@Vito-Evola I’ve got the simplest workaround and tested it… Download the portable version of Notepad++ and unpack Notepad++ inside a folder in Dropbox.

Is that simple, both computers found the txt files and since my files are also inside Dropbox then no broken files.

Hope you find this helpful!

@Ilia-Nenashev said in JSON String Escape / Unescape:

Such possibility I have found only in https://github.com/RolandTaverner/npp-json-escape-unescape-plugin but there is some risk of installing compiled plugin from outside of community.

Well, I’m (the author of the npp-json-escape-unescape-plugin) not that far outside the community. Also, I’ve finally fixed the plugin solution so anyone can build it from source (see the instructions in the README).

@h-jangra
I’ve been waiting for this plugin for quite long, thank you for your contribution!
I just tried out the initial release (v1.1.00) it works well in recent npp version, and I’m very happy to just navigate using vim commands.

I’m looking forward to updates! How can I sponsor your work?

@Nicholas, looks like you cant!

as @Alan-Kilborn pointed out, the option is there, but it’s greyed out.

is there a toggle that enables editing?

@Ekopalypse I know this is very old post, I have just lived with it till now. I started to try and find the answer again and found my own old post. You are correct the background for the Global Style Smart Highlighting was set to the default background. This fixed my issue.

Notepad++ v8.8.6 Plugins Admin links to CollectionInterface v1.2.0

comes with Dark Mode support and bulk-mode download (actually from v1.1, which I mentioned over here) v1.2.0 has better handling of -settingsDir and Cloud Directory. (It was implementing the -settingsDir handling which lead to the new v8.8.6 plugin message NPPM_GETNPPSETTINGSDIRPATH , which my plugin uses when Notepad++ version is new enough (though it does have a workaround that works even if you manually install it on an older N++).)

CollectionInterface v1.3.0 is now available for manual installation:

When downloading functionList defitions(s) (either on the FunctionList tab, or in bulk along with the UDL), the plugin will ask if you want to update the overrideMap.xml, which allows the functionList to be fully installed through the automatic process, so that functionList will immediately start working, without requiring you to manually update overrideMap.xml to link to the definition. I wasn’t fast enough with this feature to get it in the v8.8.6 Plugins Admin, so it’s manual installation only, for now.

@rdipardo I just ran into this when I tried pasting a webpage of emoticon codes into a new installation of Notepad++ and was very surprised and pleased to see them rendered in color! In my daily NotePad++ they always look like line drawings. I tried playing with preferences but didn’t figure it out, so I Googled it and found the AI summary told me how to enable direct write to achieve this. Apparently when I installed my NotePad++ GDI was the default, but now it’s DirectWrite that is the default! Hooray! 😀

@Stefan said in Text anti-aliased since 6.7.9(.2?):

I just tested with 6.8. Enabling / Disabling windows clear type will change how the N++ menu is displayed but not where i read and edit the document. The “Enable smooth font” switch does nothing on my machine. “SCI_SENDMSG 2611 1” in NPPExec does help but is not persistent. This is really frustrating… Am i doing something wrong ?

Thank you!

Still an issue 10+ years later… Luckily NPPExec supports running scripts on startup:

Hello. In version 8.7 and earlier (including version 8.8.5), the cursor appears out of place. Please fix this.
