You are right, the way multi-editing is implemented currently is not very useful - to much hassle to place the cursor at multiple locations and you could easily miss one location.

But with the new Scintilla commands SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT and SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH we got the missing features to enjoy the power of multi-editing. If you are sure you want to overtype all occurences of a certain string send SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH. If you know that the string only occurs in a few locations near by the cursor (e.g. an if..else...endif block) send SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT multiple times. Of course a scripting plugin is needed to be able to send these commands to Scintilla.

In this comment @dail posted some Lua code to emulate SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT in Notepad++ versions prior to v7.7 (which introduced the Scintilla version necessary for the two commands mentioned above). I was able to modify it to create an emulator for SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH as well (maybe I found that code somewhere, too), here are the two functions:

npp.AddShortcut("Selection Add Next", "", function() -- From SciTEBase.cxx local flags = SCFIND_WHOLEWORD -- can use 0 editor:SetTargetRange(0, editor.TextLength) editor.SearchFlags = flags -- From Editor.cxx if editor.SelectionEmpty or not editor.MultipleSelection then local startWord = editor:WordStartPosition(editor.CurrentPos, true) local endWord = editor:WordEndPosition(startWord, true) editor:SetSelection(startWord, endWord) else local i = editor.MainSelection local s = editor:textrange(editor.SelectionNStart[i], editor.SelectionNEnd[i]) local searchRanges = {{editor.SelectionNEnd[i], editor.TargetEnd}, {editor.TargetStart, editor.SelectionNStart[i]}} for _, range in pairs(searchRanges) do editor:SetTargetRange(range[1], range[2]) if editor:SearchInTarget(s) ~= -1 then editor:AddSelection(editor.TargetStart, editor.TargetEnd) -- To scroll main selection in sight editor:ScrollRange(editor.TargetStart, editor.TargetEnd) break end end end -- To turn on Notepad++ multi select markers editor:LineScroll(0, 1) editor:LineScroll(0, -1) end) npp.AddShortcut("Selection Add All", "", function() local flags = SCFIND_WHOLEWORD -- can use 0 local startWord = -1 local endWord = -1 local s = "" editor.SearchFlags = flags if editor.SelectionEmpty or not editor.MultipleSelection then startWord = editor:WordStartPosition(editor.CurrentPos, true) endWord = editor:WordEndPosition(startWord, true) editor:SetSelection(startWord, endWord) else local i = editor.MainSelection startWord = editor.SelectionNStart[i] endWord = editor.SelectionNEnd[i] end s = editor:textrange(startWord, endWord) while true do editor:SetTargetRange(0, editor.TextLength) local i = editor.MainSelection local searchRanges = {{editor.SelectionNEnd[i], editor.TargetEnd}, {editor.TargetStart, editor.SelectionNStart[i]}} local itemFound = false for _, range in pairs(searchRanges) do editor:SetTargetRange(range[1], range[2]) if editor:SearchInTarget(s) ~= -1 then editor:AddSelection(editor.TargetStart, editor.TargetEnd) itemFound = true break end end if editor.TargetStart == startWord and editor.TargetEnd == endWord or not itemFound then break end end -- To turn on Notepad++ multi select markers editor:LineScroll(0, 1) editor:LineScroll(0, -1) end)

Your posting in this thread is OK, but your profile points in the other direction. Tread lightly.

Hello @prahlad-makwana4145, @ekopalypse and All,

Welcome to the N++ Community !

Actually, in Extended mode, in addition to the search of standard characters and the 5 specific characters, below :

Character Syntax ---------------- ----------- Tabulation \t New Line \n Carriage Return \r Backslash \\ Null \0 ---------------- -----------

Within an Unicode encoding file, a particular character, of code-point U+00xx, with xx between 00 and ff, can be found with one of the four syntaxes below :

Type From To Character Range ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------------- Decimal \d000 \d255 [0-9] Octal \o000 \o377 [0-7] Binary \b00000000 \b11111111 [0-1] Hexadecimal \x00 \xFF [0-9A-F] ------------ ----------- ----------- -----------------

However, within an ANSI encoded file, an unicode character, of code-point U+00xx can be found ONLY IF xx belongs to the range [00-7F] OR to the range [A0-FF]. When xx lies between 80 and 9F, it generally searches for the question mark ( ? ) as it refers to an Unicode char, whose code-point is not handled by the ANSI encoding ! Only, the 5 characters U+0081, U+008D, U+008F, U+0090 and U+009D, without any glyph, are correctly searched !

Notes :

The Extended search mode, as well as the Regular expression one, cannot be used for searching individual bytes of an UTF-8 or UCS-2 encoded character !

The replacement zone, in Extended mode, may contain any char, except for the NUL char ( \0 )

When using the Extended mode, especially when searching for letters, it is advisable to tick the Match case option

Reminder : In the Normal and Extended search mode, it’s best to NOT tick the Match whole word only option, especially when the searched string begins and/or ends with a NON-word character !

So, for instance, with the Match case option ticked, the Match whole word only option UN-ticked and the Extended [\n, \r, \t, \0, \x...) search mode selected :

If you search for the uppercase letter A, you can choose, either, the syntax \d065 or \o101 or \b1000001 or \x41

And if you look for the character, with decimal ASCII code 201 ( É ), type in, either, the syntax \d201 or \o311 or \b11001001 or \xC9

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

Personally, I think that the only advantage of using the Extended mode is when you want to use the \dxxx syntax, where xxx represents the decimal code of the character :

Between 000 and 255 ( so in range U+0000 - U+00FF) within a UTF-8 or UCS-2 encoded file

Between 000 and 127 or between 160 and 255 ( so in ranges U+0000 - U+007F or U+00A0 - U+00FF ) within an ANSI file

In all other cases, just prefer the Regular expression search mode ;-))
