When you select some text or all contents of a file and execute the Edit > Line Operations > Split Lines option : The View > Word wrap must be OFF The View > Show Symbol must be OFF And, because I’m currently away from my Notepad++ and can’t try it myself, why are these "must be OFF"s?

Don’t worry I googled it.

Hi, @thomas-knoefel and All, For these Search Results : Search "Fi" (27 010 hits in 646 file(s)) [1 153 file(s) searched], I got, successively, using your valuable instructions : 1 m 13 s 78, then 1 m 10 s 85 and finally 1 m 11 s 06 when LoadThreads="auto" 1 m 25 s 78 and 1 m 26 s 39 when LoadThreads="0" 1 m 09 s 54 and 1 m 09 s 55 when LoadThreads="8" So, the two tests with LoadThreads="8" seem very slightly better !? Note that : From Laptop documentation, my processor is an Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 2.80 Ghz (up to 4.7 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology ) 12 MB L3 cache, 4 cores 8 logical processors From informations système, I saw for Processeur : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz, 2803 MHz, 4 cœur(s), 8 processeur(s) logique(s) Total installed RAM : 32 Gb This explain why I wanted to test with 8 threads. But, may be this assumption is not pertinent ! ? Best Regards, guy038

@Steven-Guillemet said: Hopefully this will let Notepad++ ditch its current method Until that patch has effectively 100% deployment, Notepad++ should not change its implementation, otherwise it breaks something that currently works for anyone who hasn’t applied that fix. (If there’s a way to make the two methods coexist peacefully, or if there’s a way the installer can test the version and use the appropriate alternative, then that’s great. But if not, then breaking a feature to support bleeding edge is a bad idea)

That’s a clever little experiment! I never really thought about using regular expressions to represent mathematical patterns like multiples of 3, but it makes sense when you look at the binary sequence. Definitely a fun way to explore just how powerful regex can be beyond ordinary text searching.

@vivek-viv , Unfortunately, there are an unknown number of “programming languages” or “data file languages” in the world, and no text editor can syntax-highlight 100% of them out-of-the box. Apex is not available in the syntax-highlighter library that Notepad++ uses, and until it is, it will never be in the upper portion of the Language list. To get it added: A feature request would have to be put into Lexilla, and then the Lexilla team, or external volunteer, would have to code up that lexer, and they would have to accept it, bundle it with the library; then Notepad++ could update to use a version with that, and then and only then, Notepad++ could be updated to enable and list the Apex language in the default menu. I’m not saying it’s impossible… just that it’s not likely to be fast. If Apex were similar enough to another language, then, in theory, the Apex language could be mapped to use the that existing language’s lexer, but given its own list of keywords. However, Notepad++ has the User Defined Language (“UDL”) feature, which allows you to define a keyword-based syntax highlighting – so you can put in various lists of keywords, operators, folding-keywords, and delimiter pairs, and get it to do a reasonable job of highlighting simple syntax in your language. The User Defined Language page, and all the UDL > pages in the manual’s table of contents below it, describe how to use the UDL system. There’s also a community-contributed User Defined Language Collection, where people can share UDL definitions that they’ve made, or find ones to use for themselves. I don’t see Apex there… but if you created one, you could share it there, so that other Apex users I did a quick search, and if this is the Apex you are talking about, then it looks similar to YAML (builtin) – so maybe trying to use the YAML lexer might be an initial workaround. And google search AI tells me that the HAML uses a similar structure – there is a UDL in the Collection for HAML, so you might be able to use that as a reference for how to get something like what you want for Apex. No guarantees, but it’s a starting point…

JsonTools v8.6 is now available for download (it’s not up on the Plugins Admin yet, pending my PR to NppPluginList). Major changes: Fixed potential for Notepad++ to hang or crash due to: RemesPath queries with a for loop over an empty array Maliciously crafted schemasToFnamePatterns.json config file RemesPath queries that generate too-deep JSON (which previously could have caused stack overflow) List of 16 most recently used unique RemesPath queries (stored in config file, accessible by menu command) New control in JSON to CSV form, allowing columns to be listed in the order that they occurred in the first record, rather than in alphabetical order

@PeterJones Good info on StyleID, thanks.

Regex is definitely the way to go for this kind of filename cleanup in Notepad++. It’s great how a simple search-and-replace can handle a whole list of filenames at once instead of renaming each one manually. Just make sure to test it on a few files first to avoid any unexpected changes.

For the reference: I’ve created https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/18554.

@Adam-Harrington , First you can search your Registry file for that phrase E:\Portables\Notepad++.exe %1 or just notepad++ and look for the key/value pairs you find and change them to the new location of your Notepad++ directory. Or search this forum and the FAQ’s list for this information. I searched mine and found it with just “notepad++”

@rdipardo said: I would point only out that the documented return value of NPPM_GETCURRENTSCINTILLA is not supported by the actual implementation; the FALSE-returning code path contradicts the statement that this API “Returns always True [sic]”. Technically so, though the FALSE value only happens when the caller sends an invalid parameter (LPARAM null, when it should be a pointer to an int). There’s also the additional result value of -1, which is documented, but which a comment in the code says “cannot happen”; the equivalent doesn’t exist in NPPM_GETCURRENTVIEW. What troubled me, though, was that the two calls base their responses on different things. I made some attempt to search the code. As best I could tell, the connection between Notepad_plus::_pEditView and Notepad_plus::_activeView is… haphazard. Even though they sound like they represent the same information in different forms (an integer that represents the main or secondary view as 0 or 1, and a pointer to one of two ScintillaEditView structures that represent the main and secondary views), I can’t “prove” that they always change together. So I cannot be certain that they do not represent different information, used for different purposes. If NPPM_GETCURRENTVIEW were meant merely to supersede the older, clumsier-to-use NPPM_GETCURRENTSCINTILLA, one would expect it to have been based on the same code (if for no other reason, for clarity). I couldn’t find any explanation of why this call was created or what problem it was meant to solve. So I was hoping perhaps someone would know and remember the rationale for the newer call and/or the purposes of the two different variables on which the calls are based, and could tell me either “they’re the same thing, use whichever you like” or “here is the situation in which they can return different results.”

The RC will be available before October 30. Sorry for the delay.

@steeve-wick , That’s almost a direct quote of what I said a month ago. Were you trying to add new information?

@Screen-White said: I also contribute to that resource We do not allow links to fancy text generators here: every topic that has any becomes a honeypot for more such links, getting low quality posts that pretend to be responses but are actually just spam advertising. If you have something meaningful to say about Notepad++, feel free. But if you post another link to your fancy text generator website(s), you will be banned for spamming.

@Lycan-Thrope said: Did you make the change permanent No. I made an Issue, so Don can fix it. I don’t have write access to the main website. Update: Oh, I see, after I went through the approvals, that @myfancytextgenerator already guessed that mine was just an issue.

@Keith-Collyer said: Following a comment chain, I ended up adding a request to the markdig library here: https://github.com/xoofx/markdig/issues/952 Just an update for anybody following this thread: the feature request to implement wireloom was rejected by Markdig, the rendering library used by MarkdownPanel; it’s still possible for the plugin to implement the feature independently — without needing the WebView2 runtime — by back-porting a static copy of the wireloom.js module to the obsolete JavaScript standard that Internet Explorer supports; a working example of such a workflow can be found here; in the meantime, Preview HTML can now render Markdown and wireloom in Internet Explorer (version 11 )¹˙: [image: 1792597807908-preview_html_v148_ie11.gif] ¹˙ For Windows 7 users, that means ensuring update KB2841134 is installed, and “View as IE11” has been selected on the plugin menu: [image: 1792597754475-preview_html_win7_ie11_mode.png]
