I have a very similar situation and am having a rough time getting the proper regular expressions in my functionList.xml for my user defined language. Here are some details and examples:

Functions are defined with the (always case insensitive) word “def” and may or may not be preceeded by a 5 digit number. all function names must start with “fn”
If a function has parameters they are included in parenthesis after the function name. Parameters will be seperated by commas. However one semi-colon may seperate all the optional parameters from the required ones (instead of a comma)
Examples

def fnwhat3ver
00100 def fnAnotherExample
DEF FNwithParameters(arg_number,arg_string$)
00200 Def FnWithOptional(par_12;par_option_3)

I really appreciate any help on this matter. I am a long time user and lover of Notepad++ and hope to implement this feature for myself and to win over some new n++ users.

I believe you need to install the notepadd++ as PORTABLE. Once you do that than it will look to the working directory for it’s userdefined languages and such. Then, once you have it all set up, you can zip up and ship out that whole directory with all the settings, etc. Hope this helps.

I would recommand to try uninstall Notepad++, reboot the computer, verify there isn’t any files in all Notepad++'s folders (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++, and %appdata%\Notepad++) and then reinstall it.

Solved.
It turns out, “HOME” key in keyboard is always pressed :D

P.S. Sorry for my bad english (google translate)

ps the file is safe to download i used several virus programs…
windows must not like that site…or maybe its just my windows that doesn’t like it, … just click and override the notice to download.

i have uploaded it to a new site, in case you don’t want to download that one…

Hello David,

You’re welcome.

NPP is undoubtedly a great editor. Combining Latin and Hebrew, however, is much easier with EditPad.
It is a developer editor and you can set a custom syntax highlight.

I use a toolbar button in both editors to open the current file (and line) in the other editor.

In NPP:
<Command name="פתח ב- EditPad..." Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">&quot;C:\Program Files\EditPad Pro\EditPadPro7.exe&quot; &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot; /l$(CURRENT_LINE)</Command>

and in EditPad:
"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\NP\notepad++.exe" "%FILE%" -n%LINE%.

Best regards.

@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.

Cheers
Claudia
