<![CDATA[Something got changed, how do I revert it]]>If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve been using Ctrl+J of notepad ++ for years now. To change a column list to a line:
123
456
789
then highlight, do Ctrl+J gives me this: 123 456 789
when I hit Enter key to go to the new line, it changes my input to this:
123 456 789
( 123, 456, 789 )
What the devil is this macro/auto complete/plug-in/setting that got enabled and how to disable it? Honestly I’ve scoured the google and the notepad++ forums for the solution, but it’s really not conducive for the search engines to accept an explanation like above. That’s why I’m here, hoping someone here knows how to “fix” this. Thank you very much!

However, not all plugins are in both places. nppcalc.dll was only in C:\ProgramFiles(x86)…

I guess this could be if some older installation was updated with a much newer version.
My understand it is that as long as Local Conf mode : OFF is set,
the configuration, plugins … will be read from %APPDATA% and in case
of Local Conf mode : ON npp is looking to the directories next to its executable.

The keyboard shortcut for that Ctrl+Shift+C.
Not impossible to accidentally hit that key combo. Which must be what I’ve done.
Thanks again to all for your insight and help!

This was it. I’ve renamed nppcalc.dll to NO_nppcalc.dll and behaviour stopped! Yes!
Interestingly enough. My plugins are in two places on my machine.

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins

and here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins

However, not all plugins are in both places. nppcalc.dll was only in C:\ProgramFiles(x86).…

This community is the best!!!

Hi people:

It sounds as something the NPPCalc plugin could do.

Hmmm, maybe disable ALL plugins and give it another try?

I would do the following,

  • stop npp
  • rename the following directories in your
    %APPDATA%\notepad++\plugins directory
    NppCalc -> NO_NppCalc
    XBrackets -> NO_XBrackets
    combine -> NO_combine
  • start npp and see if it still is an issue.
    If so, go on with the procedure until you find the plugin causing it.

mimeTools, NppConverter, NppExport are standard one which I think
aren’t problematic. I use ComparePlugin as well and don’t have the issue.

It says plugin is not active. Sadly the behaviour still exists. I’ve actually also un-installed it and still. :(

I mean, c’mon, low-hanging fruit is the easiest to pick, right !! :-)

I guess you have some plugin installed doing this for you, could this be?
If you post your debug-info we might be able to assist in identifying
which one it is. Debug info is available from the ? menu, the last menu item.
