@Harry-Brookes said: “It can’t be done” - It doesn’t sit right with me He didn’t say that. Two years ago, he said “the devil is in the details”, which means it’s a pain to get it right, not that it can’t be done. I won’t accept from anyone here that there isn’t a way to make plugins etc capable of utilising multithreaded ops. Again, putting words into people’s mouths vs what they actually said, two years ago. I cannot find any claim above that plugins couldn’t do multithreading. And, in fact, in that intervening two years, @coises has created the Search++ plugin, which is trying, among other things, to add multiple threads (at least for Find In Files). You might want to try that plugin, and see if the FiF performance is better for you there… That discussion is still active, so if you have specific feedback, that would be a good place for it.

@Sam-Fourie , It’s been suggested before, as in issue #17430. The developer stated explicitly: It’s not my intesion to “lock” the document by using “Pin a document”. It’s just a way to make the documents grouped in front so users find them more easily. Checked with MS VC Studio, their behaviour is the same as Notepad++, and I think it’s the right behaviour. It works the way the developer wants, and he has rejected the suggestion to make it work the way you want. update: I’m not saying it’s not a good idea. Just that the developer (who is the final decision maker) is the one you’d need to convince. And, given that he’s already rejected the idea, you’d have to come up with something more than “I really want it” to convince him otherwise (and it would have to be posted in the issues tracker, presumably as a reply to the issue I linked, not in the user Community).

@Troglo37 said: Another issue I’ve been dealing with is letters with accents. Many times I’ve searched for a name and couldn’t find it. Later on, I realized that it was because the name had an accent. So, I’ve had to painstakingly go through some of the names I have typed in and change the letters. I want to be able to copy and paste names without worrying about accents, and preferably have the correct spelling of the person’s name if they have accents. It has been requested before. At present there is a way, but not a convenient way. To search for a name like René you can use the following form as a regular expression: [[=r=]][[=e=]][[=n=]][[=e=]] Yes, it’s a pain in the butt. Maybe someday someone will make a simple switch for it. (Note to self: my still-in-progress Search++ plugin should have that as an option for plain text searches.)

Seems they decided that it they couldn’t be the heroes, rhat they would be the villains.
