===============•============================== | | | | | | | Count | In Selection | N/A | | Find | | ¯¯¯¯¯ | | | | | | •-----------------------•--------------------------------------------• •---------------•------------------------------ | | | | | | | Find All | | Before Caret | | Count | | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | | | | | | | In Marked Test | After Caret | •---------------•------------------------------ | | | | | | | Mark | | Everywhere | | Find All | | | | | | | | | In Whole Document | In All Opened Documents | •---------------•------------------------------ | | | | | | | Replace All | | In All Opened Documents of Current View | | Select | | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | | | | | •-------------------------•-----------------------•--------------------------------------------• •---------------•------------------------------ | | | | | | | | In Selection | N/A | | Mark | | | | | | | | Select •-----------------------•--------------------------------------------• •---------------•------------------------------ | | | | | | | | In Marked Text | Before Caret | | Show | | | | | | | | | | After Caret | •---------------•------------------------------ | Show | | | | | | | In Whole Document | Everywhere | | Replace | | | | | | | •-------------------------•-----------------------•--------------------------------------------• •---------------•------------------------------ | | | | | | | Find | In Selection | | | Replace All | | ¯¯¯¯ | | Backward ( if Plain text ) | | | | | In Marked Text | | •===============•============================== | | | | | Replace | In Whole Document | Forward | | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ | | | •=========================•=======================•============================================• The underlined actions are those which have a button, by default Personally, your concept of a default scope bothers me a little, because it’s hard for me to know, in advance, which actions will be automatically selected by the plugin ! So, I was thinking about a radically different layout : You entirely suppress the default scope functionality. However, I suppose this will affect the Selection section in the settings ! You does not show any symbol on all the buttons, nor use any drop-down list You just show six one-letter buttons and two one-letter button for the replace actions, as below : |F| |C| |A| |S| |M| |H| : Find Count find All Select Mark sHow |R| |A| Replace replace All All these simple-design buttons would open a common dialog box, in which the selected action — one of the eight possible options — would be already selected by default. This dialogue could be based on the table shown above ! Then, you’ll just have to check your present scope and extent choices for the chosen action Optionally a message, summarizing everything that has just been selected, could be displayed Then, this new dialog would end with three buttons : A Define button to attribute a default configuration ( scope and extent ) for the chosen action, without any execution. A Run button to start the chosen action, without any default configuration to apply to And, of course, a Cancel button, or an hit on the ESC key, to dismiss the chosen action IMPORTANT : As we must distinguish a default configuration ( the set of the 3 elements : action, scope and extent ) from the execution of a simple action with ramdom scope and extent, the Define button, introduced above, must record that default configuration, within this dialog. So, when clicking on the Define button, the default configuration, to write in this new dialog, would be : For the Count, Find All, Mark and Replace All actions, one of these 11 messages Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Selection Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Marked text Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All Before in Marked text Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All After in Marked text Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Marked Text in Open Documents Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Marked Text in Documents in this View Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Whole Document Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All Before in Whole Document Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All After in Whole Document Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Open Documents Count / Find All / Mark / Replace All in Documents in this View For the Select and Show actions, one of these 7 messages : Select / Show in Selection Select / Show in Marked text Select / Show Before in Marked text Select / Show After in Marked text Select / Show in Whole Document Select / Show Before in Whole Document Select / Show After in Whole Document For the Find and Replace actions, one of these 6 messages : Find / Replace Forward in Selection Find / Replace Forward in Marked Text Find / Replace Forward in Whole Document Find / Replace Backward in Selection Find / Replace Backward in Marked Text Find / Replace Backward in Whole Document Notes : Of course, you could, in one go, click first on the Define button, then click on the Run button A simple click on any of these eight buttons, would allow to quickly verify their default configurations, as long as you press the Cancel button, right after ! In other words, no more drop-down menus ! Instead, a new configuration dialog to confirm the default scope and extent values of the chosen action AND / OR the execution of the chosen action, with the present options checked in the scope and extent sections There are surely some drawbacks to my proposal ! Anyway, what’s your feeling about this radical change ? Best Regards, guy038

Here are the latest binaries if you are interested: 32-bit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jmKaSU5YF2Hd2mHKAWDZyG4NDfx99Xnc/view?usp=drive_link 64-bit (x86_64): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mrqNicsfjfJITmrfeHlG2WEzgHZdokI-/view?usp=drive_link

It never inserts the text at the caret’s position for me: it either moves up a line and/or replaces the existing text. What am I misunderstanding?

MultiReplace 6.1 is out and will land in Plugin Admin with the next Notepad++ release. The focus of this release is Replace All in One Pass, running the whole list in a single left-to-right sweep instead of one full pass per entry, together with a reworked Find/Replace in Files and a handful of list and UI improvements. Several new options live under Plugins > MultiReplace > Settings. Download: Latest build Key Features & Improvements Replace All in One Pass: Runs the whole list in a single pass instead of one full Replace All per entry, so results build on each other left to right. With cat → dog and dog → cat, sequential mode turns “cat dog” into “cat cat”, one pass turns it into “dog cat”. Much faster on large documents. Toggle per tab, right-click the list tab. Use Open Documents: Find/Replace in Files can now work on files already open in Notepad++ as the live document, unsaved changes included, instead of the copy on disk. New checkbox in Settings. Skip Binary Files: New option for Find/Replace in Files (on by default), same detection as ripgrep and VS Code. Also adds UTF-16 detection without a BOM, and skipped files are always reported, broken down by reason. CSV Header Rows: Find/Replace now always searches header rows too. “Header rows to exclude” only protects sorting and duplicate detection. Collapse to File List: New Search Results dock option folding every search block down to just file names and hit counts. Ctrl/Shift-click works in the fold margin, same as Notepad++'s own Search Results panel. Library Mode: “Keep list always visible” can now be switched right from the Use List button’s context menu, no detour through Settings. Add New Row: Takes over the dialog’s current search options instead of starting all off. Find/Replace text still starts empty. Duplicate Row Reporting: A list row that exactly duplicates an earlier enabled one is skipped as before, but the status line now tells you how many rows were skipped.

@peter-wall said: It works if that setting is off. It works, full stop. You just need to understand the documentation. As ScintillaDoc says for SCI_SETFIRSTVISIBLELINE, “These messages retrieve and set the line number of the first visible line in the Scintilla view. The first line in the document is numbered 0. The value is a visible line rather than a document line.” (emhasis added). The “document line” in Scintilla is the same thing that Notepad++ numbers in the line number column: it’s the real line, no wrapping. The “visible line” is affected by hiding lines and/or wrapped lines: if you have lines hidden in the document, that can decrease the visible line index relative to the document line number; if you have lines wrapped, that can increase the visible line index relative to the document line number. Scintilla has commands like SCI_VISIBLEFROMDOCLINE and SCI_DOCLINEFROMVISIBLE to help transform between the two concepts, and SCI_WRAPCOUNT will help you determine how many visible lines a single document line will become. If you want to turn word wrapping off, set your visible line, then reinstate word-wrapping, that’s fine; but the Scintilla messages provide other ways to allow you to correctly handle visible-line vs display-line.

@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 §
