@Charles-Fraichot ,

Do you have recommended plug ings or built-in features that works well for bookkeeping

For bookkeeping? I would be very much surprised if there were. Bookkeeping is all about tables and numbers, which are the weak points of text editors. But some bookkeeping-adjacent plugins that might be helpful could be “Expression calculator” (which allows you to use the editor panel as a calculator of sorts). And the Columns++ plugin makes use of “elastic tabstops” to help present and manipulate tabular data.

What is the best way to organize and clean bank statements

I am not sure what Notepad++ brings to the “organize” space. And I am highly doubtful that there are any modern bank statements in a text format, unless maybe as JSON or XML.

working with structured data

Again, not really the strength of text editors. There are some structured data formats, like JSON and XML, that are text based, and thus fall under the purview of text editors like Notepad++. And tools like JsonTools and XML Tools help with those (but, again, often purpose-built tools are better for such data than general text editors are, even with Notepad++'s awesome plugins).

I m looking to avoid … LibreOffice for this part of my work

Avoiding tools purpose-built for the task, especially excellent free tools like LibreOffice, seems to me to be shooting onesself in one’s foot. But the plugins I’ve recommended might make certain aspects of your self-inflicted foot pain more tolerable. Good luck

update: I have versions of the theme files which won’t have the ugly white backgrounds temporaroly at https://github.com/pryrt/notepad-plus-plus/tree/themesPost889/PowerEditor/installer/themes ⇒ they will hopefully eventually be put into the main codebase, for distribution with v8.9 and future. But until then, you can

Exit Notepad++ Go to that URL and download the raw version of your theme(s) For a normal Notepad++ installation, use Explorer to go to %AppData%\Notepad++ if there’s not a themes subdirectory, create it move the downloaded theme(s) into %AppData%\Notepad++\themes When you run Notepad++ next time, it will use the updated theme.

If you have customized your theme with user-keywords or user-extensions, this would overwrite those… I will eventually be writing a FAQ which explains a way to work around those customizations (once I don’t have to link to a branch in my fork of the code to share the theme files).

@Mark-Olson said in Menu command for ensuring current position is visible:

I agree with you that this is pretty confusing, and agree that using the arrow keys should have the same effect as typing. This would obviously be a separate feature request though, and as you noted I rather doubt that it would be accepted because it would only add confusion for some other users.

After sleeping one night about it, and rereading your posting about typing any char and undo. Also in your issue #17297 and @Alan-Kilborn 's issue #12107 … I have changed my mind a bit, because I think that both situations of keystrokes (typing char from keyboard input or pressing arrow key) should be handled in the same way. This would make consistent behaviour of the application.

I think, keystrokes should always have direct effect on a visible caret, so the caret should be made visible first, and afterwards perform the action from keyboard (typing char/moving caret).

Keystrokes on an invisible caret look more like undefined behaviour. The user does not know, where his focus is. Even making caret jump to next visible position could be unexpected, because user did not know where he previously has been. Maybe user is even confused, because of the jump.

So from this perspective, the current behaviour of arrow keys could be worth considering if it is unexpected/inconsistent.
