Hi, @coises,

That’s really kind of you to ask for my permission.But, considering all the times you’ve listened to me, the least I can do is, of course, give you my full permission to use this file ;-))

Just note that I noticed, at the very end of the ICU.txt file, a small section that I used to verify if the \p{...} syntaxes were written correctly

As this part should not be part of the file, I modified the current file which, of course, changed the sharing link ! And I’ve just updated this link in my previous post !

Best Regards,

guy038

@PeterJones Ah yah, I understand now. I suppose this is a fine solution, so thank you for that. This still requires some finesse to get in front of the 1st column versus just click+dragging inside the margin, but definitely better than before. 😎

@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)

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

@xomx
Thank you for pinging!

I also find that OneDrive folders aren’t always turned on when you first log in/start up; that’s why I preferred using network drives over OneDrive. When you first open a OneDrive folder in File Explorer, there should be a button somewhere that toggles the drive.

@Olyfant22 said in Cannot open text files in Adminitrative mode from network shares in Win11:

why is it that under Windows 10 this is not a problem?

Maybe Microsoft changed that part of the operating system between Win10 and Win11. Or maybe you have unknowingly mapped the network drive both under normal user and admin user on your old Win10 machine.

@tauniaxd ,

I have added the ability to do rgba(0,127,127,0.05)-type colors to the on-demand script at
https://github.com/pryrt/nppStuff/blob/main/pythonScripts/nppCommunity/21xxx/21044-ColorizeHtmlCssColors.py

If you prefer full underline, then change lines 24 and 26 of the script to use INDICATORSTYLE.PLAIN instead of INDICATORSTYLE.DASH

@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

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/102348

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.

@pbarney said in Virtual Key Codes Update:

It mentions a “complete list” which can be found on the repo at keys.h , but that file is far from complete.

Good point. That phraseology was left over from the pre-2017 wiki-based manual, which was known to be out-of-date and innacurate, but it was a monumental task to update that, and some things weren’t always reworded in the best manner.

The modern User Manual does, however, also point to a few posts here, which in turn lead to our FAQ: FAQ: List of Notepad++ key combinations, available for shortcuts. I should remove the word “complete” from the UM, and point directly to the FAQ. However, you might want to double check your list against the FAQ, to let us know if the FAQ is missing any.

Please note that many in your table, like the VK_GAMEPAD*, are technically “reserved” in the official list, and are dependent on Windows keyboard settings and localization

A more-complete list is found in namedKeyArray[] in shortcut.cpp – in that, that is the list that modern Notepad++ now uses when generating the list of available keys in Shortcuts (and it uses win32 API calls to ensure that for reserved and oem-specific keycodes, it provides the right name based on your current Windows keyboard settings) – so it’s a complete list of what Notepad++ actually allows via the GUI.

update: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#virtual-key-number has been updated to stop calling keys.h “complete”; it now links to a section of the codebase in shortcut.cpp that lists all the keycodes available to the Shortcut Mapper GUI, and links to the official MS documentation. Also, the text links to the FAQ rather than the individual posts for finding keycodes. And it explains how to use calc.exe to convert the hex listed in the source code or the MS docs into decimal for use in the key="###" attributes in shortcuts.xml.

@mapsonx ,

I don’t know that tool, so I don’t know what it considers a “critical event”, or what “stopped working” means.

You also don’t say what version of Notepad++ you are using (especially whether or not you are still using the portableapps modification or the official), nor what plugins you may have installed (which can highly affect stability).

But in my experience, Notepad++ doesn’t just “stop working”, except in cases of rare critical bugs, or plugin misbehavior, or user error.

update: Wow, I’d never heard of the Windows Reliability Monitor before. On mine, I see no Notepad++ events. On the events that I do have, some show a “View technical details” link, which brings a crash report which has meaningful information: it’s too bad that yours don’t appear to have that link. The format of that window appears similar to the details obtainable from the Event Viewer – so maybe you can find details for one or more of those evens from that MS tool, and see if that gives you any hints, or share the details so that someone here might be able to give you insight (I know that @xomx has been able to help interpret Event Viewer details before, and that has even led quickly to a PR to fix the bug).

@martin-honnen ,

Please be careful when forking and keeping the original name for an apparently-abandoned plugin. Sometimes, it turns out it wasn’t as abandoned as thought – something like that happened with NppConsole plugin (as obliquely mentioned in a recent Topic here): a few years ago, it appeared abandoned, so a regular here took the source code, and made their own fork, but kept the original name (thinking it would be safe, because it appeared to be no longer supported in the original channel); but then, fast forward a few more years, and the original author did provide their own upgrades to the original plugin – so now there are two competing development paths, each having version numbers not present in the chain for the other, which will make any future questions in the forum confusing, as to which NppConsole plugin is actually being talked about.

Similarly, if morbac ever decides to come back to the plugin, then your fork and the original could have conflicting and/or confusing version numbers and naming.

I would highly recommend coming up with your own name for your product, if you are planning to continue development and support on your version of the plugin. If it’s really just a one-off thing, and you aren’t planning on future bugfixes/improvements/support, then it’s up to you whether it’s worth the rename; but if you want to continue to work on the plugin, then I’d suggest the rename.

OTOH: if you can get permission from @morbac to take over completely, then it’s safe to keep the original name, because you’ve got the permission. (It’s most clear, in cases like that, if you can get write permission to the original repo – @chcg was able to do with @bruderstein’s PythonScript, and that sense of continuity makes it more obvious that his is still the “official” PythonScript.)

@Steve-Plumlee said in Flickering screen on the latest edit that i've made (like a preview of current and previous state):

@GM-Bobby-B Hi I am having the same experience. I suspect this is a new “Feature” but I have been unable to determine where the setting is to turn it off.

Did you ever figure it out? @Lycan-Thrope Appreciate your FAQ items but I think this is a feature that was added. Maybe one of the dev’s can answer that

Forum search didn’t result in any other posts so maybe it’s a plugin or something?

No, if the video that the original poster put in reddit last year is realy what you’re seeing, it’s not a “feature”.

@Lycan-Thrope linked to the FAQ because the original poster didn’t give enough version information to be any help. And despite thanking him for the link to the FAQ, neither did you. Share your ?-menu’s Debug Info to let us know what version you are using, and many other things that are often relevant to debugging uncommon problems.

That user has never come back to this forum since the original post, so never even saw @Lycan-Thrope’s answer. And the people in Reddit just found that changing the caret blink rate in the preferences “fixed” it for them… though that should have nothing to do with what Notepad++ displays.

My guess is that it was really a plugin causing the problem, or that the underlying cause is actually something slowing down the entire computer, causing it to refresh Notepad++'s screen at odd times.

If you think it might be a plugin, we’ve got a different FAQ which has a section on diagnosing “Possible Culprit: Plugin”: you should follow the steps included there.
