      @donho
      Sometimes there are users (like me) that do some silly thing, that are not expected.

      In version 8.6 a new style had been introduced: “Multi selected text colour”. The effect for me was, that in column-select mode the selection was shown only partially (last line only). It took me some time to find out what was my fault. I use a personalised style, where the default background colour happens to have the value “C0C0C0”, the same value as the background for this new style. Therefore I could not see the selection because it had the same bg-colour as the rest of my text. For “Selected text colour” I use the value “A0A0A0”; after applying this value to the new style, it worked again.

      I know, it is really a very special case, but it may happen. A similar situation might arise with other changes in the future. For these cases it would help to have a backup for comparison.

      So with installation of a new notepad 8.9 version, these settings in shortcuts.xml should be updated (maybe automatically with installation):

      from:
      1c3beaba-3b9c-46be-8fff-2f9dace10a63-image.png

      to:
      f08a7ae4-6d8d-486a-89b2-57b79dee1091-image.png

      I’m only a user so I don’t know the details, but maybe simply CR could be changed to 
 and CRLF to 
 (and if existent LF to 
)?

      @Terry-R This is very helpful and I was unaware of that issue. Thank you. Based on dates, it looks like I was using 8.8.5. It seems likely, especially the description of removing the structure around the installation.

      @guy038 said in Perl keywords "class" and "method" not recognised by Function List:

      for these two syntaxes, I just supposed that standard ASCII characters are used, from \x20 to \x7E, except for \x28 and \x29 in one part and \x7B in second part ! May be, the \t should be part of each class character, either

      Perl allows Unicode alphanumeric/“word character” in any such identifier or token (just cannot start with a numeric), so restricting to ASCII is not going to work

      Hello, @coises and All,

      Continuation and end of my post

      I also tested ALL the `equivalence class feature :

      You can use ANY equivalent character to get the total number of matches of the equivalence class character. For example, [[=ª=]] = [[=Å=]] = [[=ã=]] = … )

      Here is, below, the list of all the equivalences of any char of the Windows-1252 code-page, against the Total_ANSI.txt file. Note that I did not consider the equivalence classes which returns only one match !

      [[=1=]] = [[=one=]] => 2 [1¹] [[=2=]] = [[=two=]] => 2 [2²] [[=3=]] = [[=three=]] => 2 [3³] [[=A=]] => 15 [AaªÀÁÂÃÄÅàáâãäå] [[=B=]] => 2 [Bb] [[=C=]] => 4 [CcÇç] [[=D=]] => 4 [DdÐð] [[=E=]] => 10 [EeÈÉÊËèéêë] [[=F=]] => 3 [Ffƒ] [[=G=]] => 2 [Gg] [[=H=]] => 2 [Hh] [[=I=]] => 10 [IiÌÍÎÏìíîï] [[=J=]] => 2 [Jj] [[=K=]] => 2 [Kk] [[=L=]] => 2 [Ll] [[=M=]] => 2 [Mm] [[=N=]] => 4 [NnÑñ] [[=O=]] => 15 [OoºÒÓÔÕÖØòóôõöø] [[=P=]] => 2 [Pp] [[=Q=]] => 2 [Qq] [[=R=]] => 2 [Rr] [[=S=]] => 4 [SsŠš] [[=T=]] => 2 [Tt] [[=U=]] => 10 [UuÙÚÛÜùúûü] [[=V=]] => 2 [Vv] [[=W=]] => 2 [Ww] [[=X=]] => 2 [Xx] [[=Y=]] => 6 [YyÝýÿŸ] [[=Z=]] => 4 [ZzŽž] [[=^=]] = [[=circumflex=]] => 2 [^ˆ] = [\x5E\x{02C6}] [[=Œ=]] => 2 [Œœ] = [\x{0152}\x{0153}] [[=­=]] => 2 [[.NUL.][.SHY.]] = [\x00\xAD] [[=Þ=]] => 2 [Þþ] = [\xDE\xFE]

      Some double-letter characters equivalences :

      [[=AE=]] = [[=Ae=]] = [[=ae=]] => 2 [Ææ] = [\xC6\xE6] [[=SS=]] = [[=Ss=]] = [[=ss=]] => 1 [ß] = [\xDF]

      An example : let’s suppose that we run this regex [A-F[:lower:]], against my Total_ANSI.txt file. It does give 69 matches, so 6 UPPER letters + 63 LOWER letters

      The regexes [[:upper:]]|[[:lower:]] and [[:upper:][:lower:]] act as insensitive regexes and return 123 matches ( So 60 UPPER letters + 63 LOWER letters )

      The regexes (?=\u)\l and (?=\l)\u do not find anything. This implies that the sets of UPPER and LOWER letters, in Total_ANSI.twt, are totally disjoint

      Best Regards

      guy038

      P.S. :

      BTW, I forgot to list the equivalence classes, > 1, of the Control C0/C1 and Control Format characters, against the Total_Chars.txt file ! Here are the results, below :

      [[=nul=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cc [[= =]] => 3 [\x{0020}\x{205F}\x{3000}] Zs [[=mmsp=]] => 3 [\x{0020}\x{205F}\x{3000}] Zs [[=idsp=]] => 3 [\x{0020}\x{205F}\x{3000}] Zs [[=shy=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=alm=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=sam=]] => 2 [\x{070F}\x{2E1A}] Po [[=nqsp=]] => 2 [\x{2000}\X[2002}] Zs [[=ensp=]] => 2 [\x{2000}\X[2002}] Zs [[=mqsp=]] => 2 [\x{2001}\X{2003}] Zs [[=emsp=]] => 2 [\x{2001}\X{2003}] Zs [[=zwnj=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=zwj=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=lrm=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=rlm=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=ls=]] => 2 [\x{2028}\x{FE47}] Zl [[=lre=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=rle=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=pdf=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=lro=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=rlo=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=wj=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=(fa)=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=(it)=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=(is)=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=(ip)=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=lri=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=rli=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=fsi=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=pdi=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=iss=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=ass=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=iafs=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=aafs=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=nads=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=nods=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=zwnbsp=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=iaa=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=ias=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf [[=iat=]] => 3,240 [\x{0000}\X{00AD}....] Cf

      As you can see, a lot of Format characters return an erroneous result of 3,240 occurrences. But we’re not going to bother about these wrong equivalence classes, as long as the similar collating names, with the [[.XXX.]] syntax, are totally correct !

      Luckily, all the other equivalence classes are also correct, except for [[=ls=]] which returns 2 matches \x{2028} and \x{FE47} ??

      @Alan-Kilborn said in 'Find in Files' doesn't appear to work:

      If a folder doesn’t exist, I think when the search is initiated, input focus will immediately jump to the Directory: box, signaling a problem with that folder to the user (without a message box). Not on a PC right now, so can’t verify; going from memory.

      I see you are correct. However… I also see that the search results show 0 files searched. So I don’t see how it could be a problem with what is in the Find box. The directory might exist, but not be the one OP meant to search.

      Chill, Peter :-) Breath in, breath out. Everything is fine. (This is meant in a very positive way. I feel that you are very busy right now.)

      Of course, yes, this is definitly no big deal. But it is nothing wrong in talking about it. Or just bringing up a question about it. Or an idea.

      IMO, Thomas is not wrong with his observation/question/request. The red x icon is the only colorized icon while using light mode and fluent UI. So a more consistant behaviour would be, to have the x icon appearance coupled on the icon choice rather than the light/dark mode choice. (Means red x icon coupled to standard icons, a fluent x icon to the fluent UI.)

      Yes sure, this issue is nothing important compared to the more urgent topics in the issue tracker.

      @Eric-Wiseman said in Bug in sorting lines, staying there for years:

      Line Operations -> Sort lines works ONLY if you convert Edit -> EOL Conversion ->Unix.

      Unless I am missing something this looks like a bug…

      As others have already explained, this is not a bug but rather a known and documented limitation, that all line endings must be the same.

      If Sort Lines In Locale Order Ascending and Descending do what you want, those sorts implemented differently and are not dependent on consistent line endings. The ending for each line will remain with the text of the line it follows.

      The Locale sorts can also sort using a rectangular selection for the keys even if there are tabs or characters of differing byte widths (such as can happen with non-ASCII characters in UTF-8) to the left of the selection, which does not work with the other sorts.
