      Hello @AL-Hasan-Haj-Asaad,

      I’m not quite sure if I understand your question correctly.
      Do you want a sound to be played while pressing a key?
      If so, npp doesn’t support this natively. I assume it can be solved
      but as said, I’m not sure whether I understood your question correctly.

      Cheers
      Claudia

        Sad …
        Mac platform still a big problem
        I don’t know why does not a big program such NPP++ support this platform _?

          Hello @AL-Hasan-Haj-Asaad

          Mac platform still a big problem

          there are different possibilities to run notepad++ on a mac (not natively but it is possible)
          A) run npp within a vm -> parallels support windows
          B) use software like winebottles to run npp on mac

          I don’t know why does not a big program such NPP++ support this platform _?

          npp uses windows api heavily and os’s like osx and linux do have different api,
          so in order to support those os’s you need to either provide three different versions
          or introduce an additional layer which abstracts each os api with the benefit to slow
          down npp execution.

          In regards to your question,
          is a bit of a hack and works only if char is added.
          What needs to be done first is described here

          The script itself

          import winsound
          
          soundfile = "C:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav"
          
          def callback_CHARADDED(args):
              winsound.PlaySound(soundfile, winsound.SND_FILENAME)
          
          editor.clearCallbacks([SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED])
          editor.callback(callback_CHARADDED, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED])
          

          Of course you need to change the path to the soundfile.

          Cheers
          Claudia
