      Hello @don-ho and All,

      With delay, many thanks for the new release ! Contrary to the other times, I can’t say that some points are especially interesting as all of them seem to be important ;-))

      Here are the contents of the v7.9 change.log file with the corresponding GitHub links, relative to each point. I certainly could miss some links but this list can be useful to shed some light on a particular point !

      Two remarks :

      • Point 14 : Add keyboard shortcuts for switching to panels should be changed as Add keyboard shortcuts for switching to Projects, Folder as Workspace and Function List panels as these shortcuts do not concern all panels !

      • I added these two points :

      28. Fix Escape key on FunctionList’s text field causing bell sound.
      29. Include newest nppPluginList in which HexEdit is updated to 0.9.7 (Fixed exception in v7.9 and supported 64 bits).

      Here is my new list :

        @guy038,

        Hi Guy,

        Nice to see you here again!

        Add keyboard shortcuts for switching to panels should be changed as Add keyboard shortcuts for switching to Projects, Folder as Workspace and Function List panels as these shortcuts do not concern all panels !

        Good point!
        However, after checking again this feature, I would reword it to Add keyboard shortcut ability to Projects, Folder as Workspace and Function List panels for switching among them. The term “ability” is used because the shortcuts are not added, but users can add them via Shortcut Mapper. What do you think?

        I added these two points :
        28. Fix Escape key on FunctionList’s text field causing bell sound.
        29. Include newest nppPluginList in which HexEdit is updated to 0.9.7 (Fixed exception in v7.9 and supported 64 bits).

        Escape key on FunctionList’s text field was added in v7.9, so the bug does not exist for the most of Notepad++ users (except us). So 28. is not meaningful in the change log.
        Same for 29.: Since the newest version of nppPluginList is always included on Notepad++ release, it’s not necessary to mention it each time. It was mentioned for the delta between RC2 and RC3 (for people in this forum), because of a crash bug of HexEdit detected on v7.9.

        Here is my new list :

        Thank you for the list!

          Hi @don-ho and All,

          Don, you said :

          Thank you for asking me my feeling about it ! After all, it’s your product, isn’t it ? But, indeed, this new phrasing seems more accurate !

          OK for messages about missing points 28 and 29, too !

          Cheers,

          guy038

          P.S. I’ll certainly duplicate this list, when N++ version 7.9 is announced :-)

            A product cannot go far without a great community.
            It’s always better to get people’s thinking to forge the direction of product.
            In this way, Notepad++ is rather a product of community, my role is just a filter to guide the product going more smoothly.

            Thank you everyone who’s contributed to this forum and to the project on GitHub!
