New release: Notepad++ v8.1.4

General Account

Hey, great job with the release, but can we please get back “Standard icons: Large”? Not everyone likes Fluent UI (even in large) :)

Ctrl+Shift+F5 is a long awaited feature!!!
lol, i use date as version and this was annoying to not have it built-in.

Thank you a lot!
Have a very nice day!

Hmmm. There’s no feature tied to Ctrl+Shift+F5. Try to get your facts correct before posting.

close tag auto-completion should cover PHP and jsp files too (not only html and xml files)

hi guys, thank you very much for this fabulous text editor.
I think that close tag auto-completion should cover PHP and jsp files (not only html and xml files).
the reason behind this: html tags are used in abundance inside PHP and jsp file

thank you very much

To quote Peter from above:

As far as I can tell, the behavior is nothing new to Notepad++ v8.1.4, so the question doesn’t really belong in this thread. This topic is for regressions – changes of behavior that came about in v8.1.4 that weren’t present in previous versions.

thank you for your remark

Whenever the window of Notepad++ is started or restored after minimizing, Notepad++ does not check if the remembered coordinates are still valid (e.g. after changing screen resolution, switching off an external monitor on a laptop etc.). So the window can be restored to an invisible coordinate.

Getting the Notepad++ window back into the viewport is hard (my solution: Change another programs’ window with Windows+CursorLeft, so Windows will ask for a window to be displayed on the right side, chose Notepadd++)

@Tom-Stein Thanks for the tip about Win+Cursor to move a window between monitors (I’d never heard of that before). This helps when one of the monitors uses DVI-D which has no way of telling Windows that the monitor is switched off **. Another way to put Notepad++ onto an available screen without the “ask to put on the right side” question is to click on it on the taskbar, or ALT+TAB to select NotePad++, and then use WIN+Cursor to move Notepad++ over to a powered screen.
** So the issue can never be fully solved, since some display connection protocols have no physical way to tell Windows that a monitor isn’t switched on.

A Very Happy Notepad++ user for many years … Thanks!

As of this morning, Notepad++ refuses to open properly. I get a window that remains all white, then a “Not responding” error message, and have to kill the process.

I’m running Windows 10, OS Build 19043.1237.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@Robert-Wilkins ,

See if the suggestions in the recent “Notepad++ Not Respondong” discussion help you.

After the update, I lost all open documents and settings that I did .
