      the fork

      Why do you think NotepadNext is a fork of Notepad++?

        Hello, @don-ho, @cmeriaux, @alan-kilborn, @asvc, @ekopalypse, @michael-vincent, @astrosofista, @mapje71, @terry-r and All,

        In order to promote a bit the incremental search, with regular expressions I just had an idea :

        Why don’t we propose to put a new setting in the config.xml file to allow this new incremental search mode ? So, by default, for non-experienced users, the incremental search would remain a classical search ;-))

        I mean, in the same way that @don-ho, preserved the backward regex search with this new regexBackward4PowerUser attribute in the FindHistory tag, since N++ 7.8.7 Release 4. See my request to @don-ho, one month ago, for such a setting, in the last part of this post :

        Just hope you won’t find this idea too ridiculous !

        Best Regards

        guy038

          Nice fork. Qt is nicer than mfc. Too bad there isn’t a python API for plug-in because I don’t like Lua.

            @guy038 your idea is a good compromise but I think for a feature like this, it should be mainstream wheter be hidden through a config parameter

              That’s a start! It can be used to gently introduce the functionality without creating any sort of discomfort for long-term users. Then, based on feedback, setting can be exposed in GUI.

              Now… How to deliver this message to @donho without annoying him with repetitive requests? :)

                    @Alan-Kilborn Yes, this is a fact, it’s hard to argue.

                          @William4565 ,

                          If you have a specific question about Notepad++ regex, then create a new topic in the Help Wanted section. Don’t resurrect an old topic that isn’t specific to your question. And don’t just say you would like help: explain what you want help with.
