        It’s not. You just don’t read releases notes.

        See here:

                Since version 8.2.1 and also in 8.3, when autocomplete pops up, pressing Enter no longer completes it, I get a newline instead.
                Please fix this.

                  Reading the links that @Michael-Vincent posted a few posts above will tell you what you need to do to configure it as you desire.

                    @josh-davidson,

                    Per this post, you have won. Congratulations. The next release will go back to reserving two keys to perform the same action by default, and those of us who want only one key will have to change settings.

                      After update from 8.2.1. When I open N++ (new document or edit some file), after ~10 seconds editor shutdown.

                        Then you probably have one of the plugins mentioned previously. Try running with -noPlugin to confirm. (v8.3 has changed the interface on one of the commands that plugins can use to talk with Notepad++, and until that plugin is updated to the new interface, it will not work with Notepad++.)

                          Hope this is the right forum for this, but I notice since the last update the auto-complete function is no longer working on Enter. Previously, if I typed in a function (language == .js) and that function was already in the file I was writing, it would show me that function and I could hit Enter and it would complete the line. Now, when I hit enter, I get a carriage return. Really inconvenient. Is there a new setting required to get the auto-complete on Enter? Thanks.

                            Yes, please examine Settings => Preferences => Auto-Completion. It’s a pretty obvious checkbox on that setting page.

                            Cheers.

                              @michael-vincent Perfect, thanks! It was set to complete on Tab, but not Enter.

                                The next update will enable ‘ENTER’ by default, it was considered a bug so the functionality to manually enable was added and by default removed. I personally prefer the new way. It has taken some getting used to, but I vastly prefer using only ‘TAB’ to autocomplete in Notepad++ the same as I do on the command line in PowerShell, in Bash, etc.

                                Cheers.

                                  To be more precise, it will enable both Enter and Tab by default… but only if your config.xml has not already made a setting for insertSelectedItemUseENTER insertSelectedItemUseTAB.

                                  If you have set those two entries the way you want them in Notepad++ in v8.2.1-v8.3, but then upgrade, your settings will remain the same without being changed. If you have upgraded to v8.3, and the 8.3-default got written to config.xml, and then you immediately upgrade to a new version (8.4 or whatever it’s called), it will keep the default state from 8.3, and not overwrite it with the default state from 8.4. This is intentional, as the “defaults” only get applied on new installations, when a specific setting is missing from the existing config.xml (for example, an upgrade from v8.0 to v8.4 or whatever it’s called), or when config.xml is missing/deleted and needs to be regenerated from defaults.

                                    I have 2 PCs, an HP Envy desktop and a Dell Inspiron laptop. Both are running Windows 10 Home 21H2.

                                    I’ve updated both to Notepad++ v 8.3 and both have the same plugins installed. However, whenever I start or shutdown NPP on the HP, I get an error that I have to click through to open or close NPP. The error states “An exception occurred due to plugin: nppAutoDetectIndent.dll” and the next line says “Exception reason: Access violation”

                                    If I uninstall nppAutoDetectIndent.dll, I still get the same errors until I delete the nppAutoDetectIndent.dll subfolder. Then, it works without errors.

                                    Please help me as I use NPP quite often and always with Auto Indent enabled.

                                    Thanks,
                                    Clem

                                      As I answered here, you will have to contact the owner of the plugin (link provided in the other post) and ask them to fix the plugin to work with v8.3.

                                          When I edit documents locally, it seems stable. But when I edit files remotely in WinSCP the problem comes back and the switch that you tipped over comes in handy. Thanks.

                                            Hi folks,

                                            i found a bug in the current x64 bit version of notepad++ the silent parameter for the directory relocation (/S /D=d:\otherfolder) does not work.
                                            It is possible to fix this annoying issue?

                                            Best regards,
                                            Frank
