The Plugin manager does require an active internet connection to show available plugins.
Check that it is ok when you start NP++.

See https://github.com/bruderstein/npp-plugins-x64 for the management of the x64 plugin list. You could contribute, if you want. A template which contains the x86 export is at https://github.com/bruderstein/npp-plugins-x64/blob/master/plugins/plugins_template.xml.

Also the x86 version (management therefore is at https://npppm.bruderste.in/plugins/edit/xml-tools) is not yet at the latest available version 2.4.9.2, but still at 2.4.8.

I would take a look at the Python Script plugin as in that two simple ui elements have been added, prompt and messageBox, both implemented in the plugin rather than in python,

For example

response = notepad.prompt(“Please enter a value”, “Enter a value”)
notepad.messageBox(“File is empty!!!”)

I am sure these could be implemented in the same way.

@Claudia-Frank

It works!

Thank you!

@Kathleen

did you try to restart npp??
Which version of plugin manager are you running?
Please post your debug-info as well.

Cheers

Could be made working with some tweaks.
My idea would involve nppexec plugin and two versions
of NppExec.ini file because NppExec can be configured to run Compare
on notepad++ startup.

Basically, one NppExec.ini is configured with something like

ScriptNppStart="RunCompare"

and the other with default settings.
You create a batch file which gets executed when clicking the explorer context menu entry.
The batch file itself renames the default NppExec.ini to something like NppExec.ini.default
and the special one from, let’s say NppExec.ini_compare to NppExec.ini .
Then it starts npp exec with the parameter to open the two files and afterwards
renames the NppExec.inis back to default. Should work, I guess.

Don’t have windows - so can’t really test.

Awesome! Can’t wait to grab it when it comes out! Thanks

Hello, @dail,

With your new version 1.1 of your SurroundSelection.dll plugin, the equivalent keys, on my French keyboard, are, as below :

VK_OEM_4 key = FR Key ° ) ] For [......] => VK_OEM_6 key = FR Key ^ ¨ SHIFT + VK_OEM_4 key = FR Key ° ) ] For {......} => SHIFT + VK_OEM_6 key = FR Key ^ ¨ SHIFT + VK_9 key = FR Key 9 ç ^ For (......) => SHIFT + VK_0 key = FR Key 0 à @ For '......' => VK_OEM_7 key = FR Key ² For "......" => SHIFT + VK_OEM_7 key = FR Key ²

@dail, although I’m quite able to remember these five weird French keys, is there any way to adapt your plugin to “non-English” users ?

May be, I’m going to tell some technical impossibilities, but why not a simple .ini file, where these five keys could be defined ?

Anyway, @dail, many thanks for that very handy plugin, especially, when using rectangular selection !!

Cheers,

Thanks, will try updating manually.

@guy038

Hi Guy, yes…I purposefully left functionality augmentations of that simple script as “exercises for the reader”. But you have provided the tools for the hackers.

:-D

For private use you could also install the Community edition, which has no restrictions (code analyis, addins,… as far as I remember) like the express edition.

WOW! THANKS! You are amazing :-)

You may wan’t to have a look at https://github.com/chcg/NPP_ExportPlugin, regarding appveyor build, x64 build. Otherwise there are no functional changes.
