@johnny-stevens ,

Plugin Manager hasn’t been compatible with Notepad++ for years. I assume you mean the Plugins Admin.

A fresh unzip of Notepad++ v8.2.1 shows that Plugins Admin links to Compare Plugin v2.0.1

v8.2.2 was never officially released (there was a RC with that number, but it was released as v8.3). v8.3 Plugins Admin links to Compare Plugin v2.0.2.

In other words, the actual releases link to the right versions of the Compare Plugin. WooHoo, it does it right!

@michael-vincent Yeah, thank you very much for sharing your story. I also experienced sublime and ultraeditor before and then come back to Notepad++. It’s neat and very light-weight to run.

Cheers.

@zylstra said in With the "replace all" button, replace everything in truth.:

Are either of you UI designers? Or at least designers for this application?

I’m an old-timer here on this site, so I know where this is going…
It comes up occasionally.
Everyone thinks they have the best idea for how this UI should be designed.
And everyone proposing changes gets shot down, because there is no “best idea”.
So if you want to continue complaining about this UI, go ahead, but I guarantee that it is pointless and no one will care about your complaints.

The answer is to learn how to use the software – it isn’t that difficult. Some of your initial statements show that you have no clue about a traditional text editor’s search and replace functions and the basic workings that have been in place for decades.

Hi all,

@guy038 said in Autocomplete over multiple lines:

Hi, @romain-bocquiau, @peterjones, @michael-vincent, @alan-kilborn and All,

Peter, I think that the BetterMultiSelection plugin, of @dail, allows and keeps the multi or column selection on several lines, together with the auto completion feature ! Just tested !

Best Regards,

guy038

It was exactly what i needed. thank you.

Continuing to polish the plugin before the release :)
Latest dev version NppExec20220215 includes small improvements, such as:

new flag 64 for “npe_console c<N>”, “npe_console s<N>” and “npp_exectext” fixed: “npe_console k3” did not work with Alt+key (internal) CNppExecCommandExecutor::ExecuteChildProcessCommand supports multi-line input

The XML Tools

Thank you, some of the community users use that plugin, but this is the wrong place to report a bug for a specific plugin.

You may find better results here - the authors are pretty active - having just release an update for N++ 8.3.

Cheers.

I see. Thank you very much for the guidance.

I’m the developer of the plugin. Unfortunately there isn’t anything I can do. Our corporate security also uses some flavor of CrowdStrike as well. I’m on Notepad++ 8.1.9.3 (64 bit) and I don’t plan on using 8.3 due to the various issues it is causing. I don’t have any issues, though I’m sure each deployment of CrowdStrike is different.

@peterjones said in [Need Help] npp c++ plugin:

Well, the PythonScript console is a docking panel of sorts, and could be used for outputting such data, as long as the OP just wants a simple text output, and doesn’t care about fancy formatting.

All true, but I think the OP is going for something more sophisticated.

Did you find a solution to this?

@aldo ,

In many of the builtin lexers, comment blocks or multiple sequential comment-lines already do have a “fold” button to the left, which can be used for hiding the comments.

For User Defined Languages (UDL), it will only fold the comments if you check on the “Allow folding of comments” checkbox:

@Predelnik
I see you here sometimes

Unless he has a second account, or only logs on in hidden mode, his account info:

… indicates that he hasn’t been here in over two years… I think the issue on the repo is more likely to catch his attention. ;-)

@manousos-p-koutsoukos said in Quick Text and Regex:

im trying to make it recognize a html opening tag and add the closing tag

That is the wrong use of that plugin. Notepad++ auto-completes HTML tags automatically. Settings => Preferences => Auto-Complete

From Npp’s point of view you only provide the main menu via the function item array, everything else has to be handled by your plugin.
To do that, ask Npp for the plugin menu handle and once you have it, find the menu item you want to add sub-items to like here.
Now, to know when an npp user has clicked on such a menu item, you need to listen to the messageProc and act accordingly.
If it is necessary to manipulate the main menu of the plugin at runtime, then you need to ask Npp for a list of pre-assigned menu items.
I agree that this part could be described in more detail in the manual, which I will do soon.
If there is anything else that you think is not well described or maybe irritating, let us know.

@Alan-Kilborn

It is the same for any Windows program coding.

Creating the menu, yes, but with some Npp-related *quirks that I hope I described clearly above.

*can’t find another/better word for it.

@slusher59 said in Looking for tips/directions on how to best approach creating a custom plugin for Notepad++:

is it possible in NPP to display only the search results that have > 0 hits, and hide all searches that returned 0 results?

As I said before:

@alan-kilborn said in Looking for tips/directions on how to best approach creating a custom plugin for Notepad++:

So Search results window and PythonScript don’t typically play well together.

If you script searches, you have to find your own way of presenting the output to the user.

One way of doing this is having your script write output to a new (file) tab that it creates. That way you have total control of what goes into the output. You can even make it appear a lot like the usual Search results. If you want to get really fancy, you could even set it up so that double-clicking in this output would open the file where the hit was found.

It just depends if the time you want to spend on this is better spent scripting or developing a true plugin. But even a true plugin isn’t going to have an easy time of doing custom things with Notepad++'s Search results area.
