    Hello kapil kadane,

    Rather easy ! Follow the few steps below :

    Open Notepad++

    Select the menu option Settings - Style Configurator…

    Select Global Styles in the Language panel

    Select Default Style in the Style panel

    On the right, in the drop-down list Font name, choose one of the installed fonts, on your system

    Click on the Save & Close button, in order to valid this new default text font

    OR

    Click on the Cancel button, if you just wanted to see the appearance of the text, with the different fonts selected

    Just beware that there are two main categories of fonts :

    The monospaced fonts, as Consolas, Courrier New, Source Code Pro,…, which use the same physical length to write a character

    The proportional fonts, as Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana,…, which adapt the physical length used, to each written character

    To, easily, notice the difference, just insert the four lines, below, in your text. If these four lines have the same length, your present font is a monospaced one. If NOT, you, presently, use a proportional font !

    iiiiiiiii
    IIIIIIIIII
    wwwwwwwwww

    Best Regards,

    @Pete-Norris,
    Even easier - you can just set a keyboard shortcut to trigger the function parameter hint. It works as long as the cursor is between the parenthesis.
    You can see this in the menus under Edit > Auto Completion > Function Parameters Hint
    Just use the shortcut mapper to create a keyboard shortcut.

    @Peter-Strempel

    depends what you mean by language support.
    If you select HTML from the language menu then you get coloring and folding.
    If you install emmet plugin you get well, emmet.
    If you install XMLtools you can “pretty print” your code.
    If you install preview html plugin you get a preview mechanism …

    Cheers

    @cheryl-reckner ,

    Alternately, Settings > Style Configurator > Language:Global Styles > Style:Default style > Font size = ___ > 'Save & Close`

    @CatPurrfect

    unfortunately it looks like a bug.
    A “per npp start” workaround is to uncheck the default quote in settings dialog and define it as user defined,
    but as soon as you restart it doesn’t work again.
    Another solution might be to use a python script to do the auto inserts.
    Could look like this

    dict_complete_char = {'"':'"','(':')','{':'}'} def callback_CHARADDED(args): if(args.has_key('ch')): if dict_complete_char.get(chr(args['ch'])): editor.insertText(editor.getCurrentPos(), dict_complete_char.get(chr(args['ch']))) editor.clearCallbacks([SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED]); editor.callback(callback_CHARADDED, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED])

    In dict_complete_char you would define the pairs which should be inserted.

    Thanks Peter for your thinking
    So you mean that if the number is greater than 128 could mean that 128 added is replaceBySpace = yes?

    well i try to use only the value 6 instead of 128 + 6 :D

    UPDATE
    YESSSSS thanks Peter and Claudia for helping me!
    it’s exactly as you (and me) told
    128 + number means
    replaceBySpace = yes

    only the number of tabs i want means
    replaceBySpace = no

    so i used tabSettings=“6” and worked perfectly!

    thanks again guys!

    regards

    Simon

    @Maxim-Tursi

    Goto Settings->Style Configurator
    Select Global Styles under language
    select Default Style under style
    Change the font. You should see the changes immediately.
    If this solves the issue then the font which was used is broken.

    Cheers

    Hi Evrard,

    when you are saying

    Then I go to verify the page

    what exactly does this mean? You open the browser and load your file?
    You copy the file over to your webserver and then you are using a browser to verify?
    If so, do you use ftp to do this?

    You’re fishing in muddy waters? Good, this is where live the bigger fishes!

    No sharks, except wiresharks, please. ;-)

    A small disadvantage is, that it doesn’t work as simple as for example Microsoft Excel. In Excel it’s one step: Select the row, or cell, and activate Frees Panes. The work-around involves 5 steps, I didn’t mention the synchronize horizontal scrolling.
    I would like to select a row, right-click and freeze above, or freeze under. (or insert a small narrow separator)

    The big disadvantage is that big gray separator. It’s not nice, and it’s sometimes hard to see where a header is pointing to.

    @Michael-Bernhardt

    a python script could, temporarily, write a descriptive ruler as first line and keep it always visible.
    It could reformat the doc to have it more columnized or …

    Or it could overwrite a statusbar section. E.g the DOCTYPE section, the leftmost section on the bottom to show the current column
    or it could use npps second view to display it.

    If you are willing to install python script plugin I could try to write a script which does what you want.
    If so, please let me know what exactly should be done.

    Cheers

    I had lots of trouble with getting custom colors to work too. Today I finally found out the cause is due to using global defaults. Global defaults, I think, are supposed to be applied across all schemes, but I suspect when there are specific settings that are not defined in the global set, specific color schemes “bleed through”. So say you have a custom language setting for your favorite language Z#++ and a keyword defined for “iffin”, as in:
    iffin (thissaHappened) {

    }

    Since “iffin” is not already defined in Globals the color you set for “iffin” shows through. Just a speculation, but it seems to follow what I’m seeing.

    Here is what I did to get specific language defs to work:
    . Select theme: Default.xml
    . Set Language: Global Styles
    . Set Style: Global override
    . Turn off ALL global settings. You can leave the font selection enabled since that doesn’t affect colors.
    . Click Save & Close
    . Now go into Settings > Style Configurator and select your language-specific settings. When you make changes they will be visible in the editor.

    does your language support block comments?

    Notepad++ doesn’t have a java decompiler builtin, you need to download one.
