@Mike-M-0 said in How Do I Have Two Saved Files Separate Tabs In Each?:

What I am wanting is a second Notepad++ file/icon/shortcut with a different set of tabs.

A tab in Notepad++ is just a way to show a file. It’s still considered a “file” even if you’ve never saved it to disk… it’s just a temporary file, and you’re tempting fate by never saving it.

If you want to be able to have different sets/groups of files opened, you can File > Save Session… to save that “Session” to the disk in a known location. If you then later use File > Open Session…, that same list of files will be opened, assuming that you had actually saved any of those files to disk at any point. Saving a session with a bunch of never-saved files will save an empty session, which will probably upset you later.

There are ways to make it so if you double-click on a session file, it will automatically open that session in Notepad++… but you are not yet to that skill level yet.

@RARgames said in Use dark mode with a custom theme:

Personally, the main issue that I have with the default dark mode is that selected line and not selected text colors seem to be inverted

I suppose that was a design choice by the dark-mode author, no right and no wrong – if you don’t like it, feel free to swap them. (I think I would if I made the move to the “dark side”)

@RARgames said in Use dark mode with a custom theme:

Not really, I was trying to use it, but it doesn’t give enough “freedom”.
I’m used to some random dark theme that I downloaded like 5+ years ago

I often find new features the time to try to get used to something new; usually it works out well. Just a suggestion.

@Ekopalypse Thanks so much! I got everything up and running.

@Rob-Holstein

this screenshot reminds me of this issue with software like Slack, could this be your problem as well?

@Péter-Rétvölgyi

why not opening the files from the backup folder?

@PeterJones Thanks, I will go through the documentations once again. Thanks for understanding though.

@ipekerti ,

see the debugging steps in the FAQ here, but most likely, one or more of your plugins need to be updated to work with Notepad++ v8.4-and-newer.

@pokemon-go ,

This is a Notepad++ forum. Notepad++ is perfectly capable of doing the search and replace. There is no reason, in this Forum, to recommend switching to a proprietary, costly word processor to do a simple search-and-replace rather than using the free-and-open-source Notepad++ text editor that is that is the subject of this forum and has all the features necessary to make the change requested.

@George-Master said in Session not loading any more:

May be it’s not intended to let Notepad++ stay open while going to sleep mode.
But that´s what I used to do all the time.

I personally would NOT do that. Anytime you leave the PC for an extended period of time unattended (especially in sleep mode) with any applications open you are leaving yourself wide open for issues to arise.

I’m confused by your conflicting statements of first not being to open the backup files, now you can. Since you can open now, the first attempt must have had unknown issues.

The error message referred to the session.xml file and that’s what I thought was corrupt, not your actual backup files. That seems to be confirmed by your latest attempt to open the backup files.

As for you saving files, only you can answer that question. If you cannot afford to lose data you need to maintain control over when and where the backups reside.

Again, I can only refer you back to that FAQ post, there is lots of great information there about what to consider about the backup regime you use. But, and I can’t stress this enough, don’t go forward without at least setting the backup preferences to something you are happy with. Either change the Notepad++ settings or go for the plugin referred to in that FAQ post if wanting further guarantees.

@PeterJones Ohhh, that’s why that’d happen, makes so much sense now. And the other BB Code xlm helped out on a few things, thank you very much! :D

@Terry-R said in Regex: Find whole words that have only uppercase letters in text:

I did some more testing and can see it will fail in some situations.

I have had more time to consider how it might work and also to look at “classes”. This next solution is I think working correctly and will also allow for words with a ' in them such as DON’T.
Find What:(?-i)\b[[:upper:]](?:[[:upper:]]|')+\b

I had to start it with a look for an upper character, otherwise it would select just a ' by itself. You may also want to extend to include a - if you need to. If adding a - then it becomes (?-i)\b[[:upper:]](?:[[:upper:]]|'|-)+\b.

@Николай-Долбня said in Autocompletion doesn't work properly, what could be the reason?:

It is not obvious for me that Enter could be used for something else during classical autocompletion, but it’s only my oppinion though.

I will admit the tab key would not have been my “default” choice but the developer is allowed to select whatever they think is appropriate. It’s up to the user (that’s you) to see the problem and hopefully read the manual to find the reason. Luckily the developer puts in lots of settings that can be changed to suit the users preference.

Terry

Thanks Peter for the info. It seems the themes are only associated by filename and so I just copy or rename Monokai to DefaultDarkMode.

still looking into Minimalist though, but will transition to the full portable soon.

@Alan-Kilborn I was also using 8.4.3 (sorry about that).

Thanks for the guidance. I use Razer headphones, and it turns out that it was the Razer software that was causing the problem. Thought I would share in case any other who had the same problem, and like me weren’t smart enough to figure it out on their own.

Also, I’ve used Notepad++ for years (decades?) now, and absolutely love it. Just sent a donation to show my gratitude.

@Ekopalypse thank you very much kind sir, it works, have a great and amazing day

@BrendanL79 said in Tab bar always hidden at launch:

But right now the erratic tab bar behavior bothers me more

If you toggle the Settings > Preferences > General > Tab Bar > ☑ Hide to the checkmarked state, then with or without the asNotepad.xml config file, Notepad++ will start with the tab bar hidden, and opening Settings > Preferences will not cause the tab bar to suddenly appear, making it both consistent and the behavior I believe you want.

@Сергей-Арсентьев said in clipboard in find and replace:

By default, Notepad++ adds the last value from the clipboard to the search

Note that this has nothing to do with the clipboard content.
Notepad++, if the Don't fill find field... is unticked, will grab either the word at the caret (if no selection is active) or the currently selected text and use it to pre-populate the Find what box in the Find window.

@musicscoree96 said in Compare 2 folders:

as for now I used UltraCompare

So why stop using it, even if a Notepad++ plugin gives you compare capability?

No offense to the developers of the Compare plugin, but I don’t like it much, so I continue to use BeyondCompare. I do my own “integration” with it using some Notepad++ scripts.
