@Michael-Vincent said in Notepad++ v7.9.4 released:
On Win32, the numeric keypad with Alt pressed can be used to enter characters by number. This can produce unexpected results in non-numlock mode when function keys are assigned. Potentially problematic keys like Alt+KeypadUp are now ignored. Bug #2152.
That is the answer !
I try the shift-alt-cursor non numeric keypad -> work
I try the shift-alt-cursor numeric keypad -> dont workLooks like from now on I have to change my way to use the cursors in notepad plus.
Just curious: So it may happen also in an standard desktop computer numeric keypad? (Dont have one to test)Thank you!

Yes definitely. I’ve tested such with my external keyboard and reported on the Notepad++ issue I first referenced. It is definitely a Scintilla issue based on the “bug fix” they reference in 4.3.1.
Cheers.

It is an “issue” but didn’t they decide to “fix” it by just not allowing column selecting via using the shared arrows on the numeric keypad? That isn’t really a “fix” but as I have never used those keys to make a column block, it doesn’t bother me.
@Grenville-Tryon-0 If you’d have just answered my question when I first asked it, it would have saved a lot of pointless back-and-forth here!

This thread is for suspected problems specifically with the 7.9.4 release.
Please ask your question (whatever that is) by creating a new thread.
Also, if you’re going to re-ask it, do so in a manner that clearly conveys what you mean. Since this is an English-speaking forum (historically), ask in English and preferably post screenshots in the English translation of Notepad++ – if you want the best help to be provided.

You are right: I though i answer all the questions but missed that one. Appreciate the extra effort.

I would expect those of you working in IT forensics to know that you could just rename the file to .txt (or no extension) to load the contents in Notepad++
And that is what we did as a work-around. It was more of an unpleasant surprise than anything else when it first occurred, whereas previously the binary/text data was available to parse.
I wouldn’t mind if there was an option to disable that, but I would lobby that it should follow .lnk files by default, and only edit the link contents if you change the option (maybe even making it a “hidden option”), because I would think the vast majority of users would expect Windows links to work like links, like they do in other Windows applications – and the principal of least-surprise is important for most users.
I would be fine with that as an option.

This open issue might be of interest to you.

How do I turn off the auto-indent for braces in JSON, is there an option somewhere?

for braces in JSON
Not for JSON specifically, it’s all or nothing:
Settings => Preferences => Auto-Completion => Auto-indent
Cheers.
