@michael-vincent Perfect, thanks! It was set to complete on Tab, but not Enter.

Perfect, thanks! It was set to complete on Tab, but not Enter.
The next update will enable ‘ENTER’ by default, it was considered a bug so the functionality to manually enable was added and by default removed. I personally prefer the new way. It has taken some getting used to, but I vastly prefer using only ‘TAB’ to autocomplete in Notepad++ the same as I do on the command line in PowerShell, in Bash, etc.
Cheers.

To be more precise, it will enable both
EnterandTabby default… but only if your config.xml has not already made a setting forinsertSelectedItemUseENTERinsertSelectedItemUseTAB.If you have set those two entries the way you want them in Notepad++ in v8.2.1-v8.3, but then upgrade, your settings will remain the same without being changed. If you have upgraded to v8.3, and the 8.3-default got written to config.xml, and then you immediately upgrade to a new version (8.4 or whatever it’s called), it will keep the default state from 8.3, and not overwrite it with the default state from 8.4. This is intentional, as the “defaults” only get applied on new installations, when a specific setting is missing from the existing config.xml (for example, an upgrade from v8.0 to v8.4 or whatever it’s called), or when config.xml is missing/deleted and needs to be regenerated from defaults.

I have 2 PCs, an HP Envy desktop and a Dell Inspiron laptop. Both are running Windows 10 Home 21H2.
I’ve updated both to Notepad++ v 8.3 and both have the same plugins installed. However, whenever I start or shutdown NPP on the HP, I get an error that I have to click through to open or close NPP. The error states “An exception occurred due to plugin: nppAutoDetectIndent.dll” and the next line says “Exception reason: Access violation”
If I uninstall nppAutoDetectIndent.dll, I still get the same errors until I delete the nppAutoDetectIndent.dll subfolder. Then, it works without errors.
Please help me as I use NPP quite often and always with Auto Indent enabled.
Thanks,

As I answered here, you will have to contact the owner of the plugin (link provided in the other post) and ask them to fix the plugin to work with v8.3.

When I edit documents locally, it seems stable. But when I edit files remotely in WinSCP the problem comes back and the switch that you tipped over comes in handy. Thanks. -
Hi folks,
i found a bug in the current x64 bit version of notepad++ the silent parameter for the directory relocation (/S /D=d:\otherfolder) does not work.
It is possible to fix this annoying issue?Best regards,

Yes, mea culpa, I am just trying to fix that regression.

Notepad++ v8.3 installed.
When in PHP language, starting to write a command already known, it shows the list. if I see the autocompletion needed, i search with [ARROW UP/DOWN]+[ENTER].
i remember that before, the command was autocompleted.
now, it does a single “chariot return”.for instance, i want to write “public $my_data;”
so let’s start … : “pu”
public is selected, so let press [ENTER]
why do we need to do [CTRL]+[ENTER] to get the same result ? -
It was not Ctrl+Enter before: in previous versions, either the ENTER key or the TAB key would select the active choice from auto-complete. Starting in v8.2.1, the Developers added an option to configure whether it was ENTER or TAB or either (in Settings > Preferences > AutoCompletion); but because the option defaulted to TAB=on and ENTER=off, which changed the default behavior of Notepad++, it has confused a lot of users. You should go to that option, and
☑ ENTER, which will re-enable using ENTER to finish the auto-complete. -
@peterjones Oh, thanks. I was confused because in config page it still showed “Enter” as the key to autocomplete, so I couldn’t understand what was going on. Well this behavior is great anyways, so I’m glad its staying.

which @Hercules-Queiroz-Palombo can confirm using the v8.3.1 Release Candidate

As always, dude, thanks for all your work on this great editor!
Considering the many improvements in 8.3 (and 8.3.1), I don’t understand why v8.2.1 said “no update is available” when I checked from within it. Would more frequent auto-updates require too much bandwidth?

So this is a PERFECT example of exactly why it says no update is available.
8.3+ introduces HUGE file support, which caused a lot of new bugs to be introduced. Developers are working through the bugs, but probably at this point it isn’t a great idea for every single Notepad++ user out there to migrate to these versions. Just my 2c.
