I’m interested in having sticky tabs, ie, tabs that will stay on screen, regardless of how right or left you scroll in your tab bar. I could use multi-line tabs, but that takes up vertical space. This is kind of like freezing columns in Excel.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your great and swift answer

A new version of MultiReplace (v4.5.0.30) is ready and will be available with the next Notepad++ release. It can be dowloaded here.

The focus of this release is on expanding the search functionality and giving you more flexibility.

Implemented updates:

Find All: This is a new feature that lets you find all matches and see them in the search results window. It’s not limited to the current file – you can also search across all open documents or in entire folders.

GroupResults: To go with “Find All,” this new INI option lets you choose how your results are displayed. You can see them all mixed together in document order (the default), or neatly grouped by each list entry, which is great for getting a clear overview of complex searches.

lcmd: A new command for the “Use Variables” feature. It allows you to load your own custom helper functions from external files, which opens up a lot of possibilities for complex and reusable logic.

AllFromCursor: Another new INI setting that gives you more control. You can now choose to start “Find All”, “Replace All” and “Mark” operations from your current cursor position instead of from the top of the file.

Here is a visual take on the changes:

Note, in above, STR means “Steps To Reproduce”.

New try: Now it works, like you described it. Seems I set it up wrong!

Hi,

first of all, please hide/change your secret_key setting (or remove the image), as this is a public forum and others may misuse it. :(

Unfortunately, there may be bugs in the latest NppOpenAI v0.5 update (updates/fixes can be found on the NppOpenAI development project page), so I suggest that instead of setting a route_chat_completions, you should specify the URL “all at once”, e.g.

api_url=https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions

Edit: You can leave the route_chat_completions setting unchanged.

I apologise for the error!

Has anyone here found how to open those relative path links from within the Notepad++ file, in their default app ?

That would make the solutions listed here even more useful IMO; one could have for instance have the documentation of a project in simple text files.

Opening the links at either double-click (better, & underlined) or some other action.
I’ve requested the feature on github https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/16942

And keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to menu commands by choosing run > modify shortcut and switch to the Main Menu tab on the Shortcut Mapper.

It would be good to have the Open in Default Browser be located in either the View or Run Menus, but creating a shortcut works for me.

@xomx said in Unable to see Data in the Notepad++:

I’d like to ask the affected users here, for which switching the DirectWrite OFF helped - what OS, graphics card and version of its drivers are they using?

E.g. post: Windows 10, Nvidia GeForce xyz, 2/24/2023 30.0.14.7430

(you can find such info e.g. by WinKey+R, type there devmgmt.msc -> OK, and check the Display Adapters > doubleclick on an adapter > Driver tab)

Win 11, VMware SVGA 3D, 4/28/2023, 9.17.6.3
Win 11, Microsoft Remote Display Adapter, 6/21/2006 10.0.26100.4484

@PeterJones Thank you for explaining everything so well. I really appreciate it. All the best - Mark

Alright Thanks to all of you for the Instructions,

the Rendering Mode wasnt the Case, I Updated the Nvidia Driver and then Restarted the Laptop and Found out that My Windows did updated too through the Restart, So Weather it was the Windows update or the Nvidia Graphics Driver update,

THE ISSUE IS FIXED :)))

Thank You All ♥

@PeterJones ,
I have this love/hate thing when using auto correct systems (Android for example) versus autocompletion and it types a completely different word than I intended because fat fingers hit the wrong key on the mini screen keypad. :-(

@PeterJones ,
This is the hardest part of doing the UDL’s I think. Even after we’ve done the original dBASE UDL you helped with, I’m finding that doing the earlier versions now, and fine-tuning the keywords, operators and the nesting precedents was the most confusing and finer control over the language. Doing the earlier versions I’ve figured out how to keep an apostrophe, from screwing up my code highlighting, while still keeping it as a delimiter by simply NOT allowing it to be included in the other delimiters nesting options. In turn, dBASE also has a JSON object, and with a little fine tuning, I was able to make the delimiters in dBASE also work to outline a JSON structure, so far. If there are other options in a JSON structure I’ll have to learn that as I go, but for now, the simple W3C version showing it, it works right, as well as the dBASE delimiters without messing things up.

Obviously a quick UDL is possible with just the categories to put things in, but I’m finding that the real power of the UDL system is in the finer use of the mechanisms like the nesting, differentiation of forward search/backward search, prefix mode, etc works much better when combined to get a desired result. It’s actually much more powerful than I originally figured. I wish I’d had a good explanation/example like you’ve done, back then…although, with so much to include to make a UDL almost a complete language system, it would have probably been too much to absorb at the time and would not have availed me much improvement at the time. It’s something that requires a lot of trial and error and understanding of the mechanisms and time playing with it, I think, to get things just right, if it’s at all possible to do. :-)

I’ve experienced something similar - Notepad++ will begin to occasionally corrupt files when I try to save them to a network drive. I can tell when it’s going to happen because it will not respond “not responding” for about 5-10 seconds, then display that error message. And it corrupts the file!!! When I’m heavily coding, this happens constantly. I have to make back-up copies constantly since it WILL corrupt the files! Extremely frustrating. This has only started being a problem within the past 2 ? updates.

@BrenMar

Are you using Comodo AV by any chance?

If so, add Notepad++ to the HIPS section as an ‘allowed application’.

I normally get a pop-up asking to do that, but for versions 8.8.3 and later this wasn’t happening.

Hope this helps.

@Alan-Kilborn nice one, yes, it can be done just to read, and to have the line number of the original file. I guess, it is the only way, but not a very convenient one, because links are lost, and it becomes absolutly manual… Thank you for answering!!!

@PeterJones said in Hide horizontal line at folds?:

editor.setElementColour(ELEMENT.FOLD_LINE, (0,0,255,255))
where the color is (RED,GREEN,BLUE,ALPHA)
…
And hiding it completely can be done by either setting the ALPHA to 0

Yes, surprisingly this works.
While:

or editor.setFoldFlags(0) in PythonScript

no, not by itself: it would leave behind a green line as if text were hidden with View/Hide Lines . As the other thread showed, that command would need to be followed by additional commands to set the Alpha of those “hidden lines’line” to 0. The full equivalent in Python would be:

editor.setFoldFlags(0) old_col=editor.getElementColour(ELEMENT.HIDDEN_LINE ) new_col=old_col[:3]+(0,) # 0 for alpha, to hide; 255 to show editor.setElementColour(ELEMENT.HIDDEN_LINE, new_col)

I find it puzzling that the latter solution requires further changing the "hidden lines’ line " colour, while:
editor.setElementColour(ELEMENT.FOLD_LINE, (x,x,x,0))
is enough by itself.
At first I thought it’s a PythonScript behind the scenes trick, but it works in NppExec too, for example with:
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETELEMENTCOLOUR SC_ELEMENT_FOLD_LINE 0x00000000
(the relevant Alpha part is the first 2 0s , making color transparent/invisible).
