@PeterJones said in TranslateID (FolderName) in UserDefinedCommands (shortcuts.xml):

If you look again at the reference you linked, the TranslateID attribute is defined for the contextMenu.xml; however, the <Command> tags in the shortcuts.xml do not have that attribute listed as being available.

Thus, I do not believe what you are looking for is currently possible. Thus, I think you would have to follow the instructions in our FAQ to put in a feature request to ask the developer to add TranslateID to the shortcuts.xml <Command> tag.

Hello, @PeterJones.

I truly appreciate your quick response and such a clear explanation!

Indeed, upon rereading the documentation I referenced, I realized I misunderstood the use of the TranslateID attribute. It applies to contextMenu.xml, not shortcuts.xml, as I had mistakenly assumed. That was an oversight on my part, and I appreciate you pointing it out so objectively.

In my case, this was just curiosity based on that mistaken understanding. It’s not something essential for daily use of the application. I’m glad to have learned the actual scope of this functionality.

Thanks again for your kindness and clarification.

There is an issue about this:

Search function impracticality #10438

@Coises

As I read it, it seems that the OP wants their Preference to be updated if they use the Edit, Blank Operations, TAB to Space (or Space to TAB).

Of course, I too could be confused. The lack of detail does make the OP open to interpretation.

I’m with @PeterJones on this.

One is a “Preference”, the other a “one-shot function”. This function should not be making changes to a Preference. And at the moment it isn’t, which I believe to be the correct decision.

@Alan-Kilborn Hehe, “for in much wisdom is much grief”.

I see that a GitHub user @paulm31 is submitting a AutoHotKey_V2.udl.xml to the User Defined Languages Collection in PR #324 – I have to assume that’s related to this post, even if it’s not you, given the timing.

That PR is merged, and CollectionInterface shows the AutoHotKey_V2.udl entry for me.

@guy038 Excellent! Thanks for the lists…

By the way, after months of trying all sorts of tricks to successfully encode the ÿ character to Hex in a UTF-8 encoded page, I realized that I had to initiate a Windows-1252 page first. And then it successfully converted the PNG to Hex. lol.
The NUL bytes (\x00) were problematic as well because unless they get loaded into a raw binary state, they usually get converted to spaces (20) . So I get it now. ITS A TEXT EDITOR! … but at least Windows-1252 gives me a work-around for bytes 0x00–0xFF
And then of course there’s Base64 to save the day!

Lastly, I copy and paste a lot of binary content , so thanks for IDM_EDIT_COPY_BINARY 42048

Cheers

@Alexander-Huckel ,

Sorry, I am not sure about the automatic translation of your question: do you mean auto-correction, where it fixes spelling? Or auto-completion, where it helps you type programming keywords or other terms already found in your document?

The latter is native to the app, described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/ in the manual , and controlled by the settings described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#auto-completion

Spelling correction is not implemented natively in Notepad++, but the DSpellCheck plugin is highly recommended for doing spell check and suggesting corrections.

@Sergio-Bonfiglio ,
Sorry, don’t have the time to research and provide an answer that is obvious after reading the documentation.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Insert sequential numbers at start of lines:

editor.replaceLine(line_nbr, '{n}) {c}'.format(n=chr(96+running_line_nbr), c=line_content))

Thank you! I had tried editing that line myself but I didn’t quite get it right. It’s all good now thanks to you 😁

@PeterJones
Thanks for your repply

@Hugo-Martinez-Jara said in Notepad++ cloud:

Hi,
Is there a Notepad++ cloud service?
I’d love to save notes, ideas, or logs in .txt from different devices.
No one, as far as I know, has this solution.
As long as the current Notepad++ UX (in my opinion, the best) is respected.
I’m willing to collaborate in any way, whether by contributing work or financially.
Of course, I don’t speak English.
Writing in English is no problem (ChatGpt)

Hugo,

Si tienes algo como Google Drive, puedes configurar tu propio sistema en la nube, y Notepad++ se adapta a eso, permitiéndote configurar una configuración en la nube que copiará tus archivos a esa unidad.

¿Para qué gastar dinero si no es necesario?

Si no es compatible con tu versión de Notepad++, simplemente lee y traduce el manual en línea para aprender cómo.

Hugo,

As long as you have something like GoogleDrive, you can setup your own cloud system, and Notepad++ accomodates that, by allowing you to setup a cloud setup, that will copy your files to that cloud drive.

Why create a cost for yourself if you don’t have to?

Just read and translate the online manual if it’s not native in your Notepad++ version to learn how.

@Estevao-Jordao ,

Did you really need to come 4 years later to give a URL to a random website when the problem is solved with Notepad++ and the JSToolNpp plugin mentioned then (or the JsonTools plugin which also exists now).

(your link was de-linkified, to avoid this forum becoming a honeypot for posting URLs to random sites unrelated to Notepad++)

“default style” is working fine for my purposes.

I will propagate these configuration changes to any other old installations I may have.

Thanks to all for the very effective help!

@Molly-Harris-0 Have you tried the Window Manager plug-in?
With the tab bar disabled and using the Window Manager, I think you will have something akin to what you are looking for.

Hello, All,

Just a point of clarification : if you download the 3 parts of this list and want to test some other sorts , remember to add a space char in front of any code-point coded with 4 hexadecimal digits !

Indeed, for a correct empty rectangular selection, the characters must be aligned, like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

and NOT like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

If you forget to do so, you may see the message : Sorting multiple selections is not supported !

Best Regards,

guy038

@PeterJones said in Linux desktop version of notepad-plus-plus native. (crossplatform):

Besides, with Wine on Linux, I have heard that, except for edge cases, some people can have a reasonably-good Notepad++ experience on Linux.

This is very true, as one of the users of dBASE who specifically requested and encouraged me to work on the UDL for dBASE in Notepad++ is because at the time, his eyes were really bad, and the native IDE editor was not very customizable. He has adapted the dBASE Plus UDL I made so it works with dBASE 5.0 DOS/Windows via a WINE emulator on his servers…where he runs virtual machines for all dBASE versions. Because I was able to make that UDL, he was able to be productive again while getting help with his eyes and is doing much better now, but the point is…Notepad++ works just fine on Linux and Wine. I believe he uses Ubuntu for it, and as @PeterJones has said, only edge cases cause a problem for him, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you running it that way.

@ryangray01,

Again, your only contribution in this topic was to reiterate phrases that had already been used in other posts. Please try to include your own unique perspective in posts. You now have two “could be AI nonsense” strikes against you. You are on very thin ice at this point.

This was tested on Notepad++ v7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit)

Why would anybody still be using v7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit) – in 2019, when the original discussion was started, that was reasonable. But 6 years later, when Notepad++ is to v8.8.1, and Windows 10 is at the cusp of end-of-support from Microsoft, I cannot believe you are actually still using that setup, or that there is any benefit today to trying to replicate that 6-year-old setup.

@ryangray01 ,

note from moderator: please reply to the original topic, rather than creating a new topic, otherwise readers lose all context. I have fixed this post (and one other), but it’s really better if you just keep the reply in the same topic to begin with.

update: two of your three posts so far seemed like AI nonsense; two of your three posts so far have replied into a separate topic from the post being replied to; it is really looking like you are just here to disrupt communication, rather than participate in community. If your next post is as meaningless as two of yours, or if it requires extra moderator effort to re-connect it to context, I am going to conclude that you are an AI, and thus react according to our forum’s policy on AI nonsense.
