      If there is punctuation (period, commna, exclamation point, etc) or special characters (parenthesis, braces, etc.) at the end of a URL, Notepad includes those characters as part of the link (see image below), so double clicking to open the link gives a 404 error in the browser. Is there anyway to exclude these characters from the link?

      Thanks,

        This will be fixed in next Notepad++ release (with new URL parser).

          Yes, if you are creating your own URL text, do this:

          ( https://www.google.com )

          Obviously, if there are URL text in documents you aren’t in charge of, this doesn’t help.
