    @Claudia-Svenson If this is something you do many times, you can record it as a macro. Start with the text selected Press Macro|Start Recording Do the sequence up to after the paste ( Coises’ steps 2-5 ) Press Macro|Stop Recording Press Macro|Save Current Recorded Macro From this point you can just select the text and press the macro either from the macro menu or from your shortcut. Edit: After some testing, it seems the encoding change does not get saved in the macro as I expected, maybe there is some other way to change encoding to make the action saved in the macro.

    Hi, @dougk.az, @peterjones and All, Oh, yes, Peter, you’re perfectly right ! But I must be a little tired from this heat wave. Since June 22, in the room where my desk is, even with a fan, the temperature has usually been between 29 °C and 30.5 °C. It’s awful ! BR guy038 Oh ! Now, I also realized that @dougk.az never spoke about the form feed ( FF ) characters, of code \x0C but spoke about the line feed ( LF ) chars, of code \x0A As I said above : really tired by heat !!!

    @Sylvester-Bullitt , Release Candidate is available. You probably want to test this version, and report any continued problems with the Open File feature ASAP.

    @Howard-Brown @peterjones has given you the necessary information to get back the default DarkMode settings, so you should learn from this issue and do what I did, and make your own DarkMode settings by copying that file, and giving it a different name. I called mine MyDarkModeDefault to avoid the confusion, and played with it to my hearts content. Doing this trick, even with your new default version, you can make another copy and continue to fine tune what you need to, without damaging the default, or your own new default versions. Call it MyExperimentalDarkMode, and have fun without worrying. As @peterjones and many of us around here always say, “back up what you don’t want to lose or recreate” - though that is paraphrasing. :-)

    @donho In my environment the fix for truncated OVR indicator on Status bar (25.) still has a little bit to less space reserved; it is still truncated. Changing the screen resolution changes the behaviour: with smaller resolution the text is displayed completely, but not with higher resolution: Resolution 1920x1200, scaling 150% [image: 1783367320620-0fe38c6a-5798-4343-8797-31015b51efd4-image.jpeg] [image: 1783367327490-bf1e0504-f2da-4951-bcb5-c70658919a01-image.jpeg] Resolution 1440x900, scaling 100% [image: 1783367292449-d61946e9-432e-4f8e-b00a-5d86e4e8d75b-image.jpeg] [image: 1783367300756-11461042-c586-4dce-9532-ecf7cdc554b8-image.jpeg] Debug Info: Notepad++ v8.9.7 (64-bit) Build time: Jul 6 2026 - 17:51:01 Scintilla/Lexilla included: 5.6.3/5.5.0 Boost Regex included: 1_90 pugixml included: 1.16 nlohmann JSON included: 3.12.0 Path: C:\Users\Public\LocalApp\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Command Line: Admin mode: OFF Local Conf mode: OFF Cloud Config: OFF WinGUp: absent disableNppAutoUpdate.xml: present Periodic Backup: OFF Placeholders: OFF Scintilla Rendering Mode: SC_TECHNOLOGY_DEFAULT (0) Multi-instance Mode: monoInst asNotepad: OFF File Status Auto-Detection: cdEnabledNew (for current file/tab only) Dark Mode: OFF Display Info: primary monitor: 1920x1200, scaling 150% -> OVR still a little bit truncated primary monitor: 1440x900, scaling 100% -> OVR displayed completely visible monitors count: 1 installed Display Class adapters: 0000: Description - Intel® Graphics 0000: DriverVersion - 32.0.101.8724 OS Name: Windows 11 Pro (64-bit) OS Version: 25H2 OS Build: 26200.8655 Current ANSI codepage: 1252 Plugins: ComparePlugin (2.0.2) DSpellCheck (1.5) JSMinNPP (25.11.16) MarkdownViewerPlusPlus (0.8.2) mimeTools (3.1) NppConverter (4.7) NppExport (0.4) NPPJSONViewer (2.1.1) PoorMansTSqlFormatterNppPlugin (1.6.13.31508) XMLTools (3.1.1.13)

    @blueicehaller , Plugin commands, like Plugins > MIME Tools > URL Encode cannot be recorded in a macro. However, we have a sub-FAQ: “Using Plugin, Run-menu and Macro Commands in Macros” which explains how you can manually edit a recorded macro to include such a command (noting that caveat that if you add or remove plugins, you might have to update your macro to refer to the new menuCmdID for the plugin command).

    Search++ version 0.6 is available. The big change in this version is the addition of a Search in Files dialog: [image: 1783211949656-7beeed4c-7d6c-4c3e-8b34-84e9473c4215-image.jpeg] There have been a few small fixes elsewhere — by now I’ve forgotten what they were — but mostly this release is for Find in Files. Adding that led to quite a few changes in code it shares with the existing functions, so unfortunately there could be new bugs in old functions. On the whole, though, handling of the search results list should be improved for all functions that use it. If you don’t like to read help, at least don’t forget to try right-clicking the text entry boxes and items in the file list. Replace in Files is planned but not yet implemented.

    @Mario-Lemelin , everything work fine except for the equations in latex Not all Markdown processors understand LaTeX. (For example, the Markdown processor for this forum does not.) It appears that MarkdownViewer++ does not have that feature (which doesn’t surprise me). I visited this site (https://github.com/npp-plugins/plugintemplate) but was unablew to find help. That site is just the repository for the C++ template for creating a plugin. It’s not going to have information on how to use any specific plugin. The home for MarkdownViewer++ is https://github.com/nea/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus , so that’s where you’d have to go. But the author has recently set the repo to “read only”, indicating that they are unwilling to support that plugin any more. However, there are other Markdown plugins available from Plugins Admin. I’ve never used them, but two I see include NppMarkdownPanel @ https://github.com/mohzy83/NppMarkdownPanel AnotherMarkdown @ https://github.com/ezyuzin/NppAnotherMarkdown this appears to be a fork of NppMarkdownPanel with a different feature set. when I look at its README, it mentions the ability to use katex for math (I think it’s an option that you’d have to enable by editing a config file for the plugin; you’d want to experiment and read the documentation for that plugin to be sure) – and a quick look at the katex description implies to me that it’s essentially LaTeX compatible syntax. You can install either of those from the Plugins Admin interface. It may be that one of those will do what you need (my bet would be on the second as your best chance).

    @vvPeterJones I switched Settings>Preferences>Print from “No background color” to “Black on white” and the print is much better.

    Even if the shorter, similar string was after the longer string, the same Regular Expression (Regex) can be used to get the same result:- Input abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx abc Output abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx ABC Explanation: The abc.*xyz preceding the (SKIP)(*F) in the Regex helps skip the long string starting with abc and ending with xyz and matches the other abc in the shorter, similar string! By using that Regex (mentioned in my previous post, just above this), the abc after the (SKIP)(*F) is matched, found and replaced.
