      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!

        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.

          this is what I’ve copied out of the debug menu item. Not sure how to read effectively though…

            @romanml71 I would seriously suspect XBrackets !!

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

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

                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.

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

                      Hi people:

                      It sounds as something the NPPCalc plugin could do.

                        @astrosofista Thank you! and all others as well, Thank you! 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!!!

                            Ultimately, inside the Plugins\NppCalc menu path, Active Calc option was enabled. 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!

                              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.
