        FYI:
        If you have somethings-else to say, speak out in Boycott Notepad++. All the subjects unrelated to bug/regression report of v8.3 will be delete and banned.

            Notepad++ v8.3 installed.

            When in PHP language, starting to write a command already known, it shows the list. if I see the autocompletion needed, i search with [ARROW UP/DOWN]+[ENTER].
            i remember that before, the command was autocompleted.
            now, it does a single “chariot return”.

            for instance, i want to write “public $my_data;”
            so let’s start … : “pu”
            d0629e69-e06f-4d12-b469-c4ac7ee08749-image.png
            public is selected, so let press [ENTER]
            e53e55a3-70e6-4d8f-817e-a5241adc8b15-image.png
            why do we need to do [CTRL]+[ENTER] to get the same result ?

              @romain-bocquiau ,

              It was not Ctrl+Enter before: in previous versions, either the ENTER key or the TAB key would select the active choice from auto-complete. Starting in v8.2.1, the Developers added an option to configure whether it was ENTER or TAB or either (in Settings > Preferences > AutoCompletion); but because the option defaulted to TAB=on and ENTER=off, which changed the default behavior of Notepad++, it has confused a lot of users. You should go to that option, and ☑ ENTER, which will re-enable using ENTER to finish the auto-complete.

                @peterjones Oh, thanks. I was confused because in config page it still showed “Enter” as the key to autocomplete, so I couldn’t understand what was going on. Well this behavior is great anyways, so I’m glad its staying.

                      Known issue. It will be fixed in the next version.

                        which @Hercules-Queiroz-Palombo can confirm using the v8.3.1 Release Candidate

                          As always, dude, thanks for all your work on this great editor!

                          Considering the many improvements in 8.3 (and 8.3.1), I don’t understand why v8.2.1 said “no update is available” when I checked from within it. Would more frequent auto-updates require too much bandwidth?

                            So this is a PERFECT example of exactly why it says no update is available.

                            8.3+ introduces HUGE file support, which caused a lot of new bugs to be introduced. Developers are working through the bugs, but probably at this point it isn’t a great idea for every single Notepad++ user out there to migrate to these versions. Just my 2c.

                                There are “release candidate versions”; click HERE and glance down the list produced, and you’ll see them.

                                  Because this is the sequence that the developer usually follows:

                                  1. Develop updates
                                  2. Submit as Release Candidate (RC) version
                                  3. Wait for feedback from those users who are willing to download a RC version
                                  4. Iterate 1-2 until no “critical regressions” are reported
                                  5. Release as official version
                                  6. Wait for feedback from those users who are willing to download the released version without waiting for auto-update to be triggered (much larger number of people)
                                  7. Do a faster loop back to step 1 if critical regressions found after #4
                                  8. If no critical regressions found in #5, then trigger auto-update

                                  The goal is for critical regressions to be found in #2 (the equivalent of “beta”), but not enough users download the RC/beta versions, so sometimes critical regressions are not found until #5. This happened to be one of those cases. Since the developer likes a fast-paced release cycle anyway, he feels that the current process works reasonably well – and the delay between #4 and #7 prevents “too many” people from downloading the release if a critical regression is found within a week or two of release.
