      @Alan-Kilborn How do you install a plugin? I downloaded finger text and copied the files to the plugin folder but I am not sure what to do next.

        How do you install a plugin?

        There are two ways. But first, it should be noted that FingerText is only available for 32-bit Notepad++ (from the official source). If you have 64-bit Notepad++, the files you downloaded won’t work; if you must stay with 64-bit Notepad++, you will have to find alternate solution (or convince someone to rebuild FingerText as 64-bit – or find someone who already has)

        Method 1: Use the Plugins > Plugins Admin to check the box next to “FingerText”, then click Install

        Method 2: Download the zipfile (as you did). Exit all instances of Notepad++. In your Notepad++ installation (often c:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++), go into the Plugins subfolder, create a directory that matches the name of the DLL without the extension (it looks like it’s called FingerText.dll, so the folder in a standard install would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\Plugins\FingerText), and unzip the DLL file into that folder. Reload Notepad++.

        At this point, Plugins > FingerText menu entry should exist.

          I’ve been using QuickText on 32-bit and then compiled and slightly improved it for 64 and 32-bit since it seemed to be unsupported. You can find it here:

            QuickText appears to be available via Plugins Admin (not sure why you didn’t mention that?):

              Interesting. I never did the pull request to nppPluginList to add it. Wonder how it got there? Also, that’s not the latest version; 0.1.1.1 is available on the GitHub releases page.

              Cheers.

                Not being a plugin author myself, I’m not sure of the process for (a) getting your plugin in the list [so I’m not sure how yours would have gotten there] or (b) getting your plugin version-bumped in the list.

                But I suspect Mr. Jones will have some sort of pointer coming up… :)

                  The other thing is that it’s not “my” plugin. Someone else is the original author, it just seemed to be abandoned. And since I was using it on 32-bit and wanted to move to 64-bit, I got it to work for that and added some extra enhancements that I wanted. So it really isn’t my plugin nor I think mine to list.

                  Happy to make it available on GitHub, but feel pretty weird about it being published in some list with me as the goto / author.

                  Cheers.

                    It appears @chcg added it with a commit last summer. And in December, updated it to 0.1.1.1.

                    For adding to the list (though I’ve never done it), the nppPluginList page implies you just do a Pull Request to add it into the JSON files. You can search for closed PR to see what the PR look like that get plugins updated (I couldn’t find any PR attached to @chcg’s commits, though I admit navigating these things isn’t second nature to me yet, so there might be an associated PR with his commits).

                      I wonder why it still shows as 0.1.0.1 in PA then?

                      Yea, not to fault @chcg in any way, but it does seem awkward for you, given the project’s history.

                        In what version of Notepad++ / nppPluginList?

                        v7.8.4 shows 0.1.1.1 for me:

                        (both have the DLL’s RClick > Properties > Details showing 1.1.7.0)

                          Ah, I’m forgetting that PA isn’t quite “live”, like PM used to be. A shallow replacement, sadly. And all that work put into it, too…

                          Yea, I’m running a slightly older N++, so it makes sense.
                          Sorry to confuse because I forgot how things work.

                            Especially if annoying people like me start asking you to make fixes, rather than the original author. Then you might have to start supporting it, or ignoring those people. :-)

                            I say this for no particular reason, because I wouldn’t ask you to look into why, when I installed 0.1.1.1 via Plugins Admin, it defaulted to an empty QuickText.conf.ini, rather than using the values for the defaults – because if I were to ask you about that, it would be like trying to assign you ownership, and I wouldn’t do that. ;-)

                            When that happens, then the Options… dialog is unintelligible; if that happens to someone else, they should Plugins > QuickText > Open Config File…, and paste in the contents of https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinsworldcom/nppQuickText/master/Config/QuickText.conf.default.ini and save, then Plugins > QuickText > Refresh Configuration… – though it would be nice to not have to go through those hoops.

                            Oh, you meant because of copyright/license/ownership? That makes sense, too. It was released under GPL2, so as long as you attribute the original authors, maintain license, and make it clear that you have made changes from the original, there’s nothing wrong. (I’m never sure whether GPL requires you to change the name of the project if you make a fork or not, though it doesn’t seem to be that way: IANAL.
                            In other open-source communities – like Perl’s CPAN, it is possible to take ownership of abandoned open-source projects, and those don’t require renames, so I would assume it’s the same here.)

                            . . . .

                              Yes, I’ve done that. And I know Perl better than C++ so feel more comfortable actually supporting my Perl modules.

                              I don’t know why it doesn’t use the default one supplied with the ZIP file / install. Thanks for the work-around. I guess I never noticed already having it installed and working - probably had to jump through those hoops the first time I set it up from the original author and then my subsequent “upgrades” were just overwriting the DLL - the config and INI file where already in place.

                              Not sure if this helps now that you’ve figured it out:

                              QuickText.conf.default.ini = is an example of the the Plugin’s config file
                              QuickText.default.ini = is an example for the code snippets

                              When installed, it should end up like this:

                              $(NPP_INSTALL_DIR)\plugins\
  |_ QuickText
  |   |_ QuickText.dll
  |   |_ QuickText.ini
  |_ Config
      |_ QuickText.conf.ini

                              Cheers.

                                I wouldn’t do that. ;-)

                                But in all seriousness, if you’d like bug reports or feature requests to be tracked on your github, I can add them. If it’s good enough for you, and you aren’t planning on any support or future fixes, then I don’t want to clutter your repo with issues that will just be ignored for years (or forever).

                                (If you don’t reply, I’ll assume “no issues, please”.)

                                  I don’t mind you or anyone adding issues to track as long as you don’t mind they may never be fixed :-P

                                  Seriously though, I found QuickText the most “useful” snippet plugin for how I worked and 2 things happened, I moved to 64-bit and Notepad++ updated Scintilla - both of which “broke” my usage of QuickText. I hacked at it with my sub-par C++ skills and was able to get 64-bit compiled with the new N++ plugin architecture and Scintilla updates so was pleased to just keep using it.

                                  I haven’t given much thought to how I’d re-architect QuickText to address some of my minor gripes, but as it is now, it just “works” so I leave it alone.

                                  I’m “more actively” updating “my” other plugins - again, none of these are “mine”, they are clones of other people’s work that either seemed abandoned, not updated in years or my request for features were turned down, so I implemented them myself. For the same reason as QuickText, I’m hesitant on listing them officially.

                                  But for “power users” like yourself, that can stand a bit of “buginess” and hopefully no seg-fault crashes, feel free to try them out. Again, feedback welcomed (but possibly ignored :-) (coding N++ plugins isn’t my day job).

                                  Cheers.

                                    5 issues!?!?! WOW, I should have said “no issues please!” LOL.

                                    Joking aside, thanks for taking a look and taking the time to do the write-ups. I think 11 is an easy fix, 12 I’ve notice myself and just lived with it by editing the QuickText.ini file directly to add multiple new snippets. 13 I didn’t realize, although GLOBAL tags didn’t work at all in previous original versions. 14 and 15 - dealing with Unicode scare me :-(

                                    I’ll probably approach in what I think is easiest: 11, 13, 12 and back burner 14 and 15 for now.

                                    Cheers.

                                      None are showstoppers for me. Until I train myself to actually use the quick text snippets, they won’t be efficiency stoppers.

                                      And I have a pythonscript implementation of #15, so for now I have a workaround on that one: gist for pyscReplaceBackslashSequence.py (the mention of nppQuickText actually interrupted my development, while I explored to see if it would be enough for me; I ended up finalizing my script anyway)

                                        I hear that. Frequently I’ll wish there was a quicker way to do something or something I’ll see a peer doing in VS Code and I’ll think “there must be a Notepad++ way to do this”. I’ll get sidetracking trying to find something.

                                        I’ll look for a plugin or look for a way to script it in NppExec (my goto scripting engine). In fact I have a bunch of NppExec scripts (compile, style, help manual / docs, run, debug, open include files) that do a bit of formatting then send arguments to a monster Windows batch file that actually executes the task.

                                        Sometime a find a plugin that’s promising, but it doesn’t do everything or it’s just 32-bit and then I’ll find myself cloning and hacking at it (JAPH, or in this case JAN++PH [Just Another Notepad++ Plugin Hacker]) to get what I want. That’s how all of “my” plugins came to be.

                                        Cheers.

                                          Hello, @michael-vincent, @peterjones and All,

                                          First, many thanks for building an x64 version of the QuickText plugin and for all the bug fixes

                                          May I bother you, a little bit, with a couple of weird things, still occurring in your last 0.1.2.4 version ?

                                          A) : First problem :

                                          • Let suppose that you place the caret right after a word, which is not a tag, for the current language

                                          • If you run the option Plugins > QuickText > Replace Tag, it writes :

                                            • The » character, in an ANSI encoded file ( An \xbb byte )

                                            • The value xBB, in reverse video, in any Unicode encoded text ( Indeed, this single byte is not valid in an Unicode file ! )

                                          This also happens if you run the Plugins > QuickText > Replace Tag option anywhere inside some blank range of text or even in an empty text. Is it the normal behaviour or is it a bug, due to my old Win XP SP3 laptop ?!

                                          B) Second problem :

                                          • Let’s suppose that the tags file QuickText.ini is opened, with other tabs, in your current N++ session

                                          • Then, you decide to delete the only tab ( copyright ) of the GLOBAL section, using the Plugins > QuickText > Options... option. After validating the suppression :

                                            • If the current tab is the QuickText.ini you must, first, switch to an other tab

                                          • Now, switch to the QuickText.ini tab to get the expected dialog : “This file has been modified by another program, do you want to reload it ?”

                                          • After a click on the Yes button of this dialog, you can notice that the layout of the sections of QuickText.ini has become completely different !

                                            • All the ini sections, which do not have any tag, have been deleted, including the [255] GLOBAL one, of course

                                            • From now on, the different sections are sorted alphabetically and NOT  numerically

                                          C) Third problem :

                                          • Let’s suppose that you change the TEXT section as below :
                                          [0]
LANGUAGE_NAME=TXT
LANGUAG_NAME=TXT_1
LANGUAGES_NAME=TXT_2

                                          • After saving these changes, run the Plugins > QuickText > Refresh Configuration option

                                          • Then, paste the text, below, in a new text tab :

                                          aaaaa    LANGUAGE_NAME     zzzzz
aaaaa    LANGUAG_NAME      zzzzz
aaaaa    LANGUAGES_NAME    zzzzz
                                          • And run the option Plugins > QuickText > Replace Tag for each word in capitals

                                          We get :

                                          aaaaa    LANGUAGE_NAMExBB     zzzzz
aaaaa    TXT_1      zzzzz
aaaaa    TXT_2    zzzzz

                                          I would have expected that the LANGUAGE_NAME tag would have been expanded to the string TXT OR to the current language, for any language different of Normal Text

                                          BTW, why, in [0] section, the LANGUAGE_NAME is expanded to TXT whereas the language is TEXT ?

                                          D) To end with , a possible improvement :

                                          • It would be better to include all the other languages, with code over 49, giving the following default QuickText.ini file :

                                            A) This does not happen for me. It is probably as expected for now since I always use ANSI encoded files and my QuickText.ini is ANSI encoded. As @PeterJones documented in the GitHub issues, UNICODE does not work in this plugin and since there is a mess of someone else’s old code, I’m not prioritizing fixing that - sorry.

                                            B) The tab switching to get the change notification happens for me with any file in N++. Not sure that’s related. The order of sections is as expected as well since when the file is rewritten, it’s written according to looping through the C++ vector storing the languages - I don’t believe any sort is applied. So however they are in there, they are written out. I’ll see if there’s a way to easily sort, but I don’t think it’s necessary.

                                            C) LANGUAGE_NAME is not a tag. It’s a comment. The original version didn’t even check for it so if yo had them, they would show up as tags. I ignored them originally, but then they weren’t rewritten to the file on save so disappeared. Now I purposefully placed them back in, but they should never be visible in the Options dialog as Tags to expend. I’ll see if I can make that more clear by making them #LANGUAGE_NAME. So the behavior if replacing tags is as expected, the first one does not expand since it is not a valid tag (not seen in Options dialog) and you’re hitting the issue in A) about encoding. The second and third don’t match the regex I look to ignore for comments so show up as valid tags and are expanded.

                                            D) I think would be too difficult to implement as I’d need to track all languages with some placeholder in the vector even though they don’t have tags. And as in B), they certainly wouldn’t stay in order.

                                            Hope that helps explain some of the behavior. I’ll see about changing C) to make the comment more obvious but I don’t think the rest will be fixed anytime soon unfortunately. I just don’t have the skills or time for that kind of re-write.
