@Terry-R Thank you very much Terry. I’ll try all that.

@PeterJones Thanks for the quick update to the manual! Maintaining technical documentation across versions is a major undertaking when there’s an integrated development team within major corporations; I can’t imagine how herculean that job must be when you’re not side-by-side with a lone developer, so thank you for the excellent work on it. I really do appreciate your speedy response and update.

I tried to post the second part of my list yesterday, but I was delayed by the “time between posts” counter, and unfortunately had to leave before it reset.

However, you might want to double check your list against the FAQ, to let us know if the FAQ is missing any.

I’ll go ahead and do that. Thanks again!

the Find dialog seems to pop up where it left at last Find.

This seems very reasonable to me.

…sometimes a “Seek & find”!

Shouldn’t be…it’s where you “left (it) at last Find”.

Summary: Put it where you want it to appear always, and it will always appear in that same spot.

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

i think i get it : It does not handle correctly 4K screen.

That does not surprise me. Notepad++ is still not great for high-DPI environments, and it’s been taking a long time to finish some of the last-remaining high-DPI issues. And if the main app, with lots of contributors, still has issues, then it should come as no surprise that the plugins, which usually only have one developer (if they remain interested), whose skillset usually focuses on the feature that their plugin implements, rather than on the generics of all the edge cases of modern win32 coding. (At least, I know that’s true for me on my plugin(s).)

I don’t have a High-DPI environment, so I don’t know and can’t test for you, but maybe the NppExec plugin handles high-DPI better than NppConsole does (whether the original, or the intermediate fork)

@William-Fields said in Curse of the Curly Quotes:

When pasting code into NP++ from another source, no matter what I do, if the source has curly quotes, the pasted content has curly quotes.

Right. That’s because the curly quote characters have different codepoints from ASCII quotemarks.

It’s doing the right thing.

If you want to convert, then use a regular expression:
FIND = [“”]
REPLACE = "
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression
REPLACE ALL

change all curly quotes to straight quotes when opening documents or pasting content

There’s no such command or option in Notepad++, because that would be Notepad++ changing characters from one codepoint to another without user interaction, which is the antithesis of text editing

The Direct Write ligature-effects from the post you showed is just the fonts changing the appearance of characters based on font ligature rules, but the underlying characters that Notepad++ is presenting are the exact same characters as found on disk. On the other hand, the curly quotes that you are copying and pasting are different characters from the ASCII quote.
