      Hello all,
      I see that this question was asked in 2017 but never answered.

      The problem apparently still exists because I “added” ino as a user ext to the c++ entry (Arduino c files have that extension) but the text does not color code.

      This should either be fixed so that it works or removed if it can never possibly work

      – or –

      would someone please respond with instructions about how to make it work?

      Thank you

        Oh yea, where was that? Link?

        I “added” ino as a user ext to the c++ entry (Arduino c files have that extension) but the text does not color code.

        Works for me, in N++ 7.9.1:

          Sorry, I really don’t have any.
          I just put ino in the box that I circled in red, and it works.

          A post from the future:
          @Ekopalypse I didn’t even notice that that is a default extension! :-)
          I didn’t scroll that “Default ext” field to the right!

              I was curious: it’s been in that list since this Feb 2017 commit, which appears to have been included in released versions starting in v7.3.2.

              @Daniel-Essin : what version of Notepad++ are you using? (Supply ?-menu, Debug Info). Because you shouldn’t need to add ino to the list for c++, unless you are in an ancient version, or unless one or more of your config files is corrupt or hasn’t been updated since before 2017!

                Curious about something. What if you didn’t want .ino extensions treated this way?
                Possible to “get it out” from under C++?
                I can’t think of a use-case where I’d want to do this, but is it possible?

                  Yes. Either put it as a UDL extension, or remove it from langs.xml
