      I changed the comment line character for assembly in the langs.xml file from ; to // since the architecture I’m working with (ARMv8 with gcc compiler) uses // to denote comments. After changing this and restarting notepad++ it still detects ; for comment lines. What can I do to force notepad++ to detect // as the start of a comment line when working in assembly?

I made these changes on both my home computer and my laptop with the same result. I don’t use cloud at all either.

            More info:

            using ctrl+k inserts // as expected it’s just the syntax highlighting that doesn’t work.
