    @mkupper I’ve several times over the years WANTED to use sed for stuff under Windows, but it seems that it always became too much of a struggle with getting all the escaping correct, first thru the CMD shell layer, and then the sed layer itself. Don’t misunderstand, I’ve been using Unix/DOS/Linux/CMD command lines since the early 1990s, and consider myself near expert level with them. It just seems that there is “something” about a Windows port of sed that makes me nuts trying to get what I’m trying to do to work. However, @mkupper, maybe your recent posts have encouraged me to give it another go. :)

    Save As ... always maximizes window

    You can flip a window in/out of maximized mode by double clicking on the title bar. That works for the Save-As window too. Windows itself remembers the Save and Save-As window position and size for each application. Unfortunately, while it’s in the registry the data is buried in a blob within HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\CIDSizeMRU meaning it’s not easy to go in and reset an app to the defaults. If you ever are jammed and can’t see or get to the top of a window then do Alt-spacebar. You should get the same menu that you get when you use the mouse to click on the upper-left corner of an application. This trick works even if the window is dragged 100% off the screen and is not visible. You will then have either “Restore” available if the window is currently maximized or “Size, Move, and Maximize” options Using this menu you can also move and resize a window using the arrow keys to drag it back on screen if needed.

    Looking at this. I guess you should edit isCertificateValidated to always return true.

    Thank you @dail I think you would have been safe leaving the style variable typed as auto and to change line 924 < if (not notifyView->execute(SCI_STYLEGETHOTSPOT, style)) > if (not notifyView->execute(SCI_STYLEGETHOTSPOT, static_cast<uint8_t>(style))) It appears there’s a Scintilla bug in that it’s storing the style index bytes as int8_t rather than uint8_t. When a document has more than 127 styles then SCI_GETSTYLEAT, which returns an int, sign-extends the style byte index 128 to 255 into negative values when converting the int8_t into an int. That bug should not have mattered for most of the old npp code except line 924 where Scintilla expected you to pass a style index value from 0 to 255 to SCI_STYLEGETHOTSPOT. When you passed a negative value to SCI_STYLEGETHOTSPOT it returned false.

    Wow! Peter thanks. I followed what you said and is working. The only problem is that it seems that I lost the accents for good. I have a backup but it was not up to date :-( Thanks for the character search web page, very handy. The Déjà Vu font is impressive but then if I get used to it and open the file in other platform without the font I will not see some of the characters. Funny it use a dot instead of a forward slash for the zero. Peter thanks as well, very helpful comments.

    @Claudia-Frank Thank you. It seems to work. There is a similar issue on github: https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues/15 I added this as a comment there.

    @thecoolmacdude as long as it is html, yes you can. Afaik, html is the only lexer which supports different sublexers. Cheers Claudia

    @Young-En-Kim npp is an editor, not a webserver. Search the web for setup a webserver with php support or for php builtin webserver. Cheers Claudia

    I need side-menus to navigate huge text files.

    @Chad-Coffman - I use npp’s search feature to navigate within a huge file. I also take advantage of the fact that a “word” in npp is a consecutive series of letters, digits, and the _ (underscore) symbol. At the top or bottom of a file I’ll have an index or summary and use something like: * Section_01 - Overview of the issue * Section_02 - Some section of the file * Section_03 - Another section of the file At the start of each section I have something like Section_03 - Another section of the file To navigate to section 3 I double click on Section_03 in the index to highlight that word, Ctrl-F to bring up the find box, and then hit Enter. I suspect I could add a npp keyboard shortcut to search for the hightlighted word if there’s not already one. My fingers are happy with Ctrl-F Enter. While I used Section_01, … 03 in the example you can use any string for the section labels. I stick with the [a-z0-9] character set for section labels as it’s easy to select the entire word with either double click or Ctrl-shift left or right arrow. The downside of that approach is there’s no “back” button to jump back to where I used to be in a file. I also take advantage of file://… links to jump from file to file within npp and/or to launch viewers such as Firefox. For example, I’m currently dealing with AT&T about some stuff related to my DSL connection. In my ATT-DSL.txt project file I’ll have something like     03/12/2017 Received postal letter confirming automatic payment         file://c:/Projects/ATT-DSL/2017-03-12-Confirmation-letter-for-automatic-payment.png         file://c:/Projects/ATT-DSL/2017-03-12-Confirmation-letter-for-automatic-payment.txt The main project file has a summary. If I want to see the letter itself I can click on either the .png link which will pull up a scan in a web browser or the .txt link which is the results of running the png through an OCR program.
