      I also vote for Method 3. Method 2 has too much text changing from use to use. For me, the only advantage to Method 1 is being a bit easier to automate with AutoHotkey.

      @minneyb-unix Maybe an antivirus or similar problem. Yesterday, I had some false-positives even while trying to download N++ GitHub artifacts. I checked these "notepad++.exe"s via VirusTotal and these were flagged (only by the MS own Defender engine). Now it’s ok, so I’d try again.

      @Jason-Wright said: @donho none of these are my issue; now remove the find in files feature. its a waste of time. The feature is not a waste of time. I have used that feature for more than a decade. It would be a waste of time to spend time to remove it (and be a huge annoyance to people to have relied on it for more than a decade). Now, if you mean, you don’t care about that feature, that’s fine. But why would you want it removed? If you mean, you are having difficulty using it, and would like help, then @donho pointed you to my post, which list a few debugging techniques which would help us help you. I will reiterate them: Try with all plugins disabled, to make sure it’s not a plugin issue share ?-menu’s Debug Info share your FIND WHAT (use ` before and after your search, like `my.*search` , so that the Forum doesn’t “eat” your search characters as post-formatting) share all the options in the Find in Files dialog (Filters, Directory, Search Mode, other checkboxes – a screenshot would be easiest) does your directory contain *.lnk to files or other directories? or windows junctions or symlinks or hardlinks? So if you’d like help with it, feel free to provide actual information. If you don’t want help, that’s fine. also why the !@$!#@$ does your website need a clout system??? The reputation system prevents spammers from flooding this forum with links to their ad farms. The minimum reputation to upvote or downvote will keep spammers from creating multple accounts to be able to upvote themselves, so that they can get around the posting limits for users with low reputation. [image of “You need 5 reputation to downvote”] Also, there is irony in someone complaining about a reputation system because they didn’t have enough reputation to use the reputation system to dowvote. this site sounds like it was designed by an @#$@#$#@$ tiktok kid oh my god Notepad++ moved to a NodeBB-based forum in 2015. TikTok was created in 2016. But don’t let facts get in the way of a good rant. why the @#$@@#$ isnt @$@#$@ funny site sounds like it was designed by an @#$#@$# tiktok kid There’s a whole section devoted to those who just want to whine and curse, and not actively discuss and/or seek help. If you actually want help, and meaningful discussion, feel free to reply here. If all you want to do is curse and whine, create a topic in that section, or go find something more productive to do with your time.

      Hello, @coises and All, Thank you very much, @coises, for your valuable advice ! As I already used a user definitions file, named Definitions.json5, containing the main examples from the documentation : Before starting N++, I simply included your modified implicit combining rules section to the definitions.json5 file, described below : { // A user definitions file is a JSONC file containing pairs of keys and values // listing what you type after the Compose key and what Compose types in response. // Each pair except the last must be followed by a comma. // Two forward slashes begin a comment: Compose for Notepad++ ignores // the slashes and everything after them on the same line. // You can use the standard escapes \n (new line), \r (return), \t (tab), // \" (quote within a quoted string) and \\ (backslash within a quoted string). // You can also use Unicode escapes, \u followed by four hexadecimal digits, // for example: "\u20ac" for "€", the Euro sign. Escape sequences for characters // outside the basic multilingual plane (code points 0x10000 or greater) // can only be entered as a UTF-16 surrogate pair. // You should save this file with a .jsonc extension. // Compose for Notepad++ reads the file each time you launch Notepad++, // so be sure to save it in a place where it won't be disturbed. "implicit combining rules" : { "'" : ["\u0301", "\u030B", true , "\u0317"], // acute accent | double | same as plain | acute accent below ")" : ["\u0306", false , true , "\u032E"], // breve | - | same as plain | breve below ">" : ["\u030C", false , true , "\u032C"], // caron/hacek | - | same as plain | caron/hacek below "," : ["\u0327", false , "\u0313", "\u0326"], // cedilla | - | comma above | comma below "ç" : ["\u0302", false , true , "\u032D"], // circumflex | - | same as plain | circumflex below "\"": ["\u0308", false , true , "\u0324"], // diaeresis | - | same as plain | diaeresis below "." : ["\u0307", false , true , "\u0323"], // dot above | - | same as plain | dot below "è" : ["\u0300", "\u030F", true , "\u0316"], // grave accent | double | same as plain | grave accent below "?" : ["\u0309", false , true , false ], // hook above | - | same as plain | - "+" : ["\u031B", false , true , false ], // horn | - | same as plain | - "-" : ["\u0304", false , true , "\u0331"], // macron | - | same as plain | macron below ";" : ["\u0328", false , "\u1DCE", true ], // ogonek | - | ogonnek above | same as plain "*" : ["\u030A", false , true , "\u0325"], // ring above | - | same as plain | ring below "é" : ["\u0303", false , true , "\u0330"], // tilde | - | same as plain | tilde below "_" : ["\u0332", "\u0333", "\u0305", true ] // underline | double | overline | same as plain }, "CC" : "\u2102", // double-struck capital C "rx" : "℞", // prescription symbol "dia" : "💎", // diamond symbol "br" : "Best Regards,\r\n\r\nguy038\r\n" // End of Post } Then, I started N++. To be sure that this json file was correct : I ran the Plugins > Compose > User definitions file... option. I clicked on the Select button. => No error occured ;-) And, indeed, no need to use the |Alt Gr] key and the [SP] key anymore, within the implicit combining rules section, on my French keyboard ! So, I also updated the main_Compose.txt file, in my Google drive account, which can be downloaded from the same address as before. Best Regards, guy038

      Okay, thanks for letting me know. Eventually, I hope they add an auto-backup feature.

      @PeterJones said: [IANAL, and I don’t know the legal term for a non-registered trademark] An unregistered trademark, sometimes informally called a common law trademark, is an enforceable mark created by a business or individual to signify or distinguish a product or service. –For future reference. The stronger case needs to be made as you mention to differentiate what could be called a trademark name versus a generically descriptive name. Such as the difference between Borax as a chemical and Borax as a trademarked product name. I am not a lawyer [IANAL], either, but I have done legal research from time to time, on these types of subjects as well, in the past.

      Cannot make Move / Clone other view windows have the same font size

      @gromittoo , I have never seen that happen. The only way I know of for the two Views to appear to have different font sizes is if there is a zoom difference. I know you said you returned to default zoom, but the two Views don’t sync zoom in modern Notepad++, so you have to return to default zoom for each View separately. (Click one view, reset its zoom; click other view, reset its zoom) If your views are top/bottom, rather than left/right, they aren’t guaranteed to have the same number of rows, so right click on the divider between, and Rotate Left to get back to side-by-side views, which always have the same vertical space. Alternatively, if the font sizes are actually visibly the same, by a given line takes up more vertical space because of line wrap, you can drag the separation bar left/right to balance the width, or turn off line wrapping. I want to compare two files, side by side. My searches led me to use the View -> Move/Clone Current Document -> Clone to other view… That advice showed two copies of the same file, and doesn’t compare two separate files. You can move (not clone) the second file into the other view, if you really want two different files side-by-side. And if you’re really comparing two files, the ComparePlus plugin is your friend. (It can be installed using Plugins > Plugins Admin)

      Here are the latest binaries of SmartMath. This is a fully-working unofficial build that is going to be added to the official git repository… unless more improvements are suggested :) What’s new: the archive structure corresponds to the expectations of the Plugins Admin; the plugin searches for its documentation file near the SmartMath.dll, as well as in the “plugins\doc” folder; the plugin shows a warning when it does not find its syntax files in the expected locations under the “userDefineLangs” and “autoCompletion” folders of Notepad++. 64-bit version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pTS_cBdU_Q0vkG03cubqWZ9TDdYiSsXW/view?usp=drive_link 32-bit version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qsI5Hsx4XmyRlhVeGsplAoTX391WEnOv/view?usp=drive_link

      Feature request created: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/18429 Put the several possibilities given my lack of knowing how the backend works and the feedback I’d gotten on this thread of possible feasibilities. I do stuff on both a Work computer using IT’s selected version of Notepad++ as well as home use, so even if I could get AutoIt working on my personal computer, I probably can’t get it running on my Work computer (permissions) I’ll try to train myself to alt+d

      @rdipardo , I got a statement of sorts in regard to this request, specifically, this comment: Using AI to create a PR for an open source project - is it a good thing or a bad thing? I have no judgement on that. For me, the only criterion that matters is whether the merged code will be maintainable in the future. On this point, I have to say that AI-generated PRs (I can usually tell during code review), often do not meet the critera in their current state - but many human devs don’t either.
