Hi, @coises and All, You said : Since all you need to do to cancel a selection is to click anywhere in the document, I didn’t figure anything more would be needed. I agree with you that’s not a big task ! I just wanted to point out, that if you want to keep focus on the Search++ dialog, in order to use any other Alt + ... command, I do not see any command which could cancel the selection ! Now, regarding the five shortcuts problem, you’re totally right : my FRENCH keyboard is a standard one and in order to get, for example, the Alt + 1 action, I must use the combination Alt + Shift + 1 ! Now, I do not mind to stay with these Alt + Shift + 1-5 shortcuts ! But, if you find a way to detect the keys themselves, that would be fine too ! BR guy038 P.S. : Sorry for thinking you might have made a mistake when assigning those 5 shortcuts !

@Mark-Olson That’s really helpful, especially the point about a huge single-line file being slower than a much larger file with shorter lines. I hadn’t considered that line length could make such a big difference to Notepad++ performance. I’ll definitely take a look at the Large File Restriction setting and the HugeFiles plugin as well. Thanks for sharing all these details!

@Sevens99 said: I wonder if I’m the only one experiencing this issue. It’s a known problem of the modern NppShell, see the GitHub issue #15683 Most likely this is the culprit but I have no easy solution ready. Also no spare time to fix that (maybe during the end of year holidays), so your workaround (or similar) is what I currently recommend to do for the affected users (you don’t need to rename the NppShell.dll, unregistering that shell extension from within the admin-rights powered CMD by regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\contextMenu\NppShell.dll" will do it). What’s interesting - the problem manifests only on some PCs/configs (I, for one, have never encountered it).

@fml2 said: Out of interest: is it possible to configure Notepad++ in a way that the folder marks are also displayed at the last element of the structure? The document’s fold structure is determined by the underlying Scintilla editing component. Notepad++ simply visualizes the fold structure. While some alternative styles can be enabled at the application layer, what you’re requesting would require changes to Scintilla.
