@John-Liudr There are some developers working hard to bring Windows 10 “Dark Mode” to Notepad++. You can track progress on this if you’d like by searching the ISSUES LIST for “dark” or “dark mode”. ctrl-tab is displayed in very bright yellow background This might be worth a note to the devs so that they check this feature as part of doing the implementation. So I had to close my eyes when doing ctrl-tab and I can feel the light through my eyelids. LOL. Most people say their eyes are “bleeding”. Here’s an animated short you might enjoy. I like to think of it as when the main character clicks on “light mode” he is actually starting up the current (7.9.5) version of Notepad++.

Hi, @a-former-user, Yes !! That all concerns Notepad++, only ! So, as I said before : Open Notepad++ Copy the text, below, in a new N++ tab ( Ctrl + N ) Leicester Dog and Duck Pub aaaaa 11111 Beefy Cow Steakhouse bbbbb 22222 Snail and Lettuce Pub ccccc 33333 Dukes Head Hotel ddddd 44444 If the last line 44444 does not end with a line-break, hit the Enter key to add one ! Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) SEARCH (?-s)\A([^\t\r\n]+)\R(?s)(.+\R)(?!\t)$|(?-s)(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)(?=(?s:.+\t(.+)\t\z))|^\t.+ REPLACE (?1\2\t\1\t)(?3\7\t\3\t\4\t\5\t\6) Tick the Wrap around option Select the Regular expression search mode Click TWICE on the Replace All button ( Note that, in addition, any subsequent click on the Replace All button does nothing ! ) You will obtain this output : ~~~diff Leicester Dog and Duck Pub aaaaa 11111 Leicester Beefy Cow Steakhouse bbbbb 22222 Leicester Snail and Lettuce Pub ccccc 33333 Leicester Dukes Head Hotel ddddd 44444 Copy these 4 lines in the clipboard ( Ctrl + C ) Open Excel Open a new empty sheet Paste the clipboard’s contents ( Ctrl + V ) in cell A1 You should get a table of 4 rows × 5 columns, with the word Leicester in the first colunum of any row ;-)) Best Regards guy038

Yes, likely the GUP.exe is in use. Try rebooting and run installer again.

Thank you both. Thanks to the above 2 syntax I can rely on it to find any email address with a domain that I need. Since I very often use it to find emails on drive D or E. Previously this work took me quite a lot of time and trouble. Once again thank you 2

@PeterJones Thank you SOOO much!

Thank you @PeterJones for your quick reply and for confirming that it’s a Windows “feature”! I thought that I missed to change something in my Notepad++ configuration, that’s why I asked. As this is my “work” laptop (and the JumpList is working fine for np++ for “normal” files) I don’t want to install too many tools - only those I can justify that I need them for my work. ;) E.g. the plugins for xml and json - they are great! Thanks again!

@PeterJones said in favorite files and recents files sub-menues: Way to make a person feel slow: you got nearly the same information portrayed, in less time, with screenshots no less! Well…(simple) screenshots take less time to make than typing some text, so it was not a great achievement on my part! I certainly wasn’t trying to beat anyone to the punch. :-) I think the “achievement” was in all of the good info we gave the OP, in a very short turnaround time. :-) I guess the one thing I added to the conversation was mentioning the NppFavorites plugin. Yes, so we also got some nice diversity in our replies. :-) I have not tried NppFavorites myself, as the Explorer plugin has always met my “favorites” need. But…looking now I see that favorites is really all I use Explorer for anyway, so maybe I should try “streamlining” functionality and dumping Explorer in favor of NppFavorites… Hmm, will that outweigh the “hates change” feeling I have? Hmmm. I always like it when I can reply with something I’ve used and had success with. I will reply and point out a plugin that I haven’t used, but only if I don’t have anything else to recommend, and I try to give a disclaimer to the “haven’t tried, but know of…” variety.

@Tak-Li That is currently (where currently = up to and including 7.9.5) not possible. The workaround is to let it go “too far” and then press Ctrl+z and then Ctrl+Shift+z. This will “undo” the most recent replacement (the one you wanted to stop at) and then “redo” the replacement (and leave the caret at the location of the replacement).

there is lots of site to provide best text styel symbols and notpad++ is the best text editor i ever use but if you use symbols just https://freefirenamestyle.com/

I can confirm this as of version 7.9.5. This is the scenario: Notepad++ is open and has several open tabs, both named (=saved) and unnamed (new nn) files Windows 10 performs an automated reboot as part of a bigger update overnight After logging in, Notepad++ session is lost unnamed files can be found on the backup dir, but there is no trace of what saved files were open Notepad++ can remember the session if I manually reboot the win10. Would it make sense to backup the complete session information also every time the backup is performed? Thanks,

thank you so much my windows notepad is working now

I thought so. Thanks for your help yet again.

Thanks once again. I really appreciate it

That is super helpful. Thanks you guys so much!!

Hello, @donniel-collera, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All, May be do this quick task, described in the post, below, just to verify if your keyboard parameters are OK ;-)) https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/29704 Best Regards, guy038

@Jose-Emilio-Osorio How to insert Carriage Return “CR” before “LF” at the end of each line ? They are probably already there and you need to do exactly nothing to insert them. If you are “unconfident” that Notepad++ is doing this for you, press the “Pilcrow” toolbar button…the one with this symbol on it: In the Notepad++ toolbar, it is blue in color, not black. With that toolbar button in the depressed state, you will see the CR and LF in a Windows file, example:
