Highlighting range between brackets in a .php file with html code as well

@Marco-Czen

Am i editing the correct file ? location ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml ) ?

Could be the issue…that path is only good if you are running a local install. You can tell if this is the case if in your ? (menu) -> Debug Info you see: Local Conf mode : ON. For the other type (which I don’t run so can’t give you exact location) check somewhere in the area of C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\. Or if you use the Cloud, it is even somewhere else…check Preferences then Cloud…

the Autocomplete doesnt offer Scott Sumner’s name ?

Yea, too many "Scott"s…the NodeBB software seems to have a problem in this area…can’t scroll down to the one you want if the one you want isn’t already on the screen. :-(

BTW, where’s MY “Niceeee” ? :-D

@Scott-Sumner - NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!

@Scott-Sumner - Looks like the actual path is;

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

Added the below code block with Notepad++ itself

<Macro name=“Highlight Brace2Brace” Ctrl=“no” Alt=“no” Shift=“no” Key=“0”>
<Action type=“2” message=“0” wParam=“43023” lParam=“0” sParam=“” />
<Action type=“2” message=“0” wParam=“43053” lParam=“0” sParam=“” />
<Action type=“2” message=“0” wParam=“43022” lParam=“0” sParam=“” />
</Macro>

ShutDown and Restarted Notepad and Macros Shows “Highlight Brace2Brace”.

The Macro works fine !

THANKS GUYS !!!

Oops spoke too soon …
If you run the Macro - The braces get highlighted … and … remains highlighted even when u click outside or ESC .
The highlight only disappears when u close the file.

Hmmmm…

Yes, that is correct behavior.

You can turn OFF the highlight (without closing the file) by executing the command: Search (menu) -> Unmark All -> Clear 1st Style. As that has no default keycombo I strongly suggest you assign it one using Settings (menu) -> Shortcut Mapper…

I also noticed in your macro listing above that you don’t have a keycombo assigned to the macro–for turning the highlighting ON. I suggest you assign one there as well.

Yes, that is what I meant when I said: C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\ but I should have been more explicit for those maybe not familiar with the way applications store stuff in ...\AppData\.......
