Add the Icon to the toolbar

@Pan-Jan

Well, the main way would be thru the Plugins menu in Notepad++.
Choose Plugins Admin.

There are only a few icons here, where are the rest?

Hi, @pan-jan,

I think that your toolbar’s icons are too big and hides the normal DSpellChek icon !

So, go to Settings > Preferences...> General > Toolbar and select the Standard icons choice

=> On the right of the toolbar, you shoul see the DSpellCheck icon to toggle the spelling process !

Now the icons are smaller and … nothing has changed

Hello @pan-jan,

Your standard icons are quite weird !

See mine on the picture below and the DSpellCheck icon, on the right, with the ABC indication !

You do not even need the Customize Toolbar plugin :-)) You may also create a shortcut to enable/disable spelling :

Go to Settings > Shortcut Mapper... > Plugins
Double-click on line Spell Check Document Automatically and choose your shortcut

Hi, @pan-jan,

As you installed the Customize Toolbar plugin, I suppose that some icons are absent, by default. You’ll have to add some of them to your current toolbar !

Now, in Settings > Preferences...> General > Toolbar, under the box **Hide**, there 3 possibilities :

Small icons
Big icons
Standard icons

Did you really select the Standard icons ?

These are the icons I can choose from

@pan-jan,

Could you do a test, selecting the choice Standard icons ?

Then stop and restart Notepad++ => You should see all the plugin’s icons on the right of the toolbar !

Hello @pan-jan and All,

I just installed the last Unicode 4.2.0.0 - x32 version of the Customize Toolbar plugin in N++ v7.8.8 from here :

https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-customize/files/Customize Toolbar v4.2/

And, in the Customize Toolbar menu, I see two lines :

Help - Overview :

Help - Custom buttons :

Sorry, I do not have time, presently, to investigate further on, in this matter. However, if this help is not enough for you, you could ask the plugin’s author, by e-mail, for additional information !

Best Regards,

Hi, @pan-jan and All,

Change the contents of the CustomizeToolbar.btn as below :

Edit,Select All,,,custom-icon-1.bmp
Edit,Convert Case to,Proper Case,,custom-icon-2.bmp

Save the modifications of CustomizeToolbar.btn
Stop and restart N++
As you can see, the first default hammer icon is colorized and works ( Select All )
However the second hammer icon remains grayed and does not seem to work :-((

After some tests, I realized that this second hammer becomes active ONLY IF you select a tab with a normal selection in its contents. In this case, hitting the second hammer icon does apply the Proper Case feature to the selection !

Indeed, if you select Edit > Convert Case to, you can see that the sub-menu is all grayed, if no selection has been done, previously !

So, refer to the plugin’s author for possible fixes. May be this wrong behavior depends on of Notepad++, itself !

BTW, in the meanwhile, simply do your selection and use the default Alt + U shortcut ! Easier, isn’t it ?.

Since decades, I don’t click, anymore, on the Toolbar buttons for Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + Z, Ctrl + Y and so on…, preferring the shortcuts !!!

I can’t add the word with the letter “ą” to the dictionary or for Current Session

Hello, @pan-jan and All,

Sorry for my late answer ! Initially, I did not see a good explanation ! One day, I realized that, may be, your dictionary file was probably ANSI encoded ! I verified my assertion and, indeed, it’s the cause of your problem !

So, here is the road map :

Go to the folder ...\plugins\config\Hunspell
Back-up your lang.dic and lang.aff files ( One never knows ! )
Start Notepad++
Disable, temporarily, the DSpellCheck plugin
Open the two files lang.dic and lang.aff, from within N++
Change the first line of lang.aff with the command SET UTF-8
Verify, in the status bar, that its encoding is UTF-8 ( not UTF-8-BOM ! )
Save the modifications
Select the lang.dic tab ( Probably, this file is ANSI encoded )
Run the command Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 ( not convert to UTF-8-BOM ! )
After a little while, save the modifications of lang.dic
Now, close the two files lang.dic and lang.aff files
Enable, again, the DSpellCheck plugin

=> This time, if special words contain Unicode characters, with code-point over \x{00FF}, you should be able to add to the dictionary , in the lang.usr file

Anyway, the method is self-explained in the dialog, below, and I suppose that you’ve found out the solution, by now !

Best Regards

I don’t use Hunspell.
This is happening in Aspell.
These words are written in pl.pws.
pl.pws has ISO format.
