Thank you!
Indeed, sending SCI_SETCARETLINEVISIBLEALWAYS with wParam=TRUE to this Scintilla window makes the line background colour to remain even after losing the focus.
@Chris-Gaelic, looks like you got that sorted, but just FYI, there’s a plugin called “ColdFusion Lexer” that does syntax highlighting and also adds some minor things like “wrap in CFdump”, and “wrap in CFComment”.
Yea, TakeNotes is fine, and I used to use it…until I figured out that all I needed to replicate its behavior was a couple of lines of Pythonscript code. :-)
this is not really a notepad++ question I guess, because npp,
as well as any other text editor on the planet
doesn’t care about what kind of python libraries you use.
There must be something wrong in your run configuration
if the same code runs under IDLE but don’t run if executed,
by whatever way you chose to execute, via npp.
There seem to be a difference in OS as well because I went through all of the installed
fonts on my linux and none of them behave like described. I always see a consistent behavior regardless whether the 〕is used in front or not.
For example the font DejaVu Sans Mono on linux show only the rectangles.
sorry - seems I totally misunderstood what OP was asking for.
I thought OP wants to jump back to the original (starting) position,
not to the last position which was ok to be replaced. And now I’m thinking that
this jump (to where the action started) wasn’t possible before at all.
