Use new modern shell “Edit with Notepad++” of Windows 11 instead of hijacking “Pin to Quick access”.(Fix #13320, implement #13330)

Hi, I think I may have encountered a glitch in this, unless what I’m seeing is intentional. I have rebooted my machine(s; I have two Win11 machines experiencing this) and the issue still persists.

Win11 Home 22H2 build 22621.1413 on both machines, NPP 8.5.1 64bit on both as well. The issue is, while the “Edit with Notepad++” option is in the context menu, the functionality to let me hit ‘n’ to access that seems to have gone away. Now, when I open the context menu and hit ‘n’, the highlight jumps immediately to the “Send to” Windows function.

I guess I should mention that I did a registry hack on my machines not long after getting Win11 quite some time ago, to bring back the Win10 and earlier right-click context menus - primarily to allow me to see 'Edit with Notepad++". Is that part of my problem, i.e. should I try to revert that?

Could you try the following packages of your choice:

The problems of explorer context menu “Edit with Notepad++” should be fixes in these binaries.

File DarkModeDefault.xml lacks new lexer for MS T-SQL. Tested with 7z-package of 32 bit Npp portable v8.5.1.

Thank you for your heads up.
Anyone who wants to add MS T-SQL in DarkModeDefault.xml is wellcome!

Hi,
unfortunately the new modern shell “Edit with Notepad++” is not available on my client. I installed 8.5.1 64bit without errors on Windows 11 Enterprise Build 22624.1537 after that I rebooted the system.
