<![CDATA[NppExec Prevent the console from being cleared]]>Is there a way to prevent the console from being cleared when i execute an NPP command?

This is my situation

  1. I compile my app and show errors in the console
  2. Say i then do a search which outputs results to the console
  3. I would like to have a key that switches back to my list of errors

If i execute any npp command to present the console it will clear it.
So can i prevent the console from clearing before an NPP command or is there some other, better approach

Thanks for your help.

See:

help npe_console

In your startup NppExec script, use:

NPE_CONSOLE -- a+

Cheers.

I have worked around this by saving the error list when compiling.
So when the user presses the “List errors” button it dumps that file which refreshes the console
