but it isn’t respectful to people you are asking to make software changes to tell them how easy something should be.

I do not see any disrespect in asking to make changes and simultaneously supposing the changes are easy.
Notepad++ has already many functions having to do with saving (the “Save” function it self at first) so that the mentioned function is only a fork of something, that already exists (and makes the program ergonomically better).

@Alan-Kilborn said in Saving the current loaded session:

they may ask YOU to make the necessary software changes and submit them as a user contribution.

I would do it if I only could.
But as a user and tester I only can give feedback and post it here or on github. I have done this humble contribution, nothing more.

I usually proceed as follows

Clone the repo open npp and start UDL dialog use import from the UDL dialog and point to Julia_Notepad++.xml from the cloned repo restart npp adjust the colors to my needs

I think Alt+x was somewhat of a hidden thing, that worked before the addition of some new UI elements, notice:

Really all it was doing was closing the current tab, so if you really like that keycombo you can just reassign the Close action in the Settings (menu) > Shortcut Mapper…, like so:

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for your Response, i have re-installed NP++ and followed this and it works. Cheers.

I lost all my open tabs too. At least 20, maybe more. That is the first time this has evver happened.

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you

@Alan-Kilborn You never know :)
Anyway looking into getting some windows 2000 hardware collected, I think I think I have thought things through enough.

@James-Clow , I don’t think so. I haven’t found such alternative.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for finding the workaround.

@DavJenkins said in New feature request: Monitoring (tail -f) position after refresh:

It is impractical to toggle the tail setting off and on, …especially since there is no hotkey for doing so.

Assign whatever unused key you want in Settings (menu) > Shortcut Mapper… :

For the rest, you can make a feature request, see HERE for some guidance on doing so.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks for the Windows theme suggestion - that should fix my issue. As for your confusion;

@Alan-Kilborn said in [Suggestion] Extend dark mode colours to all elements in NP++:

“cool customized dark mode” <— what exactly does that mean?

It means that some of the theme colors, to be specific the text and border colours, I modified to neon green (I do like to play script kiddie), and it looks cool (to me, at least). Anyway, thanks again.

Section 6 (and 4 and 5) of the GPLv3 actually covers the required terms to distribute the ‘object form’ of GPL licensed software.

All true. However those sections were drafted in the days of CD-ROMs and 3.5" diskettes. Nowadays, you “convey” the source by hosting it on GitHub.

Granted, Linux package maintainers do bundle the source files and make scripts; but only because their package policies are as old as the GPL itself.

@Alan-Kilborn

don’t be so hard on myself, I just missed it by ~4000 lines :-D

I can print to a generic text printer with line numbers but that includes page breaks.

@PeterJones said:

You could save a second copy of the file, then use the advice in this recent conversation to insert line numbers in the text itself.

As an alternative to Peter’s advice, perhaps you could take the file with the pagebreaks and remove those after-the-fact (if pagebreaks are the only undesirable content).

@PeterJones Thank you for the solution, it was very helpful for me!

I work on Win7 32 bit system.

Please note that the developers specifically say that win7 is no longer supported, so even if there were a problem with Notepad++ specifically under Win7, the developers will not address it. The frequent contributors to the Community Forum take their cue from that, and if it really is a Win7 only problem, we will suggest trying on a supported operating system.

if this is an issue of Notepad++ or of the plug-in itself

Since Notepad++ itself doesn’t have a multi-line toolbar feature, I would hazard a guess that the problem lies in the plugin’s implementation, not in Notepad++ itself. But the plugin author or maintainer would be more likely to be able to investigate and addrses such problems. The author might still be watching the project page for new bug reports or discussion, though it’s been a year since those were active, so…

would be better to have a Customize Toolbar feature directly into N++

The Notepad++ developer has decided that such functionality is better implemented in a plugin rather than as part of the core application, and does not often “compete” with actively-maintained plugins.
