So I can't type letters in my notepad but I can type context menu because of reasons

[Pioter Jenyderka]

it just happened by itself when I’ve opened notepad++, basically wanted to make quick change into config and commit.

When I type anything like lets say coma, it doesn’t type coma but opens context menu ?!
with options command and compile and can’t type anything

I’ve wasted 20 minutes to investigate why I can’t type in notepad and write here.

this is red flag and I wont be using it anymore in prod - maybe something stupid that can be resolved with one click but not when you are in hurry.

@Pioter-Jenyderka ,

You may have hit Ctrl enough times that Windows is turning on its Sticky Keys feature, because Sticky Keys can make things behave differently than you are expecting (that is, it behaves like you are pressing the Ctrl key even when you aren’t). You should search the internet for how to turn off Sticky Keys (it’s a Windows feature, not anything to do with Notepad++)

Other than that, I cannot think of anything specific to Notepad++ that would cause Notepad++ to work as you described.

Compile? Notepad++ is a text editor, not a developer environment. By default, Ctrl+comma does not do anything in Notepad++. In Visual Studio Ctrl+comma brings up a code search dialog box. Maybe you have asked your question in the wrong place?

Being in a hurry can be the problem.
