Thanks for your replies. I tried using ftp from a Windows command prompt to upload my file but it was blocked by the Firewall. That’s presumably why the NPP Plugin was failing, although it wasn’t saying what the problem was.

Thanks again
Best wishes

@PeterJones said in Scintilla script help for 'Show white space and TAB':

I’ll leave it at that.

When have you known me to leave it at that? ;-)

To set the whitespace size with a scripting language (in case you don’t want to use ExtSettings):

PythonScript: add the following to your startup.py (or to another script you call from startup.py:

editor1.setWhitespaceSize(0) editor2.setWhitespaceSize(0)

NppExec:

Plugins > NppExec > Execute, type in:

set local x = $(FILE_NAME) npp_switch $(LEFT_VIEW_FILE) sci_sendmsg SCI_SETWHITESPACESIZE 0 npp_switch $(RIGHT_VIEW_FILE) sci_sendmsg SCI_SETWHITESPACESIZE 0 npp_switch $(x)

Save…, pick a name (like ZeroWhitespaceSize)

Plugins > NppExec > Advanced Options

Execute this script when Notepad++ starts = ZeroWhitespaceSize

@pnedev said in NPPM_INTERNAL_* commands:

For example those messages might be doing only part of the job you think they are doing.

That’s probably the best reason right there. :-)

Thanks for the explanation.

@dinkumoil

:-D just done, and I assume code part has been identified as well.
Thx for confirming.

It appears to be published now.

But if the clickbait was chosen that good,
then one might remember it and find it easier :-)

@PeterJones - something for in-other-languages?

You can add keywords for each language yourself

Hi Zachary,

I am the author of both Gradient and GPT-2 adaptation for it.
Unless you are planning to sell your plugin, feel free to use Gradient. If you want to make it open-source, I’d be glad to provide help.

Note though, that one would have to install Python + TensorFlow to use GPT-2.

Ummm…you can do that sort of thing already using regular expressions, but it can get unwieldy if you have a lot of data. Just thought I’d point that out.

@Ekopalypse Thanks very much for your involvement.
Once you’are ready for beta testing, you can contact me.

@Andrew-Cutforth See https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppPluginList. You may want to provide a zip package which could be installed via PluginAdmin for N++ versions newer than 7.6.3.

my apologies, seems that this problem occured after an ugly computer shutdown (empty laptop battery or a savage windows update, no idea what occured).
after more testing on my side, all seems to run fine now
thanks for your time and patience

I wrote a plugin that can be used to configure left cursor movement to stop at left margin. Since this relies on a Scintilla setting you have to use at least Notepad++ v7.7. Untick option Wrap cursor at line start. The plugin’s name is ExtSettings. You can download it >>> here <<<. It will also be available soon via PluginsAdmin.

As @Alan-Kilborn said I’m developing Notepad++ plugins in Delphi.

Have a look at the GitHub repo of my NppUISpy plugin. In the folder src/Lib you’ll find my modified and extended version of the Delphi Plugin Framework, based on the work of Damjan Zobo Cvetko. It is 32 bit/64 bit capable and already adapted to the new Scintilla v4.1.4 API used since Notepad++ v7.7.

Thanks, I see on next week!

Thank you very much guys! I’m proud of free software community for fast replying and useful answers!

Have a nice day! :)

@Peter-Wokke

and a save option

As to saving, there’s a method here, although it is probably not for noobs.
