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

ok

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

ok

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

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.

and please shortcuts.xml as well.

@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:

that txt file looks now:

@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 !

Claudia Frank

@John-Spark

yes, that’s the closest we can get, First time it must run the execute dialog.
Glad to see that we’ve done it.

What’s next?
If there is one, please open a new thread this one is getting to big.

In this last post I would like to just summarize what was this all about.
Two suggestions:

#1, Ability to delete Auto-Inserted (Auto-Completion Preferences menu) half of dual symbol (parenthesis, brackets, curly braces, quotas…) by pressing Backspace. It means to remove whole double symbol by deleting it’s first half wrote manually in origin.

#2, Ability to delete Tabbed whitespaces (by pressing Backspace), transformed to regular spaces due to Tab Settings in Preferences; in sense of one Backspace = one deleted tabbed whitespace. It means not x-times pressed Backspace to delete one tabbed whitespace.

I know I may look like as incompetent total stupider after this whole topic, but my suggestions aren’t stupid. Thanks devs for considerating it.

Bye all

John Spark

and forgot:

#3, Ability to reset key bindings to default from GUI. For beginners who never used such poweful notepad and are trying to find their own efficient work habits.

John Spark

#4, Ability to exclude numbers from Auto-Completion.
And ability to exclude specific strings from Auto-Completion per file or default for anything opened !
