@tm8544 said: There is a regression in Notepad++ 8.9.9. I saw it already in 8.9.8.1, but I could not pinpoint it at that time. “Regression” means a bug introduced in this version that wasn’t present in the previous version. So if you saw it in the previous version, then it’s not a regression, just a bug. Use Compare plugin, diff since last save (Ctrl+Alt+D) This sounds a lot like this report, which the plugin author is now looking into and tracking in that plugin’s issue tracker. Plugin authors are responsible for investigating bugs/crashes that are caused when using features of their plugins, as they are the only ones who can determine whether the problem is on their end or on Notepad++'s end; bugs/crashes in a plugin should be reported directly to the plugin author.

@PeterJones said: Your words said “Distraction Free Mode” without “Fullscreen”. “Fullscreen” is the aspect of DFM that covers the full screen. That is true, but to be fair I’ve also immediately clarified what I meant by “Fullscreen” in the first message : ) I’m assuming operates in Fullscreen mode, meaning it tries to always stay on top Not being a programmer, I can only talk about Fullscreen and Borderless by their observed effects in videogames. From videogame options, Fullscreen and Borderless both cover the entire screen, the only difference is Fullscreen behave as “Always On Top” (almost always), and Borderless doesn’t. Thank you for the Macro, it’s much less hassle than having to run that script manually every time, and I really appreciate it ^_^

@Sevens99 I guess that it depends on a specific SW (Windows edition, build, libraries, other installed shell context menu handlers) rather than on a different HW. But who knows. It’s a race condition bug, so everything is possible.

Hello, @coises, I confirm that, if I choose the GDI (most compatible) rendering mode instead of the DirectWrite (default), the spliting action seems to always occur after 78 letters P ! I verified this assumption with, both, the proportional Times New Roman font and the fixed width Consolas font BR guy038

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 !

@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.

Hi @guy038, your summary is right. By hard disks I meant the classic ones with spinning platters. SSDs get 4 threads, like your key. MultiReplace asks Windows whether a drive has a seek penalty, which only drives with moving read heads report. Those get 1 thread, CD/DVD drives too, and to be safe also USB disks that don’t answer that question. And thanks for checking the hit counts, good to see all three engines agree.

@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!

Rants like this are only allowed in the Boycott Notepad++ category, so I moved it from a reply in the General Discussion to its own topic here Do not reply to normal discussions with such rants.

hello, try to navigate: Search -> Bookmark -> Next bookmark <F2> tomas

@ThatsYar_ , Can you share your ?-menu’s Debug Info? Does the same problem occur if you turn off all plugins (using -noPlugin command line option)? Is it for all files that need admin? Or just in one directory? Or just the one file?
