I guess you need to do exactly the opposite and using a delimiter.

Or, use operators 1 for the parens.

Basically, if parens aren’t defined as anything, then only the rules for byte are applied, and the keyword rules (unless the prefix checkbox is marked) say that the keyword doesn’t count if it’s touching anything. However, once you put the ( ) in the operators 1, that defines the parens as operators which are allowed to touch anything.(*)

If you do use the delimiter # rather than operators 1, you will have to enable nesting for the various keyword # in the delimiter # > styler dialog. [edit: I see @Ekopalypse already mentioned that; didn’t see it on my first read]

*: operators 1 don’t require whitespace to be recognized; operators 2 do require whitespace to be recognized. (This is in https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/npp-usermanual/blob/master/content/docs/user-defined-language-system.md , and will propagate to https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-defined-language-system/ at the next document release.)

You can try using Recuva to restore your data as described here:

Thanks, very constructive. Might as well not say anything.

Yup!

Yes I should have make backups on 2 drives, BUT, I had sane files with no reasons to ever get corrupted, or almost, because Npp managed to do it.

I always backup everything. I learned that lesson a long time ago, back in Windows NT days.

Anyway, I’m done with Npp. Sad because I used it daily for years.

Have you thought about using Vim instead? I have used it for daily for years too. I still use it.

Have a good night guys, thanks for those trying to actually help. Bye.

Bye too…

I am pretty sure I have worked out that it is the length. It worked to find some stuff but wasn’t find everything in the string. in the search window there is the string and it changes colour for my view (I cant work out how to post a pic here so am using bold=blue italics=green)

fight_N|figure_N|firefighter_N

Thanks for your help, I am now just manually going threw all my strings and cutting them down. Pretty sure that it is only when they are too long that I had any problems opening files.

Cheers!

@Ak-M

you can use software like this to see
the registered global hotkeys.

Duh! Apologies! Putty is doing the logging…

It’s an age thing…

@Steve-Messer

I wrote a plugin that can be used to configure the size of white space indicators. Its name is ExtSettings. You can download it >>> here <<<. It will also be available soon via PluginsAdmin.

now raplace 125: with 125:/r/n

if you are use 64bit npp use big files plugin

I installed (updated previous version) the 64 bit Zip version (7.1.1) on Windows 10 Home and when I went to reset my Preferences, it did not allow to set the print margins in inches

This isn’t exactly new behavior. I just checked back in Notepad++ v6.0 from 2012, and then checked v4.0 from 2007, and it was still exclusively in millimeters in both of those ancient versions. It wasn’t your upgrade which changed something for you. It was just never in inches.

BTW, 0.25" margins are 6mm, not 0.6mm. For an approximate conversion from inch to mm, just multiply inches by 25 to get approximate millimeters. (It’s really 25.4mm/in, but that extra .4 doesn’t matter much: 1.5%).

@David-Pither-Patterson said:

When that happens, you lose the link

You might want to enable Settings > Preferences > Recent Files History > ☑ Don’t check at launch time, which should at least prevent them from disappearing from the MRU when you first launch Notepad++.

I’m not sure that option will be sufficient to save you if you click the MRU before the network drive has connected… but really, you’re asking a program to open a file that does not exist (from the perspective of your whole computer, not just the app). If I were in that situation, and often found myself in a race with the network remap, I would probably make a folder-shortcut to the network drive, and always open that after re-starting; once the folder was open, I would then open the file-under-consideration from the explorer window, rather than from the Notepad++ MRU, because by then, the drive is mapped.

@Sebastian-Koerner

I can’t see your reported issue concerning the broken characters

Regarding the extra char, this happens when you chose Encode in Ansi, which basically is a view of the current bytes and because those chars are encoded in two
bytes in utf8 you see the additional first byte. If you choose convert to ansi, from a clean state, it shows it correctly.

@pnedev Thanks.

My guess is it is something to do with your company’s setup. Could be the PC build, the way OneDrive has been configured, the internet firewall/proxy connection.

Sorry I can’t be of more help but it looks like you may be stuck with having to work around it by copying from OneDrive to your local hard-drive (e.g. desktop), edit using Notepad++ there, then copy back to OneDrive.

update the notepad++ .DLL file (inside the .zip file), and it’s solved…share to you all

Thank you for your advice. I managed to determine where that data was saved and put the stuff in there. I think the user-defined options would be a better place for it, as you suggested, but its working OK now so I am not going to move it.

I reinstalled Notepad++ t

maybe it’s the change in the new version of scintilla…

try downloading the zip version of 7.6.6, which is the last version before the scintilla upgrade. unzip it into a known directory (maybe on your desktop or similar), and run notepad++ from there instead of your normal shortcut/association. If that version works, then uninstall your new installation, and install the 7.6.6 install version instead. Also, if that’s the case, let us know, because it will probably require a bug report.

[Original Post OBSOLETE] 4th time installing was the charm, no changes between installs. I did App/Remove the first 3 tries. So I really have no idea the difference. But Python finally showed up in the menu.

Thank you i’ll try that.

@Pramod-Sahai

I would suggest, shutdown the computer,no more errors and warnings.
Seriously, how should one try to help with such a post?
You didn’t specify which npp version you are using.
You didn’t specify which plugin is causing issues and most importantly
you didn’t tell about the errors and warnings.
