Hello, All,

Just a point of clarification : if you download the 3 parts of this list and want to test some other sorts , remember to add a space char in front of any code-point coded with 4 hexadecimal digits !

Indeed, for a correct empty rectangular selection, the characters must be aligned, like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

and NOT like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

If you forget to do so, you may see the message : Sorting multiple selections is not supported !

Best Regards,

@Palittle-Studios,

Not A Bad Idea But With Like Step-By-Step Tutorials, It Will Be GOOD.
You Could Mention Libraries Too

The FAQ is sufficient for anyone who already knows how to compile their code; once they know that, they can just put those compilation commands into the examples given. That’s as “step-by-step” as anyone who knows how to code needs. Libraries are done inside Notepad++ the same way they are when typing C/C++ code in any text editor; and passing libraries to the linker is done in Notepad++ the same way it is with any command-line compiling. All Notepad++ (and the Run menu or NppExec plugin or whatever you choose from the FAQ) are doing is helping you to “memorize” those command line calls, so that you don’t have to type them completely every time you compile.

If you need help learning C/C++, or learning how to compile and link C/C++ from the command line, there are about a gazillion webpages that already exist that explain how to do that – a forum focused on Notepad++ text editor is not the best place to look for details on the elementary learning of coding. Once you learn and understand coding in general, and compling-and-linking from the command line, then doing that from within Notepad++, using the information in the FAQ, is a piece of cake.

If anyone else is interested in an AHK script that works, it’s simple enough:

#HotIf WinActive("Notepad++") XButton1::XButton2 XButton2::XButton1 #HotIf

@C-Bacca said in How do I sort strings separated by commas?:

is there a way to make this a series of steps, like a macro,

Yes, you should be able to record it and save it as a macro.
Note that Step 1 would not be part of the macro, but would be something that you have to do before running the macro.
For more on macros see HERE.

I was feeling deja vu as I was reading this blog, and the feeling was not misplaced.

@xomx @PeterJones
Thank you for your assistance. I am currently using 2 monitors, both are the same model, I believe capable of 2560x1440. My second monitor is set in portrait mode. On the 2nd monitor most of the after image/moving seems to remain on screen when the after image moves higher than the first screen. (I am assuming about 1440 pixels from the bottom of the screen)

Prior to updating to 24h2, I had an update of 23h2 about a week ago, and did not notice any unusual behavior with the undocked search results. I honestly don’t remember if before the 24h2 update, if when I attempted to drag the undocked search results if the window moved or if I just had an outline that would show me when the window would be.

For clarification, the Search Result window is not missing. And prior to messaging here, I had deleted my config files. As well as removing and installing the latest version of Notepad++.

Please let me know if any more information would be of assistance.

@Alan-Kilborn
thankyou for the advice

@PeterJones said in Linux desktop version of notepad-plus-plus native. (crossplatform):

Besides, with Wine on Linux, I have heard that, except for edge cases, some people can have a reasonably-good Notepad++ experience on Linux.

This is very true, as one of the users of dBASE who specifically requested and encouraged me to work on the UDL for dBASE in Notepad++ is because at the time, his eyes were really bad, and the native IDE editor was not very customizable. He has adapted the dBASE Plus UDL I made so it works with dBASE 5.0 DOS/Windows via a WINE emulator on his servers…where he runs virtual machines for all dBASE versions. Because I was able to make that UDL, he was able to be productive again while getting help with his eyes and is doing much better now, but the point is…Notepad++ works just fine on Linux and Wine. I believe he uses Ubuntu for it, and as @PeterJones has said, only edge cases cause a problem for him, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you running it that way.

@PeterJones Thanks for that information, I’ll definitely turn on that setting. As far as searching goes, I hadn’t thought of using the term “backup.”

@PeterJones Ok, Reduce was checked. So I’m stuck with this.

It would be nice to control the font size and font name for the tab bar text.

Thanks!

Consider this closed.

@inkognito said in Remove "duplicate" lines based on only a specific part of the line:

How can I apply it to the text file without opening it in Notepad++?
Are there any corresponding options over the command line?

Two very leading but somewhat loosely defined questions.

Find in Files allows you to select a number of files based on filters, such as folders (and hidden & sub-folders), file type, partial filename. So the files are edited by Notepad++ (NPP) but don’t show in the NPP view(s). You could say they aren’t opened by NPP if you mean “do I see them in the NPP view”.

I am aware that there is the ability to have an “auto start” functionality upon loading NPP. The information is in the FAQ section here. So it uses the PythonScript plugin along with an “auto-start” script file called “startup.py”. Upon NPP loading it immediately starts processing the commands in this script file.

There is another PlugIn called NppExec and a post late last year suggested it might have a method on autostarting once NPP is loaded, see post #26006. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot else I have seen on NppExec, it doesn’t tend to get much exposure.

If you are referring to editing these files without NPP itself loading, then that is a whole other question which resides outside of this forum. Other command line editors such as AWK, SED, GREP etc might offer you that functionality but as I say that is not for this forum to answer. You would need to visit forums based on which ever editor you wish to use. The regular expression I provided might work as is in another editor, but likely would require some massaging to perform correctly.

Thank you

@donho said in As time goes by... if you've been around long enough to notice...:

It’s not me who created this account for Notepad++. Or more accurately, it’s not Notepad++ official reddit account. Personally, I have even no account on reddit?

As far as I know, anyone can create a sub-reddit if the name isn’t already taken. There’s no endorsement implied unless there’s an explicit indication to that effect. (There is not for this one.) This was created in 2013, but the two current moderators joined in 2022 and 2023, which means the original creator is no longer involved.

It doesn’t get much traffic — about one post every two days. I only stumbled across it a couple of months ago. (I’ve been on Reddit over ten years.) If I ever see a problem that’s truly interesting, I’ll send them over here… hasn’t happened yet.

@Lycan-Thrope

Not your fault. Whoever made the shirt thinks they’re typing on an SMS messaging app. :)

Thank you for finding the excuse for me! :)

@PeterJones I have also requested it there at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9517

@Anderson-Silva ,

Nope. I haven’t used a notepad-style app on Android in years (and the one that I used to use now gets horrible reviews, so I won’t be naming/recommending it, in case it’s as bad as they say).

Somebody might be able to get you a quick recommendation if they have one, but this isn’t really the best place for discussing the pros and cons of specific Android apps: searching the internet for “best android notepad app” and then visiting reputable app-review sites to find reasonable (non-SEO) results is probably your best bet.

Hi everyone,

@andrea-tomassi’s PR was really helpful, and it was accepted of course, moreover this gave the project a great shake-up! Of course, the update has also been added to the nppPluginList repository and was recently accepted.

If someone doesn’t want to wait, manual installation is available as usual with the v0.5 release (unzip the appropriate ZIP file to the plugins/NppOpenAI folder):
https://github.com/Krazal/nppopenai/releases/tag/v0.5.0

The last few months have been very stressful for me (there was a nationwide update in the Hungarian .HU domain name registry, which also affected our developments too), but now things are starting to calm down and I hope to have more time for the plugin. ✨

Once again, thank you to those of you who are trying out the plugin, and I am very grateful for all the contributions!
