      @Arp-Rip said in How to copy and paste large line ?:

      I want to copy and paste from line 234566 to 6573242.

      Due to it is pretty large line, I can not push the mouse left key and pull.

      What kind of effective method that I can do this ?

      Ctrl+G then 234566 to go to first line, and place the caret wherever you want to start on that line Edit > Begin/End Select (or keyboard shortcut equivalent) Ctrl+G then 6573242 to go to final line, and place the caret wherever you want to end the selection on that line Edit > Begin/End Select (or keyboard shortcut equivalent) Everything between the Begin and End will be selected

      I think what is really needed, are 2 new keyboard shortcuts to:
      (a) move to/from 1st and last tab

      View > Tab > 1st Tab already has a default shortcut of Ctrl + Numpad1 View > Tab > Last Tab doesn’t have a default shortcut, but Shortcut Mapper can assign one quite easily (Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Main menu, Filter = last, click on Last Tab and Modify to set to whatever keyboard shortcut you would prefer) Notepad++ has hundreds of menu commands (a thousand? probably pretty close). They cannot all come with default keyboard shortcuts, and the user is expected and encouraged to customize the shortcuts to match their individual needs.

      (b) move to/from previously selected tab.

      If Settings > Preferences > MISC page’s Document Switcher section has both ☑ Enable and ☑ Enable MRU behavior turned on, that’s exactly what Ctrl+TAB does. If you don’t hold down the Ctrl, it just toggles between the current tab and the previously-used tab. And if you hold down the Ctrl, it allows you to navigate through in order from most recent (top of list) to least recent (bottom of list).

      So all three features you mentioned already exist, and 2 out of the 3 have default keyboard shortcuts already defined. So to get everything you want, you just have to use the Shortcut Mapper to assign a key to the Last Tab command (which might naturally go to Ctrl + Numpad0, to align with the the Ctrl + Numpad1 for the 1st Tab).

      @luk3Z ,

      You could share it in the centralized NppThemes Collection at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppThemes/ , which makes it easier for people to look through available themes (and with the CollectionInterface plugin being able to directly access that Collection, the plugin can simplify their installation process)

      @b-squared said in Can't install any plugin - hash mismatch:

      Hi,

      I get the following error when trying to install a plugin from the Plugin Admin tool. I’ve tried several including Compare, JSON Viewer, 3P, HEX-Editor, JSON Tools.

      Your Debug Info shows that you are using 64-bit Notepad++ version 8.8.8; Plugins Admin in that version should be offering Preview HTML 1.3.3.3. From your screenshot, it looks like it’s trying to load a 32-bit plugin with version 1.3.2.0.

      I’m thinking that somehow your copy of the plugins list is not getting updated properly. Just to be sure… is this a regular installed version or a portable version, and exactly where are you getting the download?

      Any way to install plugins manually, or will I just run into the same issue?

      You can install plugins manually and there isn’t a hash check when you do that. Before we go that way, though, we need to figure out why your installation copy of the plugins list is messed up — I have to think it might not be the only thing that’s messed up.

      Plugin Manager - what happened with it, where did it go?

      The old Plugin Manager plugin hasn’t been compatible with Notepad++ in 7 years. In v7.6 (in 2018), it was replaced by the built-in Plugins Admin tool. Use that built-in tool, not the old, unmaintained, advertising-supported Plugin Manager.

      @Bruno-Guillemette said in NPP RSS Feed broken?:

      I’ve looked into this and we’re being blocked by them sometimes. They’d have to whitelist our IP range, which is: 8.29.198.0/24 and that would fix it.

      This Forum is a Community of Notepad++ users. If you want to contact the developer, you’d have to either create an issue in the main GitHub repo (which isn’t really where website errors belong, but sometimes people post them there) or email Don directly (his contact information is on the Notepad++ website). If you would like him to “whitelist” an IP range to be able to see the RSS feed, you’d have to contact him, not us.

      My guess is there isn’t any setting on the Notepad++ website itself which is directly blocking Feedly. My guess is that Feedly isn’t passing the CloudFlare captcha, so CloudFlare (which inserts itself between user requests and the underlying website) is the one that’s blocking Feedly, not any setting on the Notepad++ website. (And honestly, the fact that the employee in the email you quoted is not knowledgable enough to have tried accessing the RSS feed directly, and seeing that a CloudFlare are-you-a-human prompt comes up, makes me wonder about the quality of their support.) However, I seem to remember that Don was able to make it so that the updater-XML URL was “unblocked” for CloudFlare, so maybe he’d be able to do the same for the RSS URL… but I don’t know.

      @Doreen-Ammons

      It is possible. There are a few ways to do it, depending on your exact circumstances. Here is one way:

      Open a new, empty tab.

      If you don’t see line numbers at the left, go to Settings | Preferences… | Margins/Border/Edge and check Display in the Line Number box at the top right.

      Press and hold the Enter key until you have exactly 200 lines.

      Edit | Select All (or Ctrl+A).

      Open Edit | Column Editor….

      Select Number to Insert; set the Format to Dec. the numbers to 1, 1, 1 and Leading to None.

      Click OK. You should now see the numbers 1 to 200 in your file.

      The column editor will leave extraneous (for this purpose) blanks after the one and two digit numbers. Use Edit | Blank Operations | Trim Trailing Space to remove them.

      From your original source, copy the fixed part of the text; that is, everything from “goldplate” to “1.2.3.” including the point but not including the final 1.

      Go back to tab with the list of numbers from 1 to 200. Click at the very beginning of the list, at the left of the 1. Scroll to the bottom using the mouse (not the keyboard), hold down Shift and Alt, and click at the left of the 200. You should see a thin, blinking line running at the left of all your lines.

      Paste. You’ll see the text you copied added before each number.

      You can now Select All, copy, and paste this back into your original file.

      Move left scroll arrow to left side of tab bar?

      @jeffs555-s ,

      With more tabs than will fit on screen, most programs put the left scroll arrow on the left side of the tab bar and the right scroll arrow on the right side of the tab bar.

      I am not sure I’d agree with the word “most”.

      Microsoft’s new Windows 11 Notepad app (the one that handles multiple tabs) does. But Chrome just keeps shrinking the tab shape, and after a few dozen, I stopped trying to see if I ever got it to show scroll controls OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc (and my memory of Excel) put both the ◀ go-left and ▶ go-right and add-sheet buttons on the lower left Google Sheets webapp puts both the < and > on the lower right As far as I can tell, Visual Studio doesn’t give such buttons; instead, they just have the ▼ pulldown, similar to the one on Notepad++'s menu bar. Mozilla Thunderbird (email client), like Chrome, seems to just shrink the tabs; again, I could never get it to show scroll controls.

      So I tried a variety of apps, from different categories of tabbed-like interfaces, and only one of them puts the left-scroll on the left and the right-scroll on the right. In my quick experiment, “most” put them immediately next to each other, wherever they go. But really, it seems there’s no global consistency on such scroll controls. That’s not to say that there aren’t a gazillion other apps that do split them between left and right sides of the Tab Bar – just that it apparently depends on one’s set of applications that they use.

      I can understand wanting it as a feature, if it’s what you are used to. It isn’t currently an option in Notepad++ (though it could be requested, as described in our feature request FAQ); and, as far as I know, there aren’t any plugins that currently move the Tab-Bar-scroll-left button to the left side of the Tab Bar (and I don’t know who would win the war between a plugin and the main app as far as trying to position that button, so I don’t know if a plugin could enforce a different location for it)

      Updated linter++ to v1.0.2

      This has mostly been concerned with changes to the dockable window with the results:

      You can click on a column header to sort by that column You can drag the column headers to reorder the columns You can configure the font used for display

      There’ve also been a few other minor improvements/fixes - see the Changes.md file

      Downloadable from https://github.com/ThosRTanner/notepad-pp-linter/releases if you can’t wait for the plugin list to be updated.

      Hello, All,

      Like most of you still using Windows 10, I decided to migrate to Windows 11, at the end of october, because my computer was compatible ( BIOS with UEFI boot, TPM module and DirectX 12 )

      I eagerly awaited the November 11, 2025 update, which should have brought us a new Start Menu, correcting some of the current limitations However, no such update occured, so far, on my laptop :-((

      Of course, I know that I could use the GitHub tool, named ViveTool.exe. After downloading and extracting the last release https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases/tag/v0.3.4, I would have run, in an Administrator Commmand Prompt window, the command vivetool /enable /id:47205210 to get the new Start Menu, after a complete restart. Moreover, this action seems safe as we can revert back to our present Start Menu with the command vivetool /reset /id:47205210

      Ultimately, I prefer to wait for the usual Windows 11 staged roll-out to work in my favor !

      But, if you’re interested to test it, read, first, this recent article

      In this other article

      it is also said :

      ViVeTool is an open-source tool to unlock hidden features in Windows. It directly interacts with Windows Feature Management, which is the A/B testing system Microsoft uses. ViVeTool calls the official APIs and doesn’t hack or modify Windows files, so it’s mostly safe to use as long as you use it with correct variables.

      So, in the meanwhile, I tried to get used to the main aspects of Windows 11, which doesn’t change, fundamentally, my workflow ! Among other things, I updated my Win 10 list of shortcuts related to the Windows key and, little by little, I included, in that list, a lot of other shortcuts related to main applications of the Microsoft world.

      Here is the outline of this list, related to Windows 11 shortcuts :

      Shortcuts about the Windows and Office keys Shortcuts about Desktops and Taskbar Shortcuts about Text editing and Dialog boxes Shortcuts about Accessibility and the Magnifier feature Shortcuts about main applications (File Explorer, Terminal and DOS prompts, Microsoft Edge) Shortcuts about various applications (Google Maps, Settings, Xbox Game, Calculator, Sticky Notes) Shortcuts about audio / video applications (Movies & TV, Media Player, Photos, Sound Recorder) Shortcuts about drawing applications (Paint, Paint 3D) Shortcuts about basic text editors (Wordpad, Notepad)

      You can get this list, named W11_Shortcuts.txt, from my Drive account :

      https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wt03527NLrg-bNfKFK1x_0QqdxnSB4PU/view?usp=sharing

      Notes :

      These shortcuts are those used with a standard American / English keyboard. As I’m French, I noted some variations with my French keyboard ! Thus, for any other language, some shortcuts may be different and not very easy to find out !

      Google Chrome’s shortcuts are not described in this list as I simply use the native Edge browser of Microsoft

      Moreover, all Microsoft 365 applications are not listed, so far !

      IMPORTANT :

      Some Microsoft UWP applications (Media Player, Paint, Paint 3D, Sound Recorder, Wordpad, Notepad) have additionnal shortcuts based on the Alt key, and generally tied to each user language. To show all of them, open these applications and simply hit the Alt key. You may, also, open any menu and hit the Alt key to get some new Alt available shortcuts. As they generally depend on each user language, these specific shortcuts are mostly not included in this list !

      Now, all these shortcuts consist of one or more keys from the list below :

      The Windows key, on the left side of the main keyboard

      The Office key, on the right side of the main keyboard

      One of the two Control keys, on both sides of the main keyboard : Ctrl

      One of the two Shift keys, on both sides of the main keyboard : Shift

      The Alternate key , on the left side of the main keyboard : Alt

      The Letter keys : Any upper-case letter, for example C

      The Symbol keys : Any symbol surrounded with parentheses, for example (+)

      Remarks :

      Some shortcuts are specific to the main keyboard => indication (Main)

      Some shortcuts are specific to the numeric keypad => indication (Numpad)

      Of course, if any shortcut have been left out of this list, please, let me know ! On the other hand, feel free to ask me about shortcuts that seem still unclear to you !

      I personally did not understand 9 shortcuts, which are identified, in this list, with the ??? mark, right after the shortcut !

      Best Regards,

      guy038

      P.S. :

      Do not forget to only reply within this off-topic thread !

      Talking about “the game of the summer,” it’s always interesting to see how different communities interpret “fun” — for some that’s about building an in‑game world, for others it’s just kicking back and enjoying downtime.
