Of course I wish to thank ALL N++ developers bringing us this new release!

Yes, thank all people who have contributed to this project.

Not sure I understand this.

9 19 20 22 of change log (and lots more) are the implementation from @Scott-Sumner.
BTW, I didn’t really follow what you said:

I noticed for this change, which works to clear the text, it also sounds a bell?

Now I get it by hearing the bell.
I just checked the code, but cannot see what it’s wrong. If people complain then we will see what we can do about it.

Hi don,

thank you for fixing the NppHexEdit plugin issue, it’s very much appreciated.

With regards to changelog item no. 9, add ability to sort lines randomly, there’s actually one reason that prevents me from migrating from Notepad++ 32-bit to 64-bit. I’m using the plugin NppTextFX for over a decade now just for two one of its functions. One was the ability to ‘trim trailing white space’ which eventually found its way into Notepad++, and I’m using the internal solution ever since.

The only other function that is important to me currently only available in NppTextFX is to ‘sort lines case insensitive’. Yet the plugin is only available in 32-bit. Would you be able to implement this into Notepad++?

I believe it’s interesting to @Scott-Sumner for implementing it ;)

Just tested - indeed fixed, I hear no bell anymore! Thanks @donho and @scott-sumner for this request. Eagerly awaiting the full keyboard experience for Function List if #8665 gets implemented. I tried, but no luck :-(

Looking forward to 7.9 official - although I"m using the RC now happily!

Cheers.

@donho There is already an open issue on it, from 2018: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/4479

@Alan-Kilborn
Thank you for the reminder.
Obviously @Scott-Sumner is working (or will work) on it.

Actually there existed an earlier request 4424 which was turned down and the request got closed.

I think it would be sufficient to support case insensitive sorting of the English character set only. I just checked with NppTextFX, it sorts lines containing special foreign characters like ‘ß’ or ‘Ф’ at the top of a sort result. I.e. NppTextFX does not try to sort such lines but places them at a prominent place for the user to easily get aware.

What is the name of the language file for plain text? “txt.xml”?
I want to use for * .txt - files:
<AutoComplete>
<Environment ignoreCase = “yes” />
</AutoComplete>
But it doesn’t work :)

If many users have the same need, we may consider implementing it.
