do you know if the macros are stored in notepads settings

This and other such questions are answered in the npp-user-manual.org website, which is linked inside Notepad++ as the ? menu’s Notepad++ Online Document entry.

The location of config files is described in https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/ The macros section of shortcuts.xml is described at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#macros The overview of macros is found at https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/macros/

All the same, I think any feature request for a more system-integrated portable version is better placed with a project that deals exclusively with packaging. Scoop and winget are just the first two that come to mind. There’s even a close-sourced project distributing MSI installers.

@Maria-Benich Thank you! It worked perfect!

@terry-r For some reason I can’t use any regexs on the LF versions of these transcripts - I get an error message about the document being read only. Guy038 wrote a new regex that worked like a charm, though.

Thanks again for your help leading me through this. I appreciate it :)

@guy038 those are changes made by me, manually :)

@Alan-Kilborn

ah, is deprecated and will be removed. Point to you ;)

If @donho comes along to enlighten us…

Given his level of participation here, I’d have to guess that Don doesn’t care.
And, going forward, neither do I.

@ahmed-syed I signed in to this site just to say THANK YOU!!! I did not know about the post-it mode and am absolutely loving it.
I knew about adding virtual desktops but it’s good to see somebody else giving them some love. Most people I’ve interacted with just think it’s gimmicky, but if you know how to utilize it correctly, it can be an invaluable multi-tasking tool.

Impressed that “5 years later” this thread and plugin again got attention. This plugin is exactly what I needed.

The alternative plugin mentioned by @DaveyD in 2017, called “File Switcher, by Dave Brotherstone” no longer appears in my Plugin Admin (maybe I’m doing something wrong) so I’m glad I have this.

[FYI: I found this plugin mentioned at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/14375/search-open-file-name after searching the internet for “notepad++ search open tabs” and “notepad++ search open filenames”.]

My problem is I have 31 tabs open and NavigateTo didnt see 2 of my tabs. Both are recently opened. But it does see fine another tab that was recently opened.

One of the missing files is from a flash drive, flash drive then removed, npp asks me if I want to keep it and I say yes. But the other is regular file resident on local drive. And other files from the flash drive show up. And another new file I just loaded while writing this is correctly present in the NavigateTo list.

I am using v.1.12.4.1 and my Notepad++ is at v8.3.3 which is not the latest.

Possibly this fix released in v.1.12.6 that I don’t have yet fixes it: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/issues/15; Or my issue could be different/similar/related.

I’ll update to the latest and try it again later when I have time.

If it helps:

@Angga-Setia-Budi ,

Mind you, your question doesn’t really apply to this thread’s discussion, however to move you along, here’s the steps needed. Go to the menu bar Preferences->Style Configurator->Language: Global Styles and then Style: Default Style. You’ll then see the two color selectable boxes to the right in the Colour Style Section of the Dialog box. You can set the colors there for whatever you want for the non-focusing line colors, and then go down to Style: Current line background and again, look to the right to see the color selection boxes to choose the colors from there. Now mind you, if it’s a predefined language you’re using, that will change the colors for all the language.

if we want to know…how many characters…the longest line of a file, simply use…the mathematical bissection/dichotomy method

Well…that’s a whole lot of trial and error work. How about a little Pythonscript?:

longest_line_length = 0 shortest_line_length = None def fel(line_contents, line_number, total_lines): global longest_line_length, shortest_line_length line_contents = line_contents.rstrip() # remove line-ending llc = len(line_contents) if llc > longest_line_length: longest_line_length = llc if shortest_line_length == None: shortest_line_length = llc if llc < shortest_line_length: shortest_line_length = llc editor.forEachLine(fel) notepad.messageBox('The longest line in the current file is {}; the shortest is {}.'.format(longest_line_length, shortest_line_length), 'INFO')

When run it pops up a box with the results, for example:

@Scott-Sumner - Noted. Thanks.

@JNylson
Hi!
I’m no sure if you’re right.

We have already 4 ‘Styler’ strings in that block, but neither id is 21127. We have these 4 below:
<Folder title=“Folder && Default”>
<Item id=“21102” name=“Styler”/>
<Item id=“21227” name=“Styler”/>
<Item id=“21327” name=“Styler”/>
<Item id=“21427” name=“Styler”/>

I don’t see any untranslated item in master english.xml which needs additionally.

@donho

Sorry, I was wrong. I have tested with the wrong debug binary which hadn’t contained your last ShellExecute patch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Alan-Kilborn yep :) well, thanks for your help!

I cannot delete the topic. Only admn can do that…

@Alan-Kilborn said in Two suggestions:

If you are looking for enhancement requests [ probably not! :-) ], maybe if the color settings could be presented in the Settings box, something like this:

Truly not necessary, but if you want to play next time you are in the code! :-)

If you want to try it out - see the latest development - no compiled release, you’ll need to do that yourself.

Also added:

click in ChangedLines margin goes to next change / Shift+Click goes to previous Colorized buttons for change and save colors in Settings dialogue Auto populate / update of ChangedLines panel for current file

Cheers.
