Well then you need to read it again. There’s the reference to unregistering the nppshell.dll, that’s one thing that might help. Then there’s the references to the registry, so you could go looking for those references and remove them if they still exist.

@pgklada said in ctrl-W should close Notepad++ when no document is open:

there might be an settings option to enable this, so no users are distracted with such a change…

The option is found in Settings > Preferences > Tab Bar > ☑ Exit on Close the Last Tab

@Omar-A ,

Search has a “regular expression” mode which will be able to search for anything matching a pattern. Since I assume you want to also delete the matching </span> to go with it, then I believe a regex like the following will work:
FIND = <span data-path-to-node[^>]*>(.*?)</span>
REPLACE = $1
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression

That worked on the first three spans in your example (and would’ve worked on the fourth if the final /span> wasn’t missing the <)
