    @PeterJones said in Notepad++ v8.5.1 Release Candidate:

    How do you add an arrow to something whose symbol is already literally an arrow character? And how would you suggest that the arrow be indicated so people know it has to be ctrl+click to get it. IMO, hover text would do a much better job of communicating that behavior than another arrow (and would probably help the user experience)

    copy-swap.png

    It’s a bit ugly, but it’s just a quick sketch. I think the idea is clear enough? (Click in the top third to copy replace to find, bottom third to copy find to replace, middle to exchange?)

      How about adding a drop-down to the find dialog to display the exchange options.
      Like it is done by WinMerge, see image below.

        @donho, since these aren’t regressions per se, would you like @conky77 and/or @Snabel42 to make official issues regarding the hover text for the button, and changing the localization files to use entities?

        Sure, I will see what I can do about it in the next release.

          Hello, @coises, @don-ho, @peterjones and All,

          I, personally, very much like the solution proposed by @coises which seems quite intuitive !

          But, these specific arrows should not be very easy to display ?!

          Best Regards,

          guy038

          Of course :

          • The Copy Find to Replace option needs a non-empty Find field

          • The Exchange option needs non-empty Find and Replace fields

          • The Copy Replace to Find option needs a non-empty Replace field

          Ah… I think that these actions should be possible in the Normal search mode only !

            There is one bug I posted about:
            The word call up function of WordWeb Pro (v10.1) Ctrl & right mouse button works in every app except notepad++.

              This is not specific to 8.5.1, so leave that discussion out of this thread, as it doesn’t belong here.

                  FYI: RC3 is available.

                  The difference between RC2 and RC3 is:
                  RC2 use old NppShell.dll for the creation of “Edit with Notepad++” entry for old windows (10, 8 & 7), and it use new NppModernShell.dll for Windows 11.

                  In RC3, only one NppShell.dll is used for the creation of “Edit with Notepad++” entry for all supported Windows.

                  For people who have Windows 7 (I have no Windows 7), please test installer and let me know if it works as usual.

                  Thank you!

                      Open in Notepad++ disappeared from context menu of Windows.

                      However, is Edit with Notepad++ installed on Windows 10 explorer context menu by RC3?

                        If you about Flag in installer Context menu Entry, yes.
                        In RC2 is working.

                          RC3 doesn’t add Edit with Notepad++ on Windows 7, even if I restart the explorer.exe (x86 and x64 of Npp).
                          RC2 work as expexted, no need to restart the explorer.exe.

                          Both RCs can not uninstall the NppShell.dll. The dll is still available.

                          Image-2023-03-23-19-38-28.png

                          UPDATE:

                          The RC4 witch is not posted here work as expected. The Edit with Notepad++ is available without restarting of explorer.exe and the dll is removed after uninstall (x64).

                          N++ x86 does not add Edit with Notepad++

                          Note: The uninstaller does not remove the tabContextMenu_example.xml from %appdata%

                            FYI
                            The new release will be based on RC2, which is more stable than other candidates are.

                            Thank you for your testing and report!
