Unfortunately for you, Notepad++ does not double as backup software with version control (by default).

There is a microscopic chance that following the “Possible File Recovery” section of this FAQ would help you… IF you had Settings > Preferences > Backup > Backup on save = ☑ Verbose backup, then every time you hit Save in NPP, it would create a backup copy of the file with a different timestame (see NPP Wiki: Document Management, search for “verbose”) – but that’s not enabled by default. (If you had ☑ Simple backup, only the most recent version is saved.)

Windows has an option: if you right click on a file, there’s a “Restore Previous Versions” option – if you happen to have configured Windows in the right way (I don’t know what that way is), then maybe that would help.

The best advice (mentioned in that FAQ I linked earlier) is to proactively control your own destiny, especially with important files. If you only ever need the most recent version of a file, then most automated backup software will cover you. Some automated backup programs will even keep multiple versions of the same file, so you can go back in time to a certain extent. Some cloud file services might keep a few versions going back, as well, so if you’re editing files in your cloud folders, there might be some historical versions – see your cloud provider’s documentation. But if going back through the change history of a file is very important to you, then the best bet is version control software (like Subversion or Git) and remembering to “commit early, commit often”.

Unfortunately, most of this advice requires that you already knew how to set up all those various options, and had decided to do so. If the hints above don’t help you recover this file, hopefully they will at least encourage you to set up a backup and file-history system that will meet your needs.

As a first step, perhaps turn OFF the option to treat warnings as errors…and see if that gets you further along? :-)

See here for how to officially make a feature request.

@SuperCPU,

I understand the solution you and Scott were thinking of would be best. I was just trying to give you a workaround, because even if you do submit a feature request, it may be quite some time (if ever) before that request is implemented.

The workaround does work for “Numpad 0” or “INS” or “DEL” or others: you just type the first character of the text of the menu item: for “Numpad 0”, you would hit “N” twice; for “INS”, you would hit “I” once (because the INS entry comes before the I entry); similarly type “D” for “DEL”. That’s the way it works in Notepad++, and quite a few other Windows applications with dropdown menus: if you type the first character of the option, it will go to the next option that starts with that character.

Here’s an example of a scripting-based solution, with Pythonscript.

When you run the script, it walks you through your choices to get the job done:

Step A:
Imgur

Step B:
Imgur

Step C:
Imgur

Here’s the short script, which I call PrefixOrSuffixLines.py:

def POSL__main(): title = 'MODIFY LINES - Prefix or Suffix' result = notepad.messageBox( 'PREFIX {} lines (the alternative being to SUFFIX ) ?'.format('all' if editor.getSelectionEmpty() else 'selected'), title, MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.YESNOCANCEL ) if result == MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.RESULTYES: prefix_or_suffix = 'pre' elif result == MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.RESULTNO: prefix_or_suffix = 'suf' else: return result = notepad.messageBox( 'Apply {}fixing to EMPTY lines ?'.format(prefix_or_suffix), title, MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.YESNOCANCEL ) if result == MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.RESULTYES: do_empty_lines = True elif result == MESSAGEBOXFLAGS.RESULTNO: do_empty_lines = False else: return user_text = notepad.prompt( 'TEXT to {}fix all {}lines with:'.format(prefix_or_suffix, '' if do_empty_lines else 'non-empty '), title, '' # have input box start out empty ) if user_text == None: return editor.rereplace(r'(?-s)^(.' + ('*' if do_empty_lines else '+') + ')', lambda m: (user_text + m.group(1)) if prefix_or_suffix == 'pre' else (m.group(1) + user_text), 0, editor.positionFromLine(editor.getUserLineSelection()[0]), editor.positionFromLine(editor.getUserLineSelection()[1]) ) POSL__main()

very grateful to you, I’ve tried it and it works

Thank you Mr. PeterJones

问题解决,感谢百度贴吧的 千城真人 吧友 ,
其原始命令为 C:\downloads\cmder_mini\Cmder.exe /task {cmd::Cmder}&"C:\npMingw64\mingw\bin\python3.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) &echo "
因为设置过环境变量, 精简为 cmder /task {cmd::Cmder}&"python $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) " (后引号前空格不能省)
