I think that different segments of the population live there. Some people don’t care who is their boss, who collects taxes, Taiwan or China. For others it is important. For example, in this situation, they occupy high positions and rule a country or city, so it is important for them to maintain their dominance. If this is a programmer, then perhaps they have a good income now, but are not sure what will happen to them in the future. Therefore, there are people who are indifferent and there are people who want everything to remain the same.

@wzpwzp-nggngg you’re just full of propaganda. They simply didn’t tell you that before the skating rink rolled in the opposite direction, the regime that came as a result of the coup d’etat had been killing Russians in the eastern part of Ukraine for 8 years. Russia stood up for them. The fact that you tie this to one person is very mistaken, our whole country is against your fascists. At least read the history of the development of the conflict, instead of watching your TV.

You’re like Hitler, who probably wondered why he was attacked in May 1945.

Find information about who in the UN did not vote against the glorification of fascism, you will be very surprised.

Maybe I’m missing something but it seems to work for me as well.

@PeterJones said in Style Configurator / Theme -> (active) Tab color:

Themes are primarily about the colors inside the text-editing area, so that’s where the development focus was; the GUI elements are mostly not controlled by the theme, but by the dark-mode/light-mode.

Thank you for the reply. Too bad I can’t share the complete theme then. I just realized that I’ll have to copy my config.xml (appdata/roaming/notepad++/) to make the theme complete.
Well, at least I typed everything down, where and what I need to change, in case I reinstall windows.

Thanks for thinking with me ;)

@PeterJones. Thank you very much for your assistance. I will get my software management team to grab the correct installer.

@Jon-Pugh said in F7 should toggle:

Is there a reason that F7 only shows the Search Results window instead of toggling it?

The reason is “design decision”. Specifically, because the first F7 will show the window and move your focus there (so keyboard commands affect the search results, not your active editor view), and the second F7 will move the focus (and keyboard control) back to the editor, without closing the Search Results. This is highly important to people who want to be able to swap the focus easily back-and-forth between the editor and the search results.

As is, you need to use the mouse to close it.

No, you don’t. F7 will show the window, ESC will close it while your focus is in the search results. So you can still close it with the keyboard.

Seems like it would be simple and sensible to make it a toggle.

The developer chose to use the “toggle” portion of F7 to toggle focus, not toggle visibility, which is also sensible: just because it’s not your preferred pairing doesn’t make it not sensible.

@PeterJones said in Function list for vbs (visual basic script):

We told you exactly what you needed to know four years ago…

Sometimes we waste a lot of time trying to help people here that just “don’t get it”. :-(

To future readers,

To expand on what @Alan-Kilborn said,

There are already instructions for “Function List” in the user manual

@Kanesaga’s post was not only probably trying to spam (I just deleted the poorly-inserted link – to a site completely unrelated to Notepad++ or FunctionList – which fortunately, the anti-spam measures prevented from being a hidden link), but also appears to be the instructions for the pre-v7.9.1 single-functionList.xml, instead of for the v7.9.1-and-newer that the original poster was asking about 4 years ago.

Please understand that the instructions given in that recent post are out of date, and will not work on modern Notepad++ versions. As was said four years ago, the answer to the original question was just a slight tweak to the overrideMap.xml file.

@PeterAdam said in Cannot type " [ " - left square bracket.:

Developers, please avoid Ctrl + Alt hotkeys, or at least make a “Do not use Ctrl + Alt hotkeys” option in your text editor.

Notepad++ is such a mature product, and so many keycombos are already taken, that IMO new features should not have a new keycombo invented and assigned for them, instead relying on end users to pick something and assign it themselves.

Thanks @PeterJones @xomx for responding i have subscribed to both the #9209 and #1104. Thanks for pointing me out to those existing issues.

@rddim
I will make as large as possible for some checkbox (without enlarging the dialog width) in the next release. Please find other shorter words or the abbreviation for the translation.

@Max-Alekseyev ,

The default lists of the languages and their default keywords are in langs.xml

Your custom colors and user-defined keywords are in stylers.xml or your theme file.

@Richard-Darwin

How do I persist the colour?

You can export (but not import back to N++!) “what you see in N++” to the rich text format (or html) and continue in a WP-SW (WordPad, MS Word etc).

@PeterJones Excellent! Thank you, that worked like magic.

@PeterJones “look into Ditto settings to see if it can just populate the main clipboard from your actions rather than sending the PASTE action to another application.”

Yes, it can be set that way but it is a productivity tool, why press ctrl+v after I have already decided what to paste in Ditto?

@Coises “changing focus to a combo box anywhere in Windows normally selects the entire content. So that part isn’t strange.” - it is expected and desired, but I am already in the Replace with textbox, not in the Find what one.

Also, you may try Win+V in Windows 10+, but it’s history is deleted on shutdown; and it does not place the last used item to the top of the list (quite annoying during mass replacing many text to a single one, the single one sunks in the list, so sometimes after a time, it is easier to type it again).
It uses a different mechanism, so it works with N++ even now.

Thanks for creating an issue and a fix!

@mkupper said:

With one exception, the Notepad++ project has never had the concept of maintaining old versions.
The exception is that while version 7 was the first 64-bit release the project continues build and and make available for download X86 or 32-bit executables

I don’t see how offering a 32-bit release along with a 64-bit release qualifies as “maintaining old versions”. It’s merely a “choice” for the user for a specific version.

You might also be able to achieve this with the query

@..stamina = 9999; @..speedModifier = 2

in the JsonTools plugin.

In this case a regex-based solution as described by Thomas Knoefel will work fine, but if you want more control over how you manipulate your JSON, a JSON parser like JsonTools is likely a better option.

@garrett-carey said in Question(s):

Also is it possible to restore tabs (not sure what happened but all my tabs I had opened went away.

Notepad++ itself does not have a built-in mechanism to archive copies of its configuration or settings files. Notepad++ stores all of its configurations/settings in plain text files.

The list of tabs is stored in the session.xml file. If you maintain backups of your computer then restore the version of session.xml that has the list of tabs that you are interested in.
