@dinkumoil thanks, I will try it.

@Ekopalypse , @Alan-Kilborn , and others,

I think the difference is that in the situation called, there are two layers: there’s the NppExec script, which is being called by the shortcut; then the NppExec is using SendMessage to activate the PythonScript menu from a “click the menu equivalent”.

So while the shortcut is associated with the NppExec script, it’s keys are still “active” when the menu is “clicked”, so the PS check of “am I being Ctrl+Clicked” sees the Ctrl from the NppExec shortcut and the click from the NppExec SendMessage.

Whereas, when you just run a PythonScript with a keyboard shortcut, it isn’t also getting the “clicked” attribute.

At least, that’s what I’ve gathered from the evidence given in this dicsussion; I could easily be wrong.

@rdipardo Oh wow that worked great!

Really appreciate the time you guys took to help me, thanks!

@Vitalii-Dovgan If you preserve a file’s modified time stamp then Notepad++ does not notice it has changed. Thus it’s possible to sneak in and make changes without triggering the pop-up.

Of course, that also means Notepad++'s in-memory copy of an open file would be out of sync with with what’s on disk. If you do File / Reload from Disk then Notepad++ will pick up the new file contents. Reload from Disk is also available in the right click menu for the file’s tab.

@pnedev Sorry for necroposting, but why no one said magic words “Group policies”? Chromium (and Chrome ofc) extensively uses this feature. Yes, in order to use this feature Notepad++ should provide administrative templates, but it is not that hard.

@Alexander-Verbitsky Congratulations!

@Vitalii-Dovgan said in Auto paste the selected text automatically into One File:

I’ve found the idea of the Clipboard Monitor to be interesting enough to experiment with and to include it into NppExec Manual.

You are amazing! I simply could not use Notepad++ without NppExec.

Cheers.

@rdipardo said in New version of HTML Tag:

By urgent request,

My “urgent request” and thank you for promptly adding this feature. Certainly not expected to be this quick, but you are a very talented and dedicated developer and I do appreciate your commitment to Notepad++ and supporting the plugin ecosystem.

This will certainly make my workflow (currently involves creating / editing XML schemas and docs) much easier as the tags update and change in the flux of this development period and auto-selecting the matching tags (sometimes far away in the document and nested) for renaming saves so much manual time.

Cheers.

@Michael-Vincent said in Catching the SCN_UPDATEUI event in Plugin:

Why not just do it the “plugin recommended way” (as per the Notepad++ example plugin):

Thxs, Michael. Your suggestion was exactly what I needed. It was simpler than I initially thought, yet I spent hours figuring it out.

I couldn’t get the plugin to do anything, for either Python or C++. :-(

I make a selection, then press the toolbar button and nothing happens.

I notice the plug hijacks Ctrl+q. I’m a believer that plugins should never assign keycombos.

@theshoeshiner did you guys compare the options for XML Tools?
There’s quite a number of settings there that would affect the result.

@Adil-Sattar
Since most Kotlin developers have probably long since moved to more fully-featured IDEs (can’t speak to what those are; not a Kotlin dev myself), you will probably be waiting a long time to get something made by someone else.

If you’re really determined to use Notepad++ to write Kotlin, your options would seem to be:
1a. Use the User defined language system, supplemented with EnhanceAnyLexer as needed/desired.
OR 1b. If you’re really hardcore, write a new lexer in C++ and submit it to the fine people at Lexilla
2. Maybe use NppLspClient with some Kotlin LSP server to get autocompletions and syntax analysis and whatnot?

@istec ,
You need to go to the plugin authors github site or website and make this specific request. This forum is a group of like users that help each other, we are not developers that can make changes you throw out in a request. Please check your plugin’s Help/About information to reach the author.

@Pat-Sinclair-0
Go to repo with plugin issue if you haven’t already.

if I had a penny for every time I said something like this to somebody posting about a plugin issue on the community forum… (don’t worry OP, I’m not mad at you, just amused at how often I say something to this effect)

A PythonScript plugin would be the best approach. I suggest starting with the NeoVim plugin, which is just a Python module. Most of the APIs provided by pynvim.api.nvim should have Scintilla equivalents in PythonScript’s API modules. If not, you could make a contribution to PythonScript by patching them in. (Neo)Vim is years ahead of N++ in terms of a fully integrated Python subsystem.

@General-Coder said in Context menu via code:

So is the only way SendMessage?

If by that you mean using Windows API calls which deal with menus, then the answer is yes.

@rdipardo said in Plugin Docking Panel floating / docked detection:

DMN_FLOAT and DMN_DOCK are passed as the code member of a NMHDR struct, which you intercept by hooking the WM_NOTIFY message.

Indeed. This all makes sense now. I’m overriding the default run_dlgProc() in “DockingDlgInterface.h”. So what I need to do in my run_dlgProc() is if I don’t process the WM_NOTIFY, call the default one:

DockingDlgInterface::run_dlgProc( message, wParam, lParam );

Works now! Thank you all - have a great weekend!

Cheers.
