@arnaud-derette said in Terminal window in a N++ tab:

I searched a plugin capable of doing that

NppConsole was rescued from oblivion a few years by @Michael-Vincent, but never put into the Plugins Admin. That literally runs cmd.exe (or other executable, like powershell) in a panel in Notepad++ (the command that it runs is defined through the About box, rather than a separate config dialog).

Or the NppExec plugin (available thru Plugins Admin), which can be used to launch anything (and has a whole scripting language to go with it), and it has a console window that such commands can show their output in.

Either one of those plugins should work for you.

Search++ version 0.5.4 is available:

Fix bookmarks and Show command not working with ICU search engine. Fix unwanted control character inserted when focus is in the Find or Replace box and a keyboard shortcut is used to activate a Tools menu command that opens a dialog. Use a custom font for button symbols. (Those are the symbols that change when you shift+click one of the drop-down menus to change the button click command, to remind you at a glance what the current command extent and scope are.) Hopefully these are easier to read on different systems. Feedback is encouraged if the button symbols are hard to read or do not look right. This is a first attempt. Changes will probably follow in subsequent releases.

@guy038:

This should fix bookmarks (and also the Show command) not working with ICU, and the unexpected insertion of control characters when using Ctrl+Shift+E and Ctrl+Shift+Y.

The big change here (what took me so long) is using a custom font for the symbols on the buttons. How to make that work was… not obvious. Let me know if they are easier to read—and if they are enough easier to read. There is a tough space constraint on those buttons, but I really want to avoid making them any larger if at all possible. This was my first time trying to make a font of any sort. I’m sure the designs of those symbols can be refined a bit (or a lot).
