@neil-schipper
thanks for your help

@ekopalypse ,

Looks good.

If anyone is interested, I made a LuaScript doing this, it’s not perfect, but for me it works for now.

-- Move selection one character left npp.AddShortcut("Selection Add Each", "Alt+,", function() if not(editor.SelectionEmpty) then local selText = editor:GetSelText() editor:BeginUndoAction() editor:DeleteBack() editor:CharLeft() editor:AddText(selText) editor:SetSel(editor.CurrentPos, editor.CurrentPos-string.len(selText)) editor:EndUndoAction() end end) -- Move selection one word left npp.AddShortcut("Selection Add Each", "Alt+Shift+,", function() if not(editor.SelectionEmpty) then local selText = editor:GetSelText() editor:BeginUndoAction() editor:DeleteBack() editor:WordLeft() editor:AddText(selText) editor:SetSel(editor.CurrentPos, editor.CurrentPos-string.len(selText)) editor:EndUndoAction() end end) -- Move selection one character right npp.AddShortcut("Selection Add Each", "Alt+.", function() if not(editor.SelectionEmpty) then local selText = editor:GetSelText() editor:BeginUndoAction() editor:Clear() editor:CharRight() editor:AddText(selText) editor:SetSel(editor.CurrentPos, editor.CurrentPos-string.len(selText)) editor:EndUndoAction() end end) -- Move selection one word right npp.AddShortcut("Selection Add Each", "Alt+Shift+.", function() if not(editor.SelectionEmpty) then local selText = editor:GetSelText() editor:BeginUndoAction() editor:Clear() editor:WordRight() editor:AddText(selText) editor:SetSel(editor.CurrentPos, editor.CurrentPos-string.len(selText)) editor:EndUndoAction() end end)

Terry, my post has been “edited” by the system,

I thought as much. The system will adjust posts according to it’s “formatting rules”. To prevent these issues please read the post pinned at the start of this section of the forum titled “Please Read This Before Posting”. It outlines what is needed when posting examples. So if you happen to post again it is VERY important you follow those examples, otherwise you may find (again) the solution doesn’t fit your needs.

It’s good to know that in this instance you were easily able to adjust to fit your requirements.

Terry

More thoughts:

Change EditPlus’s OK button to “Use” (this would also save any unsaved changes to the current entry before “using” it) Change EditPlus’s Remove button to “Delete” (delete being a more-common Notepad++ usage) (this was actually OP’s idea); deletion would need to be confirmed Change EditPlus’s Up and Down buttons to be more explicit as “Move Up” and “Move Down” to move the currently selected entry up or down Add a “Duplicate” button to make a copy of the current entry (if there are unsaved changes to the current entry, save them before doing the duplication) Add an “Update” button if the user starts making changes to the current entry’s data (this was actually OP’s idea) but doesn’t want to close the box and “use” the current entry, just wants to save it To abort errant changes to the current entry, “Cancel” button would be used (have to re-press the “List…” button to come back in and do more editing) When the “List…” button is pressed, if the current find/replace data is not in the list, offer to add it? If it is in the list, make it the current entry for quick-access mods?

@patrickdrd Спасибо большое, на 32 плагин появился .

@jillplaysmc

If this programme was able to display the contents of your file, then recuva should also be able to do so.

@peterjones Thank you very much! It work ;)

@peterjones Thanks you very much Peter, it works like a charm.

@peterjones
Thanks Peter, I roughly read through the linked post, and it would make sense that it is coloured tekst, when looking at the live logging I see some green or red tekst passing.
I’ll dive into the details of the related post tomorrow, thanks for the help.

Even though I’m not asking for icons to be made, I’m just asking for the ability to associate them if they exist, I doubt that any developer of the project would ever be willing to implement that, so instead I’m gonna link this method here for any wandering into this thread wanting what I want.

Special thanks to nicholas, I’m gonna spam this script everywhere on my system, I didn’t know it was this easy to manipulate icons.

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/22760/different-icons-for-file-extensions/3?_=1652831346795
@nicholas said in Different icons for file extensions:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.css\OpenWithProgids] "Notepad++.css"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++.css] @="CSS Source File" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++.css\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\resources\\win32\\css.ico" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++.css\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++.css\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Notepad++.css\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""

Replace .css with the file extension you want. Set the DefaultIcon path to what you want to use. If using x64 version of Notepad++ then remove the (x86). Save the file with a .reg extension and then run it.

Next time you open a file you will be prompted to choose an application open with. Select Notepad++ and then the icons should update.

Thank you Peter, That really does help a lot!!

@terry-r ,
For a lot of the language, that would be fine, with the exception of the Clipper specific language extentions, which if they use the basic dBASE or in NPP’s case, the xbase language UDL located on github here: https://github.com/MAPJe71/Languages/tree/master/xBase/Config and then modify it as you need.

The dBASE UDL I’ve done recently, is primarily only usable by the Object-Oriented Programming version of dBASE begun with the dBASE 5.0 for Windows and above, mostly for dBASE Plus, since a lot changed between that original version and the smoothed out version of dBASE Plus.

This type of feature has also been discussed in the following places:

@steen-mikkelsen ,

As @Terry-R said in the other version (now locked),

without additional information it’s hard to "guess"what your needs are.

However, like Guy, I will try to make a guess.

Is it then possible to only show the results and not have to press “Next” every time.

In the Search > Find dialog, instead of hitting Find Next, you can click Find All in Current Document. This will find all the occurrences in the current document (or in the current selection, if that checkbox is marked), and will list them in the Search Results panel. You can then scroll through the list of all lines with matching text, and select whichever one you want to navigate to in the main editor. The Search Results is documented in the online user manual.

@peterjones Thanks for taking the time to respond, Peter – I’ll check back with the user. Yes, agreed: hard to poke at the problem from across the internet.

@joe-hicks ,

That’s what Windows’ Open With entry in the Explorer-RightClick menu is for: right click on the file name, Open With, then pick the alternate application that you’d like to use that time.

Alternately, if you “accidentally” open a file with Notepad++ and want to open it in notepad.exe instead, you can use Notepad++'s *Run > Run… dialog, enter notepad.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" (yes, with the quote marks and the parentheses inside the quote marks) – you can even Save that action with a keystroke if you want – and when you run that command, it will open the current file from Notepad++ into notepad.exe

Well I figure out that an issue already exists under Npp Python script github, and it has been fixed 16 day ago. I’ve tested with Nightly build , and defect is fixed (https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues/234) . Thank you @chcg

Any chance to get this fix in the stable branch 2.0.0

cheers
