@Alexander-Huckel ,

Sorry, I am not sure about the automatic translation of your question: do you mean auto-correction, where it fixes spelling? Or auto-completion, where it helps you type programming keywords or other terms already found in your document?

The latter is native to the app, described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/ in the manual , and controlled by the settings described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#auto-completion

Spelling correction is not implemented natively in Notepad++, but the DSpellCheck plugin is highly recommended for doing spell check and suggesting corrections.

I had the same issue but didn’t investigate the involvement of plugins. The issue appeared after changing the Dark Mode to “Follow Windows”.

After switching the preference back and forth and restarted Notepad++, the issue was fixed.
Steps: Settings > Preferences > Dark Mode > Light mode / Dark mode / Follow Windows > Restart Notepad++

@Sergio-Bonfiglio ,
Sorry, don’t have the time to research and provide an answer that is obvious after reading the documentation.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Insert sequential numbers at start of lines:

editor.replaceLine(line_nbr, '{n}) {c}'.format(n=chr(96+running_line_nbr), c=line_content))

Thank you! I had tried editing that line myself but I didn’t quite get it right. It’s all good now thanks to you 😁

There seems to be such a code-folding regression in N++ v8.7.8, for more info and possible future fix watch the issue #16597.

@Alexander-Vorobyov

It will be easier for others on the forum to help you if you share debug info (?->Debug Info from the Notepad++ main menu).

I seem to recall that the specific problem of Notepad++ overwriting files with a lot of NUL characters was fixed a long time ago, but I’m not super familiar with this topic.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Help with a... distant replacement?:

@HeyImAName-HeyImALastName

Wow, that is really non-trivial.
But I’d say to try starting with this regular expression replacement:

Find: (?-s)^(\t*"(.+?)": "\$\[{2}.+?\]{2}).+?,
Replace: ${1}$[["${2}"]]",

Wow, that looks like absolute gibberish to me, I can’t decipher it in the slightest. But I tried it and it worked perfectly! Thanks for your help, and everyone else who replied.

@Terry-R

Thank-you Terry, I turned of the option for DrictWrite in the rendering, and now i can see my documents.

Such a strange option to give me a problem after so may years of using notepad.

Have a great day!

I concur. Has anyone ever asked for (specifically) not touching sessions.xml when -openSession/File > Load Session… is active?

No, not really, its a shame.

@PeterJones
Thanks for your repply

But when i select a language and i setup it the next tine that i setup the program check automaticaly the last language that i checked for use in these language
If i setup the program as default the language doesn’t install other languages

@hemanti0503 said in Documentation on upgrading Portable npp:

Unpack fresh download to new folder
Adjust config files in old npp folder

Correct.

Now, why should I copy the old npp.exe to the new folder (replacing the new exe)?

You shouldn’t. That was a mistake in the documentation.

Also what about all my plugins?

What do you mean, what about the plugins? Since you are copying the new version into the original directory, your plugins are all still there. New versions of plugins plugins don’t come with the portable version, true, so there’s nothing to copy from; but they also don’t automatically come with the installed version, either, so that’s behaving no different. After doing your upgrade of Notepad++, run the Plugins Admin and upgrade any plugins it tells you need updates.

Maybe it’s a typo in the doc, and it should read copy … from the new to the old

Yes

Did nothing else change in the new version other than the exe (and that nppPluginList.dll)?

Config files were explained; executable and DLL were explained (though with an accidental order swap); what else do you think there might be that could change?

@W-D-Smith said in NotePad++ preview plugin? I can't find it.:

I’m told I have to have a preview plug in so I can open my page in NotePad++ to see how it looks. I absolutely cannot find this plugin. I just downloaded NotePad, and I’m completely lost. I had tried to use CoffeeCupHTML but it was complete rip-off.

If you are trying to write an HTML page in Notepad++, you can use one of the options in View | View Current File In to see how it renders in your browser.

If you are looking for a rendering within Notepad++, you can get Preview HTML from the built-in Plugins Admin:

Save any open files you want to keep. Select Plugins | Plugins Admin… from the main menu. Scroll down to Preview HTML and check the box to the left of that entry. Click the Install button near the top right of the dialog. Once Notepad++ restarts, open an HTML file and then access the menu for the plugin at Plugins | Preview HTML. (Check the first menu item to turn it on.)

I don’t use that plugin myself, so I can’t tell you much more about it, but no doubt others here can. It looks as if it exclusively uses Internet Explorer rendering, which is a bit out-of-date these days.

If you are looking for something that will let you edit directly in the rendered page, so that you edit how you want it to look and don’t concern yourself with HTML code/tags (what-you-see-is-what-you-get), that is not possible in Notepad++.

@Hugo-Martinez-Jara said in Notepad++ cloud:

Hi,
Is there a Notepad++ cloud service?
I’d love to save notes, ideas, or logs in .txt from different devices.
No one, as far as I know, has this solution.
As long as the current Notepad++ UX (in my opinion, the best) is respected.
I’m willing to collaborate in any way, whether by contributing work or financially.
Of course, I don’t speak English.
Writing in English is no problem (ChatGpt)
Thanks

Hugo,

Si tienes algo como Google Drive, puedes configurar tu propio sistema en la nube, y Notepad++ se adapta a eso, permitiéndote configurar una configuración en la nube que copiará tus archivos a esa unidad.

¿Para qué gastar dinero si no es necesario?

Si no es compatible con tu versión de Notepad++, simplemente lee y traduce el manual en línea para aprender cómo.

Traducción de Google Translate

English -
Hugo,

As long as you have something like GoogleDrive, you can setup your own cloud system, and Notepad++ accomodates that, by allowing you to setup a cloud setup, that will copy your files to that cloud drive.

Why create a cost for yourself if you don’t have to?

Just read and translate the online manual if it’s not native in your Notepad++ version to learn how.

Your question lacks any substance with which to help you.

Please read our FAQ post here.

You will need to supply far more information before anyone can really help you.

Terry

Great! I had tried that but did wait for the “shadow” to appear. Thank you very much for your help.

@Terry-R

Thank you!

@MAPJe71 I like your solution. Unfortunately I get all comment lines from my (python) code fences into the function list. I tried some things without success, it seems that my skills in regex are limited.
