@Ben-H Unfortunately, there is a further detection in the behaviour section: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7094a07167648628e47249a16d9d6db922e5aa1255ac4322a2e4900d233372dd/behavior
The sandbox Yomi Hunter flags this file as: MALWARE
In this case I have had a bad experience with this company, they classify almost everything as malware and never respond. VirusTotal should really require companies participating in VirusTotal to respond to requests for False positives.

@Ekopalypse
In terms of XBrackets behavior, the difference between typing and pasting is important.
When a user types ‘[’, XBrackets will autocomplete it with ‘]’.
When a user pastes “[”, XBrackets will not react.

Since this has come up twice in the last couple months, I have cleaned up the instructions and split them off into a dedicated “FAQ: Using the GCC version of Notpead++”

@PeterJones , I stand corrected. I do it so often now, that I should have slowed my roll and explained it like you did.

@PeterJones

I haven’t checked the Scintilla source code, but I’d be surprised if the code didn’t just ignore the alpha value.
A quick test seems to confirm this.

@Terry-R Thank You!

I’m not entirely sure how to vote on this because - if with the permission of the original author, I don’t think a new name would be required. However, any other option should have a new name

Thanks Peter. I was starting to wonder if I was running NP in an odd way that was preventing it from working correctly. 😊

@Coises said in Cannot change Encoding to correct encoding of UTF-8:

Open Settings | Preferences… | MISC. and look for Autodetect character encoding.

Thank you for your suggestion, this liitle “trick” with unchecking Autodetect fixed the issue for me

@neeraj10786:

While I don’t use it myself (and so can’t give detailed advice), it seems like the MultiReplace plugin by @Thomas-Knoefel would be easier to use than built-in methods. If this is a single-time problem, then the built-in methods others have given make sense; but if it is something you’ll need to do repeatedly, I’d check out that plugin.

@xomx, thank you very much. When I selected another font (Ebrima), the problem was resolved.

@Thomas-Knoefel ,

Well, that got me farther. With some keystrokes, like a normal letter, or a key-combo that’s not assigned to anything in Notepad++ (like Shift+Ctrl+C), it will call that subclass function and see the uMsg==WM_CHAR. But Ctrl+C doesn’t trigger it; and if I try a shortcut that does something obviousl in N++, like Alt+C (for the Column Editor).

But that reminded me of the recent conversation about shortcut mappings, and so I tried sending the appropriate NPPM_MODELESSDIALOG arguments during my plugin’s init & destroy, and now it can capture Ctrl+C (or any other shortcut).

Thank you

@Ekopalypse said in Keyboard shortcuts from external apps not working:

@Bernard-Danino

Right, that’s strange.
I use Deepl, there is also the shortcut ctrl+c+c and as you can see in this screenshot, it works.

Understood. I passed it on to Reverso. Maybe they have an explanation, although the ticket I opened over there didn’t yield anything. Maybe this new info will get them going.
Thanks

@Dave-Lang
I’m not familiar with your problem but your issue did make me recall a previous post here.

It might have occured as you just updated the version of Notepad++ from a very much older one, or possibly changed to a different font.

Anyways, read that post and maybe you might find the answer.

@Lycan-Thrope said in Config Files Need Updating, Too:

became enabled only after selecting and double clicking the error

I should probably add a single-click handler to enable that button, too. (Without any selection, it wouldn’t know where in the file to go to, so I will probably leave it disabled with no selection)

It’s open source. Look here:

https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppShell

MultiReplace now also supports Replace in Files. This is another step toward a powerful feature when combined with the list entries. This feature supports all variables used in Use Variables, like FNAME and FPATH, as well as the CSV Scope option, so it is fully integrated.

This is a Release Candidate available for testing – if it works for you, feel free to leave a like. If you run into any issues, please report them here.

Download the ZIP file matching your system. Copy its contents into C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\MultiReplace. Done!

Happy replacing!
