    Hi All,

Below is a sample entry.
Is there a list of the values for ‘type’, ‘message’, etc.?
I’d like to be able to edit this file.

Thanks!

@pbook,

Unfortunately, that documentation has not be transferred into the new docs location.

Fortunately, the Wayback Machine will help: look here

Some of the links in that archived page will be out of date:

When type="0" or type="1", the message="..." value comes from Scintilla.iface
When type="2", the wParam is the Notepad++ action ID for a given command. If you look in your installation’s ...\localization\english.xml (or language of choice), the item id="...." will list the appropriate value for each command.
When type="3" for search/replace macros, I believe the message="..." numbers come from FindReplaceDlg_rc.h

When type=“3” for search/replace macros

I had a look at the new docs and these (the type 3) actually are well-defined in the new docs, in the Searching section.

Oh, right… I’d forgotten that
https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/searching/#searching-actions-when-recorded-as-macros was recently added…

To find the value of the wParam tag one could use my NppUISpy plugin. I made it especially for that purpose as a tool for plugin developers and power users.

Thanks. I think this’ll do what I need. Mostly I want to decipher macros I recorded.

Very useful plugin, used it to see what the Set Language command was. Thanks
