@arnaud-derette said in Terminal window in a N++ tab: i think i get it : It does not handle correctly 4K screen. That does not surprise me. Notepad++ is still not great for high-DPI environments, and it’s been taking a long time to finish some of the last-remaining high-DPI issues. And if the main app, with lots of contributors, still has issues, then it should come as no surprise that the plugins, which usually only have one developer (if they remain interested), whose skillset usually focuses on the feature that their plugin implements, rather than on the generics of all the edge cases of modern win32 coding. (At least, I know that’s true for me on my plugin(s).) I don’t have a High-DPI environment, so I don’t know and can’t test for you, but maybe the NppExec plugin handles high-DPI better than NppConsole does (whether the original, or the intermediate fork)

@William-Fields said in Curse of the Curly Quotes: When pasting code into NP++ from another source, no matter what I do, if the source has curly quotes, the pasted content has curly quotes. Right. That’s because the curly quote characters have different codepoints from ASCII quotemarks. It’s doing the right thing. If you want to convert, then use a regular expression: FIND = [“”] REPLACE = " SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression REPLACE ALL change all curly quotes to straight quotes when opening documents or pasting content There’s no such command or option in Notepad++, because that would be Notepad++ changing characters from one codepoint to another without user interaction, which is the antithesis of text editing https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/102348 The Direct Write ligature-effects from the post you showed is just the fonts changing the appearance of characters based on font ligature rules, but the underlying characters that Notepad++ is presenting are the exact same characters as found on disk. On the other hand, the curly quotes that you are copying and pasting are different characters from the ASCII quote.

@martin-honnen , Please be careful when forking and keeping the original name for an apparently-abandoned plugin. Sometimes, it turns out it wasn’t as abandoned as thought – something like that happened with NppConsole plugin (as obliquely mentioned in a recent Topic here): a few years ago, it appeared abandoned, so a regular here took the source code, and made their own fork, but kept the original name (thinking it would be safe, because it appeared to be no longer supported in the original channel); but then, fast forward a few more years, and the original author did provide their own upgrades to the original plugin – so now there are two competing development paths, each having version numbers not present in the chain for the other, which will make any future questions in the forum confusing, as to which NppConsole plugin is actually being talked about. Similarly, if morbac ever decides to come back to the plugin, then your fork and the original could have conflicting and/or confusing version numbers and naming. I would highly recommend coming up with your own name for your product, if you are planning to continue development and support on your version of the plugin. If it’s really just a one-off thing, and you aren’t planning on future bugfixes/improvements/support, then it’s up to you whether it’s worth the rename; but if you want to continue to work on the plugin, then I’d suggest the rename. OTOH: if you can get permission from @morbac to take over completely, then it’s safe to keep the original name, because you’ve got the permission. (It’s most clear, in cases like that, if you can get write permission to the original repo – @chcg was able to do with @bruderstein’s PythonScript, and that sense of continuity makes it more obvious that his is still the “official” PythonScript.)

@PeterJones Ah yah, I understand now. I suppose this is a fine solution, so thank you for that. This still requires some finesse to get in front of the 1st column versus just click+dragging inside the margin, but definitely better than before. 😎

@tauniaxd , I have added the ability to do rgba(0,127,127,0.05)-type colors to the on-demand script at https://github.com/pryrt/nppStuff/blob/main/pythonScripts/nppCommunity/21xxx/21044-ColorizeHtmlCssColors.py [image: 1776539472904-1e6ece19-b4de-4475-b379-0649d96b2d4f-image.png] If you prefer full underline, then change lines 24 and 26 of the script to use INDICATORSTYLE.PLAIN instead of INDICATORSTYLE.DASH [image: 1776539591564-aa370073-5db8-4431-b80e-7ffc21b3c61c-image.png]

@Steve-Plumlee said in Flickering screen on the latest edit that i've made (like a preview of current and previous state): @GM-Bobby-B Hi I am having the same experience. I suspect this is a new “Feature” but I have been unable to determine where the setting is to turn it off. Did you ever figure it out? @Lycan-Thrope Appreciate your FAQ items but I think this is a feature that was added. Maybe one of the dev’s can answer that Forum search didn’t result in any other posts so maybe it’s a plugin or something? No, if the video that the original poster put in reddit last year is realy what you’re seeing, it’s not a “feature”. @Lycan-Thrope linked to the FAQ because the original poster didn’t give enough version information to be any help. And despite thanking him for the link to the FAQ, neither did you. Share your ?-menu’s Debug Info to let us know what version you are using, and many other things that are often relevant to debugging uncommon problems. That user has never come back to this forum since the original post, so never even saw @Lycan-Thrope’s answer. And the people in Reddit just found that changing the caret blink rate in the preferences “fixed” it for them… though that should have nothing to do with what Notepad++ displays. My guess is that it was really a plugin causing the problem, or that the underlying cause is actually something slowing down the entire computer, causing it to refresh Notepad++'s screen at odd times. If you think it might be a plugin, we’ve got a different FAQ which has a section on diagnosing “Possible Culprit: Plugin”: you should follow the steps included there.

@xomx Thank you for pinging! https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/2c1abe0784543e78dbba0f259b0948cf3a08b8cb

@hknet said in Notepad++ release 8.9.3: as usual with a lots of other MSIs we take to the softwareinstallation in the GPO editor, then select “new - package”, select the current npp.8.9.3.Installer.x64.msi file from our GPO deployment path, open it, then select to deploy the package in a customized version (German: Erweitert), but tried all three options in the meantime, all end with the GPO editor reporting that adding the package to the GPO went wrong because the deploymentinformation can not be read (from the package) and we should check if we got the correct softwarepackage… It’s likely that Windows has placed a “Zone.Identifier” alternate data stream on it, marking it as untrusted. If not, please check the network share where npp.8.9.3.Installer.x64.msi is stored has Read permissions for both “Domain Computers” and “Authenticated Users” (or at least your specific admin account).

I also find that OneDrive folders aren’t always turned on when you first log in/start up; that’s why I preferred using network drives over OneDrive. When you first open a OneDrive folder in File Explorer, there should be a button somewhere that toggles the drive.

@Giuseppe-Aiosa-0 said in View only searched lines: is there any function or existing plugin to view/extract only those line which match the tezt search? If you like to experiment, I am working on a plugin for search which includes a Show command that hides all lines and then shows just the ones with matches. It’s still a work in progress, but everyone is welcome to try it and offer bug reports, suggestions and complaints. See this thread for ongoing discussion; go here to find the latest version.

Yes—Notepad++ doesn’t automatically strip HTML, but copying through plain-text mode (like Notepad or Reader View) removes all tags. To retain <p> and <br>, avoid pasting via plain text—either paste directly into Blogger’s HTML view and clean unwanted code manually, or use an HTML cleaner tool to keep only specific tags instead of stripping everything.

@Martin-Bishop said in Notepad++ not responding:. I followed the steps above and was certain it was a new plugin I installed earlier in the day, but the removal of plugin, creating a backup Notepad++ folder in %AppData% and completely uninstalling NP++ before reinstalling it hasn’t fixed anything. For now, the only way to start it is to use the -noPlugin command line argument on my usual shortcut to the program. If using -noPlugin makes it work, that means it’s one of your plugins, or an interaction between multiple plugins, causing the issue. Our freeze/crash/plugin FAQ explains how to try to isolate which plugin is the culprit.

And please don’t forget the easiest solution, just uncheck the option to install the Context Menu Entry during Notepad++ installation. [image: 1775845639874-5769799f-767f-43f8-9077-4fa41520f267-grafik.png]

@Rene-Balduk , Are you in an IT-controlled environment that requires connecting to a proxy to connect to the internet? If so, then you (or someone from IT) will need to launch Notepad++ As Admin, and set ? > Set Updater Proxy to the right value. (127.0.0.1 is your localhost – ie your own computer – and it surprises me that it would be pointing to a proxy on your own machine)

@snafu423 said: since I use the “real” portable version it all works fine And this is the key point of this entire thread!

@Phil-Shearer said in Download Status Page Out of Date: hopefully it will all be good again in a week or two As of 2026-Apr-7 (per this post), v8.9.3 has been triggered for Auto-Update, so ? > Update Notepad++ should see a new version available now.
