It only checks if the file is updated when the app regains focus.

OK I found out by myself
Some commands are not well supported by macros but it’s possible to add them manually via editing shortcut.xml file

see n++ doc : http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Editing_Configuration_Files#.3CMacros.3E

In my case I wanted code “44042” which is “Hide Lines” in the menu (used Resource Hacker to check the menu entry code).

excerpt of my new shortcuts.xml file :
<Macros>
<Macro name=“test RDUV” Ctrl=“no” Alt=“yes” Shift=“yes” Key=“84”>
<Action type=“2” message=“0” wParam=“44042” lParam=“0” sParam=“” />
</Macro>

Thanks Jim - that works great whilst reviewing the document on-line but doesn’t change the printed output remains the same - I guess Courier 10.

Just like to have ‘flexibility’ to change font & size and save so that I could select a PREFERENCE. I have managed to change Portrait to Landscape in this mode.

I would have anticipated this to so such an obvious requirement but just haven’t managed to find

Hello, Anon Craigs

Yes, indeed, there are shortcuts for the behaviour that you would like to :-))

The DEFAULT main rules about Folding/Unfolding are :

A) The classical menu options, in the View tab, or the SHORTCUTS actions :

Fold All Levels ( ALT + 0 )

Unfold All Levels ( ALT + SHIFT + 0 )

Fold CURRENT Level, keeping the state of its sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + CTRL + F )

Unfold CURRENT Level, keeping the state of its sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + F )

Collapse Level N, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + Key N )

Uncollapse Level N, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels UNCHANGED ( Folded / Unfolded ) ( ALT + SHIFT + Key N )

B) The MOUSE gestures :

Single LEFT click, on a [-] symbol, fold the CURRENT level, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level
( Folded / Unfolded )

CTRL + single LEFT click, on a [-] symbol, fold the CURRENT level, as well as ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level, till the INNEST level

Single LEFT click, on a [+] symbol, unfold the CURRENT level, keeping the state of ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level
( Folded / Unfolded )

CTRL + single LEFT click, on a [+] symbol, unfold the CURRENT level, as well as ALL the sub-levels of the CURRENT level, till the INNEST level

Note : For this last action, you may, also, use the mouse gesture : SHIFT + single LEFT click, on the [+] symbol

Hello

This is more of a Windows problem to solve.

See following link for example :
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/change-icon-in-association-with-file-extension/4a46d2cf-405a-4e17-8158-69981531382b?auth=1

Have a look in the SourceForge discussion forum e.g. here or here

@gerdb42 I take that back. I just noticed that even when I didn’t have the “Force Administrator Mode” turned on it was still opening in Admin mode. I checked the box, applied the settings, and also enabled Comparability mode for Windows 8 just for the heck of it, and then unchecked admin mode and now the Network Drives are showing up again!

Solution:
If anyone else is having this problem I would suggest trying this first because it sure does beat going through the Registry line by line and deleting the entries. If you are having the problem, this is what did it for me:

Enable the “Force Administrator mode”, apply the settings Uncheck the Force Administrator mode, apply the settings If those two steps don’t work then try also forcing Compatibility Mode for Windows 8, applying the settings, and re-launching NP++ in NON-administrator mode and see if you’re able to see your network drives again.

I’m guessing this would only be a problem for people upgrading who may have had certain privileges set prior to the upgrade but I can’t remember whether or not that was the case for me.

@gerdb42 Is there a way to set this topic as solved so people don’t waste their time reading through it? I appreciate your help in getting this fixed! Thanks a million

Pete

Hi gerdb42, this works PERFECT - thank you sooo much for your effort!!

Upload your image somewhere (e.g. imgur.com) and when creating your post do something like the following.

Hi, Camilo and All,

Look, guys : I found a general, but difficult, regex but you, Camilo, you just pinpoint the right regex, which is quite adapted to your list. Bravo ! Moreover, against a big file, the regex engine will execute this regex faster than mime :-) I should have thought about it, some more time !

Of course, this implies that the state is a one-word, composed of two capital letters

So, instead of my complicated regex, it can be simply achieved with :

Find what : (?-i)\s([A-Z]{2},) Replace with : ,\1

Note : I just added the (?-i), at the beginning of the regex, in order to force the regex engine to search in a sensitive way, whatever the Match case option is set or unset

About the single quotes problem, there are, usually, 3 kinds :

The usual single quote ', ( Apostrophe ) of Unicode code \x27

The ‘ ( Left single quotation mark ) of Unicode code \x{2018}

The ’ ( Right single quotation mark ) of Unicode code \x{2019}

However, I’m a bit confused, as it seems rather easy to get rid of any of these 3 characters, with the simple S/R, below :

Find what : '|\x{2018}|\x{2019} Replace with : Leave EMPTY

Hello @Carl-in-'t-Veld,

AFAIK this how the current lexer is working.
Don’t know of any other html lexer yet.

Hello Kishor V

Basically, this kind of operation can be easily achieved with a search/replacement, in extended or regular expression mode

For instance, starting with the list below :

Family Name : Adams First Name : Paul Age : 17 Secondary School : St Andrews College

You would obtain, after the S/R :

Family Name : Adams First Name : Paul Age : 17 Secondary School : St Andrews College

Do you expect this behaviour ?

If so, after opening the Replace dialog ( CTRL +H ) :

A) If you check the Regular expression radio button :

Find what : :\R Replace with : :

Notes :

In the Replace zone, the colon is followed with a single SPACE

The \R syntax, means ( among other things ! ) any End of Line character ( \r\n with a Windows format, \n with an Unix/OSX format or \r with an old MAC format )

B) If you check the Extended (\n, \r, \t, \0, \x…) radio button :

Find what : :\r\n ( WINDOWS file format ) Replace with : :

Notes :

In the Replace zone, the colon is followed with a single SPACE

If you currently use other file format than Windows, just write the right End of Line character, in the Find what zone
