Undo & Redo: Strange Behavior in NPP
-
I thought I was in Word. I wanted to insert the n-dash. I pressed Ctrl± (minus on the numeric pad). Strangely, Npp changed the font in the file (in all opened files, actually). Holy smokes. I pressed Ctrl-Z to undo; Npp just deleted my last sentence (before pressing Ctrl±). I pressed Redo on toolbar. Npp jumped a few lines up in the current file.
I repeated Undo/Redo a few more times trying to revert to the state before I tried that “cursed” sentence! The font remained as undesirable. Closed and restarted Npp. The look of Npp was what I did not want. I tried to change the font in Style Configurator to no avail. Npp stubbornly refuses (like its author :)) to accept my font!!!
How can I go back to my configuration? Thank you for any help (no regex or python, please!)
But, hey, it’s free beer, right?

As in most other programs using control and minus changes the zoom…which is exactly what happened with Notepad++. The font didn’t change at all. Use
View > Zoom > Restore Default Zoom -

Hey, thank you! I realized later it was the behavior of zooming in a browser. I pressed Ctrl+Numeric+ and the font became readable again. There are so many, many features in this editor… and NO help facility at all! Npp needs a BIG manual. Any Good Samaritan here? We can’t count on the author… that’s a guarantee! -
You can always take it upon yourself to become the Good Samaratin and write one. ;)
