@rednoise0 , I just ran an easy quick experiment: I had a random executable which had never been pinned, never been used for Open With or as the file extension handler (and doesn’t do anything special when used to “open” a file, through blah.exe path\to\file.txt; the source code of that executable is tiny, and does not do any registration of Jump Lists or anything; it is a dead-simple program that has nothing to do with file access). I then dragged it to the taskbar to pin it. Then I right-click on file.txt and did Open With, browsed to the exe that I pinned, and chose “just once”. After doing that, I right-clicked on the pin, and file.txt was in its jumplist. It has nothing to do with “registering” it with the OS. It has nothing to do with whether it’s been there a long time or not. Further, I had a Win10 virtual machine, which had never had a Notepad++ jumplist before. I made sure Notepad++ was pinned, confirmed there was no list; then right clicked on a textfile, chose Open With and browsed to notepad++.exe (64bit), it opened the file with Notepad++, then when I looked at the jumplist, the textfile was listed.

@pellelin , Your vague descriptions of text don’t make it clear to me what your text is actually like. Could you use the ``` notation (from the </> button on the post toolbar) to put some example text? Like ``` [ A ] blah blah blah filename blah blah [ B ] blah blah blah notsamefile blah blah [ WD-40 ] is good for cleaning hardware ``` which will render like [ A ] blah blah blah filename blah blah [ B ] blah blah blah notsamefile blah blah [ WD-40 ] is good for cleaning hardware In the mean time, assuming you wanted to highlight the entire line that includes specific filename, it could be done with: FIND = (?-s)^.*filename.*$ SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression If you actually only want to highlight part of each line, you’re going to have to give example text that reasonably matches your actual data, and then do a screenshot showing which you’d like to highlight given a specific search example.

@jabcreations said: The only “people” using 800x600 these days are bots. That’s an absurd exaggeration. Whether or not there’s anyone on 800x600, there are plenty of people still using 1920x1080 monitors. (In case you don’t believe me, per April 2026 Steam HW/SW survey, more than 50% of Steam users are running at 1920x1080. So it’s still reasonable behavior for more than half of users – and that’s skewed toward gamers, who are more likely to have “fancy” tech; I am confident that in general, even higher percentage is still using 1920x1080.) Did I miss something or does this need to be a feature request? Could it be improved for 4K users? Likely (I’ve never used a 4K monitor, so I have no experience). There’s a long-open set of 4K issues in the official tracker, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this were already one of the open issues remaining… You might want to search the 4K issues in the repo to see if it already exists. But in the meantime, what’s your OS display scaling set to. Normally, with 4K, it’s somewhere in the 150% to 200%, IIRC from other posts. But if you’re at 100%, then of course GUI elements will be tiny.

@PeterJones said: That’s the problem: I couldn’t find any perl-based ones myself; As for Perl, there’s this project The README file actually states that it doesn’t work on Windows, because there are issues with asynchronous reading from stdin/stout. Hmm… The question is, couldn’t we switch to TCP instead? The transport layer usually only handles reading and writing, and if you abstract that, the rest is already taken care of for LSP and DAP. Though I’ll still pull out the plugin for when I want to single-step through Python… Now if it worked with PythonScript, so I could single-step while debugging N++ automation, I’d have it always enabled… So, if you have any ideas on that, I’m all ears. :-) I haven’t really looked into how debugpy works under the hood yet, but I would guess that you’d have to proceed something like this. NppDebugger launches a second instance of Npp with the desired file. In PythonScripts’ startup.py, debugpy must be loaded and the DAP server started. NppDebugger connects to it and requests that the relevant script be launched. I’ll try this out over the course of the next week.
