@Omar-A ,

Search has a “regular expression” mode which will be able to search for anything matching a pattern. Since I assume you want to also delete the matching </span> to go with it, then I believe a regex like the following will work:
FIND = <span data-path-to-node[^>]*>(.*?)</span>
REPLACE = $1
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression

That worked on the first three spans in your example (and would’ve worked on the fourth if the final /span> wasn’t missing the <)

@Alan-Kilborn

Thanks for the suggestion, though I think .lineUp() is sufficient for my purposes in this case, since I will need to repeatedly go up the same number of lines, and column isn’t a concern because I’ll always be landing on blank lines.

Hi,
I would like to test your plugin but, unfortunately, I run windows arm-64 and this plugin only runs on x86. Do you think it’s possible to release an ARM version ?
Thank you.

A very old thread I know, but this may help someone else.

I was trying to use Pretty Print to format some MSOffice XML (from a PPT template that had been renamed as a zip). My initial attempts didn’t work “Nothing happened”. I eventually solved the problem when I realised that it wouldn’t work on files still stored in the zip. Notepad++ could read the files and displayed them as 2 looooog lines so I assumed (wrongly) that I could Preetify, edit and write back. In retrospect I should have realised that this was never going to work as the “file” I was working on was a temporary copy.

Solution: Extract the file from the zip (as opposed to view the file in the zip without extracting properly) , Preetify (which worked of course), edit, save, copy back into the zip overwriting the original.

An interesting corollary: Using the Windows Explorer zip functionality to open and view the contents (as opposed to extracting them) which uses a rather long temporary folder prefix - Pretty Print didn’t work.
Using 7Zip which uses a much shorter temporary folder prefix - Pretty Print did work. Obviously, I was still working in a temporary copy which wouldn’t get saved back.

@mpheath. Thank you so much. You found a simple and very effective solution. It works 100 percent. Now I see the desired cursor instead of the black square. Thanks again.

@Javier-Utrilla said in show the current zoom:

something like U | Zoom +10

It’s fine…but why not make the abbreviated encoding MORE descriptive, and the zoom info LESS descriptive. E.g. (just my thinking): U8B |Z+10

@Chec-Pufos ,

Your specs are more vague than you think they are.

Assuming you want to replace any positive integer immediately after that specific I:max= with 987 and any positive integer immediately after that specific I:min= with 654, then it could be done with something like:
FIND = (?-is)(Size\s+{\s*.*\R\s*I:max=)\d+(\s*.*\R\s*I:min=)\d+
REPLACE = ${1}987${2}654
SEARCH MODE = Regular Expression
REPLACE IN FILES

hopefully, you can figure out what to change in order to replace with values other than 987 or 654

highly recommended: always back up your data before trying a regex that someone hands you; always try a new regex on a single file and make sure it behaves as you expect before trying on the full 30 files.

@FreeMeow I goon to Notepad++ :P

@ViniwDOrazio

Yes, when working with multi-line matches enclosed by the same pre- and suffix, you should try to match something unique before the prefix.
If the number of lines is fixed, you could also adjust the offset configuration parameter accordingly.

@PeterJones said in The problem with notepad.runMenuCommand:

Simple and light is often the opposite of universal.

This is often the case, but not always.

@PeterJones said in The problem with notepad.runMenuCommand:

If you solution is “universal enough” for you, fine;

Of course, when there is no ideal option, you have to choose the one that is most suitable for the situation.

@Alan-Kilborn said in The problem with notepad.runMenuCommand:

Good luck achieving all of those all of the time.
Or do you have a “pick any 2” or “pick any 3” type rule? ;-)

Thanks. It happens to everyone at some point ;)
But it must be universal and fast, even if it means making the code complex.

@PeterJones Thanks so much for the quick reply. Installing the release candidate fixed the issue for me. Much appreciated!

@El-Greco-0 ,

The Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab is the “Document Switcher” feature. By default, Settings > Preferences > Misc > Document Switcher has ☑ Enable MRU behavior checkmarked, which turns on Most Recently Used (MRU) order for the Ctrl+Tab order. If that is unchecked, then the Ctrl+Tab order is determined by the order of the tabs in the view, so if you turn off that option and use Window > Sort By > Name A to Z, then Ctrl+Tab will follow alphabetical order.

The reason why Ctrl+Tab defaults to MRU, is because it is often (maybe even mostly) used as the quick/simple “swap between this tab and the last tab I used”, rather than cycling through the entire list. Also, there is a separate set of keystrokes, Ctrl+PageDown for next-tab and Ctrl+PageUp for previous-tab, which already follows the order of tabs in the view (so also affected by the Window > Sort By > … sorting), so it’s already easy to navigate between tabs in the view order by another similar means – so again, it makes sense to default the Document Switcher Ctrl+Tab to use Most Recently Used behavior…

@PeterJones said in HOW Do You Add Keyboard Shortcuts:

Actually, anything in the Scintilla Commands tab of the Shortcut Mapper can have 0 or more shortcuts assigned. It’s not limited to only 2. And it’s not limited to only Copy/Cut/Paste. This is described in the user manual’s Preferences > Shorcut Mapper, specifically in the paragraph that starts with “In the Scintilla commands tab, you can actually assign more than one shortcut to a given Scintilla command”

This might be confusing to @Michael-Neumann, because Cut, Copy and Paste are no longer Scintilla shortcuts; they moved to the Main menu tab, Edit category, as part of the changes that enhanced multiple selections and implemented VS Code-style line cut/copy/paste.

Since the two sets of shortcuts, with X/C/V and with Insert/Delete, are so familiar and either would have been missed, special allowance was made to let those menu items have two distinct shortcuts. No other commands work that way.
