      the truth you want the truth, well - no idea.

      I didn’t check the source code yet - found it by trail and error and
      still don’t understand when and how it is working but from the examples
      (sourceforge thread) provided I see that this might be a solution.

      Cheers

        if you haven’t already installed the python script plugin, then please
        install it from here instead of using
        the plugin manager.

        The script looks like this

        WIN_EOL = 45001                                                                                    # command id edit->eol conversion->windows
        UNIX_EOL = 45002                                                                                   # command id edit->eol conversion->unix 
        MAC_EOL = 45003                                                                                    # command id edit->eol conversion->mac
        
        TEXT_INSERT = 1                                                                                    # editor constants
        TEXT_DELETE = 2                                                                                    # editor constants

        notepad.callback(callback_BUFFERACTIVATED, [NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED ])                        # register buffer activated callback 
        editor.callback(callback_MODIFIED,[SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.MODIFIED])                                # register modify callback 
        

        I hope the comments are clear, basically, every time you open a new file or you switch
        a tab it get’s checkd if the file is an ada file by checking it extensions (see code).
        If it is and you start modifying the code it checks if windows eol is used and if not
        script sets it. If you save the file, it gets checked what the original eol was and then it
        resets the eol.

        If you create a new script with name startup.py and put the content into it
        and you change the python script configuration from LAZY to ATSTARTUP, then
        the script gets automatically executed every time you start npp.

        If you create a new script with a different name, you need to execute it manually once
        every time you start npp.

        Let me know if something is unclear.

        Cheers
        Claudia

          Peter, now I know why it worked because type and subtype is also configured
          as keywords. So my workaround seems to be non-working, just another
          coloring rule is active.

          Cheers

            I have added today the python script and seems that is not solving the problem :(

            I have upload a video example of the real problem… the bug u can see in the video is totally random… in any sentence suddenly tha open/close folding mark just is in a wrong place… and just creating new lines it auto fix it… and when you remove those new lines again the mark keeps in the correct place… so strange…

            Video url --> https://youtu.be/xZZxKMRjU0w

            Many thanks !!!

              the script itself doesn’t do any folding operations it just modifies the eols.
              So the bug seems not to be solved by using windows eol therefore
              the script isn’t helping either.

              Unfortunately there is no way python script can interact with lexers in
              a safely manner.

              Cheers

                  See https://ivan-radic.github.io/udl-documentation/ for the current docu and https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/2713 regarding status of UDL 3

                      No status as far as I know and no timeschedule. Maybe in your case it makes sense to checkout https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/ci/fba1e8c31818fc1b38fc1b1ba3a200f40ef568f9/log/?path=/lexers/LexAda.cxx and checkout for an update there as scintilla is the basis for n++, but the update cycle of scintilla for n++ is quite slow.

                        There are no code folding / function list support at all in scintilla or notepad++ that’s why I am trying to do it by myself using the “user custom lang definition” and udl but udl is useless with ADA :(.

                        Would be nice if udl3 fix this kind of problems… But I am not sure after these years if udl3 will be realease any day…

                        Thanks for the info.

                          ADA is not the only reason for UDL3. Generally UDL’s generally don’t work well with different themes and UDL3 is said to help with that, too: https://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331754/thread/bd2bc405/#757b
