The safest way to make this work (regardless of tab settings that are handled inconsistently across different applications) is to use spaces rather than tabs.

yes we have to update the ( %APPDATA%\Notepad++ ) and earlier i tried from Notepad++ editor itself, now when i tried from another editor, it did reflect the modifcations.

thanks for the help, dail

It seems to only happen on documents that have a CRLF character

@Peter-Brand

This is what I was looking for. I used the plugin forever, then when I installed the new version on my new machine I noticed a function list was “built-in”. It does not work apparently.

This works exactly as it used to. Thanks Peter.

@dail

It does not. It shows up: Plugins>Function List. You can actually have both the plugin and the built in list open together.

Does the"Column / Multi-Selection Editor" dialog box pop up? If so, what happens when you click on the radio button “Number to insert”, does that panel then become active?

I like to use a program called “unlocker”. Once installed you can right click the file and it will tell you want program(s) have that file locked and you can force it to be released.

Hi Timothy,
it was my first idea too, I tried to check the copied text from e.g. Write and Notepad++ in WinMerge (winmerge.org), but these were without differences! :-P :-D
I will try to ask the same question on some Juniper community and see if someone else had the same issue…

Hello Bob,

Depending of your N++ installation, the shortcuts.xml file, which contains a Macros section, should be located :

in the %AppData%\Roaming\Notepad++ folder, if you used the installer ( the npp.x.x.x.Installer.exe file )

in the same folder than you copy the Notepad++.exe file, if you used a ZIP or 7Z archive ( the npp.x.x.x.bin.zip or npp.x.x.x.bin.7z files )

Cheers,

So I figured out that the path NP++ is looking for langs.model.xml in is not correct. I think it is because I have all of the source code on my external hard drive. I noticed though when I just downloaded the installer (as opposed to building from source), there is an option to NOT use %APPDATA% if you are running NP++ from a USB drive. What do I need to do to enable this option if building from source code?

You must edit shortcuts.xml with an editor other than Notepad++. That may be the problem.

@Dror-Harari I suggest you removing all plugins to make sure if it’s Notepad++ issue. If it is, then I will try to reproduce the hanging, then fix it.

I found the answer myself.
The Settings are saved in
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\config.xml
but not until you close Notepad++
so if for some reason you don’t close it, then the settings are easily lost!
