Alright
I added quotes and first line before it, so it looks like this:

great

Quotes helped, file found. And that history, is showing also much redundant text which is filling that split screen. See please:
http://i.imgur.com/Uj43PPF.png
Output which I need to see is just 6, 9. Other stuff is no needed, is possible to not show it ? Because it’s filling screen too much and I have small monitor.

When I type ‘cls’ into console, it clears nice :) What else useful may I write into there too please ?

Thank you very much for helping me ! This saves me days of googling or asking on other forums + getting minuses on my account on stackoverflow leading to no permission to post anymore. Users who gained a lot of experience numbers are just minus all newbies like mafia. It’s almost unable to get some experience numbers. But not anymore about it. Lets focus on this issues.

type help to get a list of all variables and commands which can be used
and e.g. help npe_console to get detailed informations on that particular command.

to reduce spam output create another Execute profile by passing this two lines into it

npe_console v- m- a+
cls

what each switch does can be read when using help ;-)

save it with a meaningful name and press either ok or cancel, doesn’t matter.

Now we don’t need the npe_console a+ above the python … anymore,
so select the python profile, delete the npe_console a+ and save it.

Restart npp

Done

So we finalized commands into it, to looks like this:
http://i.imgur.com/I1v9m3Y.png

It’s is not what I need, because cls command delete everything outputted before.
No matter how many times I press F6, it will show still one most fresh output on console: http://i.imgur.com/8S2fmx8.png
But I need history of outputs, I need clear just those redundant stuff. But I need to compare outputs based on my code changes. Is possible to modify it under my needs please ?

I don’t want run that script on every start of NP++, because I still need code stuff and then see result. So we keep it by F6 pressing.

And I was ticking off this setting:
http://i.imgur.com/snYUjbT.png
Because in every new NP++ run, I don’t want see console at first, I need code something without splitscreen. This untick can not keep it’s value between starts of NP++. Can it be somehow forced to not show console on each start please ?

Thank you much Claudia

Claudia Frank

No, I meant something different.
We save the console option in a different profile like here

npe_console v- m- a+
cls
npp_console off

save it, and assign it to be started when npp starts like here

Which means your actual python execution profile should then
be changed to

python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

like here.

That’s it. Everytime you start npp the assigned startup script sets your console parameters.
When pressing (SHIFT +) F6 it will execute python and console is visible again.

Cheers

I have read your post five times. I explored everything in npp exec settings and stuff.
I don’t know where do I have to put this:
python “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”

In ‘Execute’ window you can’t have two separate scripts or commands. Once I save those three line commands and make it execute on NP++ start, there is no option where may I put line above.

Thanks

John Spark

I have done this:
this commands I saved to profile A and run on start:
npe_console v- m- a+
cls
npp_console off

this I saved as profile B and supposed to be run with F6:
python “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”

But I cannot see what is executing, because on start I have still console appeared and by presssing F6 code is exexuting, but still no history. And also on start code get executed without F6.
I’m not sure which profile it’s executing by F6, it’s not possible to check it anyhow.

If you may install other NP++ instance and try it, you will get same result.

Thanks

of course not ok, I will try it with a new installed npp and see if this is a bug.
I will come back on this.

@John-Spark
it works exactly as I described.
Are you sure you have used

npp_console off

and NOT

npe_console off

?
If so,

please post the content of the following two files

...\plugins\Config\npes_saved.txt

and

...\plugins\Config\NppExec.ini

Claudia

John Spark

I apologise. I used wrong npe instead of correct npp.
However, now when I press F6, all happend so fast as blink of an eye.
Console get closed as it gets executed I assume, so I can’t even see a result.
Also I don’t want get closed console after it executes.

Thanks and sorry again

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark

do you remember what we said, you need to run the execute dialog everytime you start npp for the first time and only one time.
Every subsequent call can be executed by the direct execution function. As far as I remember you switched the normal keys
F6 and SHIFT+F6, didn’t you? So, press SHIFT+F6 what happens?

Claudia

John Spark

Yes yes I remember. It did that flash and every other press. Like there is no differention between first press and others. This seems buggy for real.
Here is nppexec.ini

@John-Spark

and please shortcuts.xml as well.

Claudia

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark
your npes_saved.txt is wrong.
Why don’t you not just simply copy and past my example?
It must look like this

::NppExec Console Settings
npe_console v- m- a+
cls
npp_console off
::Python
python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

do you see the difference?

Claudia

John Spark

I’m confused now.
I did:

closed NP++
opened npes_saved.txt
pasted copied text from your post above
saved
-turn on NP++
and I saw this:
http://i.imgur.com/MbqHAje.png

that txt file looks now:
http://i.imgur.com/U6jdALs.png

shortcut file from program files: http://i.imgur.com/dWTlB1p.png
shortcut file from user’s appdata folder: http://i.imgur.com/iBRgDYl.png

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark

look like means, as far as I know, it is similar but not equal.
You, of course need to adapt it to your needs.
I called my startup script NppExec Console Settings,
whereas you called it claudia commands.
That’s why NppExec cannot find the entry point to execute the commands
on startup, therefore the error.
You either have to change the label back to claudia commands or
change in NppExec.ini the ScriptNppStart to

ScriptNppStart="NppExec Console Settings"

Claudia

Btw. shortcuts.xml looks ok

John Spark

Oh yes, what a fail of me.
I changed it to claudia commands in .txt file.
Now run NP++ and there is again that situation:

console is not loaded - which is ok
I press F6 - nothing prompted, just eyeblink time flash something
repeated press, same thing

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark

you started npp and pressed F6? Not SHIFT F6?

Claudia

John Spark

correct

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark
but after start of npp you should press SHIFT+F6

Claudia

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark
I double checked the shortcuts.xml
After start of npp you need to press CTRL+F6

Claudia

John Spark

Oh my Lord. There is difference between F6 and Ctrl+F6 ?
I thought, it’s just prompting screen.
It works now. On start Imust ctrl+f6.

This is, how you meant it from beginning + is this best way closest to one key press as I need ? Anything better can’t be made right now ?

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND TIME AND EFFORT. I OWE YOU !
