@PeterJones ok man Thank you, the method worked.

@Sam-Fourie , It’s been suggested before, as in issue #17430. The developer stated explicitly: It’s not my intesion to “lock” the document by using “Pin a document”. It’s just a way to make the documents grouped in front so users find them more easily. Checked with MS VC Studio, their behaviour is the same as Notepad++, and I think it’s the right behaviour. It works the way the developer wants, and he has rejected the suggestion to make it work the way you want. update: I’m not saying it’s not a good idea. Just that the developer (who is the final decision maker) is the one you’d need to convince. And, given that he’s already rejected the idea, you’d have to come up with something more than “I really want it” to convince him otherwise (and it would have to be posted in the issues tracker, presumably as a reply to the issue I linked, not in the user Community).

User Manual has been updated: Renamed header to “shortcuts.xml Security” and includes mention of Macros as well: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#shortcutsxml-security added Macros Security on the macros page: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/macros/#macro-security added a paragraph linking to the “shortcuts.xml Security” page in the Running External Commands page: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/run-menu/#security-is-your-responsibility

@Passant-Delarue , Initial guess: turn off “. matches newline”, otherwise your .* will greedily match the whole file.

@Krzysztof-Blachnicki said: I deleted ExtSettings.ini (which was 0 byte) and… It works again. Maybe it’s n++ fault, but… For other plugins settings aren’t gone and when files are 0b they don’t cause glitchy behaviour. I’d bet it’s rather a problem with this particular plugin. If deleting the ExtSettings.ini caused the problem to go away, then I am confident it is the plugin, not Notepad++ itself, that is the culprit. The question is what now? Whom I can ask for reaction? Report the problem to @dinkumoil , the author of the plugin => https://sourceforge.net/projects/extsettings/support

1.2.2 Syntax highlighting PowerShell Improved absolute, relative, quoted and unquoted paths colors [image: 1785402977913-paths.png] Improved variables interpolation colors [image: 1785402952228-interpolation.png] [image: 1785402954396-interpolation4.png] Added colors for expressions $(..), ${..} Added registry hives colors (HKLM, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, …) Fixed syntax highlighting Fixed variables colors inside paths and quotes Fixed excessive colors of variables, keywords, and functions enclosed in quotes Fixed unexpected sc.. and vk.. colors in AutoHotkey code Disabled colors for variables inside single quotes ' ' (because single quotes prevents var. interpolation)

@BlackX777 , That was brought to the developer’s attention in the repo issues last week. Unfortunately, take-down requests can take time.

Corrupted Session Starting in Notepad++ v8.6.5, it will store session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak next to session.xml, and will automatically use that if session.xml is corrupted. However, if you ever find that you open Notepad++ (especially after an update or a system crash) and find that the files opened weren’t in the same state as when you let them, you can try this procedure: Exit Notepad++ Windows Explorer, go to %AppData%\Notepad++ (or in your appropriate config-file location if you aren’t using AppData for config) Rename session.xml to session.xml--keep Copy session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak to session.xml Run Notepad++ → If it’s now showing the right copy of your files, great! If not, exit Notepad++, delete session.xml, and rename session.xml--keep back to session.xml .

I found a plugin that solves this problem. https://github.com/numbereleven-a/NotepadPP_AltShiftMenuFix

@PeterJones said: @Kiichiro-Matsushita, welcome to the Notepad++ Community. You said: I tried tinkering with the Style Configurator, to no avail… You don’t tell us which theme you are starting with. You don’t tell us what you tried in the Style Configurator. One would think if you really wanted help, you would give us more to work with. That said, I will give the following advice: How do I change those? Using Style Configurator, after you’ve set your theme, you can choose the Global Styles in the first column, and choose the Current Line Background settings (second column) to change the “you are on this line” highlight; for “you have selected this text”, you need to edit the Selected Text Color (again, second column). Please note for these two settings, Style Configurator only pays attention to Background Color – the foreground color and bold/italic/underline settings are ignored. … Good luck. I had the same issue, this answer worked! Appreciate your time & input

@guy038 has given a good example here also: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/27611/is-there-a-way-to-find-both-alphabets-with-and-without-accents-at-the-same-time-when-searching

For anyone who wants to get rid of that annoying “This file has been modified… Do you want to reload it…” prompt/dialog box, do the following: Go to Settings Click Preferences Click MISC. Under “File Status Auto-Detection” click Disable from the drop-down menu Close
