@decrepit-old-geekoid said: Notepad++ v6.9.2 Build time : May 18 2016 - 00:34:05 Wow! That’s ancient. You do know that there’s been a decade of improvements to the software since then? Including a lot of security fixes? I use the date and time short format from the TextFX menu a lot. I would like to use a keyboard macro to run it, but I’m running into problems. It’s been a long time since I’ve used that version, but in modern Notepad++, you cannot macro-record plugin commands. We have a FAQ: Automating Notepad++, which has a section on how to “cheat” the macro system (manually edit the macro to include something like a plugin command), but I don’t know if the NppUISpy plugin works on a Notepad++ that old, so I don’t know if you can have the easy way to find out the command ID that gets assigned to the TextFX If you choose to update, and I recommend that you do, some notes: you could install the 64-bit version instead of the 32-bit version, which would allow editing bigger files there is no more “PluginManager”: that was abandoned somewhere around 2018 (v7.6) because the PluginManager started trying to show ads inside Notepad++, which was anathema to the Notpead++ owner. Since v7.6.3, Notepad++ has had a stable “Plugins Admin” tool built into Notepad++ NppTextFX doesn’t exist in its old form, since the original plugin’s author had long-abandoned that plugin. But in modern Notepad++, someone has forked it to NppTextFX2 (currently, v2.0.3), which you can install from the Plugins Admin interface DSpell check and NppNetNote plugins are still around, so you can install those from Plugins Admin I don’t see docMonitor in Plugins Admin, so I’m not sure what that is. It may be that modern Notepad++ has the features you need built in (it’s got a “tail -f mode” and the “File Status Auto-detection” settings, but I don’t know if that covers everything you wanted from the docMonitor plugin)

@Thorin-Schmidt , That sounds similar to Issue #18093, where the seemingly-random unfolding was happening for a UDL instead of for Python. In that issue, it’s because of the presence of a I don’t know if it’s related or not. Can you share a small piece of code (maybe 3 blocks long) that shows the problem if that’s all you have in the file? For example, I cannot replicate your problem with def first(): more() return def more(): # commented pass def most(): first() more() return I will have to manually fold every. single. function Well, that’s the easy part. Alt+0 folds everything with one keystroke (the default keystroke for View > Fold All).

@Travis-Young , I cannot replicate your problem: [image: 1781542289284-yamlpaste.gif] When I paste that in, the YAML formats the comments correctly, as far as I can tell. Could you either give the original data, and where you paste it? And your ?-menu’s Debug Info?

@xomx thanks a bunch

@Emmanuel-PIERRE said: Hello today I see that in 8.9.6.4 on win11 the Ctrl is not working, though in all others app this is fine. I have very few plugins in it (mime tools, npp converter, npp exports) so I guess this is not where it comes from. Shortcuts are fine. any idea ? If you mean that the Ctrl key with a letter that isn’t a shortcut isn’t inserting the traditional control character, see Settings | Preferences… | Editing 2 | Prevent control character (C0 code) from typing into document and be sure it is not checked. If you mean that Ctrl+drag on a selection is not working as it does in most Windows programs, that is a known peculiarity which can be resolved in either of two ways: Press the mouse button down first, then the Ctrl key. or Uncheck Settings | Preferences… | Editing 2 | Enable Multi-Editing (Ctrl+Mouse click/selection). If neither of those is your problem, you’ll have to be more specific.

@PeterJones said: Columns++ plugin (though I don’t remember it having the header or full-column highlight, or just a gazillion other features which make column manipulation easier; the author @Coises can chime in at this point). There’s nothing in Columns++ for coloring text. The plugin is helpful if you want to do operations on data in visible columns (like right-justify the entries in a column, add the numbers in a column together, search/replace restricted to a column, do calculations to create a new column, sort on a column in situations that don’t work with Notepad++’s built-in sort) and/or to use elastic tab stops to make maintaining visible columns easier. It doesn’t do any coloring, though. Help is here if anyone wants to examine it to judge whether they might want to install Columns++.
