@Ekopalypse cool, thanks for advice, turned out to be pywin32_system32 not being searched for some reason

Apparently lookup path was (intentionally screwed up) modified

I managed to fix my problem by placing pywintypes38.dll and pythoncom38.dll to NPP root

@chersanz

you are looking for bufferactivated event.
One way to track this is to use setproperty and its get variant.
Or you do write your own document management.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Is there a plugin to close tabs by RMB (open tab options by Ctrl+RMB):

If you accidentally do this in the wrong place, with quick actions enabled (e.g. little X on the tab), you could do some damage (well, close a file you don’t want to, and then have to remember which one it was to retrieve it).

Ctrl+Shift+T could be of help here in order to repear a wrong move. Just my two cents.

Did you succeed to handle customizing of your menu buttons eventually ? If so, how did you do ?

@Bernd-Schneider
You could use tag lookup plugin.
With ctags generate tags file where every file name is a tag. Then just lookup the filename regardless of the relative path.

Usefulness depends on how you name the files. If you have 1000 file named page001.html then this approach would not help, but if most of your file names are rather unique then it should be the easiest way to go. Few duplication are not an issue because you could select them manually.

@E-de-Miguel said in [New Plugin] BetterMultiSelection:

Example: I have 200 hundred lines and I want to add some text at the end of each line. I would love to multi-select all the lines with Shift+Alt and press End to go till the end of all selected lines with the carets enabled yet (now the N++ loses those multi-carets) .

I have no problem doing this (with BetterMultiSelection installed and enabled). I make a column-block on (any) parts of all the lines I want to affect – doesn’t have to be something that boxes in the entire line – and then I press the End key and blammo! – I get a bunch of carets at the end of each individual line.

@E-de-Miguel

@Alan-Kilborn is describing the expected behavior and I also do this frequently.

@rinku-singh ,

What does a PR for NppGTags plugin have to do with the issue at hand? A random link, and the statement “i think you are at windows 10”, doesn’t help anyone understand what you are trying to get across.

If you think the NppGTags solution will help @Guido-Thelen solve his problem, you will have to explain how and why you think that.

edit: Are you suggesting, like in the issue behind that PR, that @Guido-Thelen should install/update his Visual C++ redistributable 2015-2019 ? /edit

Hi, follow-up. I go spell working, I think. FYI if I click on the “?” in ++ it brings up a window asking about the path for Aspell and guessing that is where i got off course. thanks, this marginally computer literate appreciates your help.

@Roy-Booth

Your title “in all files” disagrees with the body “in current document”

In addition to Alan’s suggestions, here’s another:

perform (current doc) s&r so all instances of the text have a loud flag, for ex. "CREATE TABLE(ATTENTION ROY!) do 1 normal search on the altered text; use F3 to cycle thru all hits, making any changes or fixes you require do a final (current doc) s&r so all instances of (ATTENTION ROY!) are removed

@PeterJones
fine, thanks.

@ricardo-cours ,

If you are still around, I would recommend that you let the author of nppxmltreeview know of your results – that “Rome” wouldn’t work with v7.9.1 32/64 for you, but “Berlin” would – so that the author can try to fix the plugin. Otherwise, other people will have the same problem you did.

just go to the nppxmltreeview issues and submit a new issue.

@Tusar-Tarun ,

You didn’t mention what version you upgraded from, or what version you upgraded to. If the “from” was old enough, the plugin would have to move.

Other things to look at:

If you want more than that, you’re going to have to provide more detail.

dark [mode]

Probably not to your definition. There are plenty of dark themes in the Settings > Style Configurator > Select Theme pulldown options. But that doesn’t change the UI itself to use a “dark mode”. You can search the forum for plenty of other topics about this… it might be possible to configure Windows to be dark, and the Notepad++ UI will inherit that darkness. But that’s really not a Notepad++ -specific question (though the linked search will provide some insight into the process)

@Michael-Tielemann

Probably best to post your idea for it here; see what is thought of it.

Simplified version.
Place this text in the ‘Notepad ++ \ plugins \ jN \ jN \ includes’ directory and this functionality will work for you on the selected text by pressing the ‘Ctrl + Shift + C’ hotkey.

// trdm 2020-11-20 11:44:27 // вычисляет выделение в N++ как выражение с пом WSH javascript 'eval' // file: C:\_ProgramF\Notepad++\plugins\jN\jN\includes\trdmUtil.js // repo: https://github.com/trdm/jn-npp-scripts function evalSelection() { var selTextOrig = Editor.currentView.selection; if(selTextOrig.length == 0) { return; } var vRezult = 0; try { vRezult = eval(selTextOrig); } catch(e) { vRezult = ''; } if(!vRezult) { return; } else if(vRezult == NaN) { return; } Editor.currentView.selection = selTextOrig + " = "+vRezult; } var myEvalSelectionItem = { text: "Eval selection \tCtrl+Shift+C", ctrl: true, shift: true, alt: false, key: 0x43, cmd: evalSelection }; if (!jN.scriptsMenu){ var scriptsMenu = Editor.addMenu("jN.scripts"); jN.scriptsMenu = scriptsMenu; } scriptsMenu = jN.scriptsMenu; addHotKey(myEvalSelectionItem); scriptsMenu.addItem(myEvalSelectionItem);

@Asif-Mute ,

That’s not the way that Notepad++ plugins work. Just install the ones you want.

I think I found out what the original problem was

Lots of people had 7.5.7 installed when I upgraded their version up to 7.9.1
I had not remembered there was an discussion around 7.6.2. where to put the plugins, so when I bumped up the version to 7.9.1, plugins were removed.

I tested removing notepadplusplus and installing it again, the extra plugins I used, persisted after the upgrade.

Hello, @eyal-plotkin, and All,

Well, I think that you should download the last N++ release v7.9.1 !

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v7.9.1/

A major regex enhancement fixes some bugs about the look-behind structures and some look-behind assertions as \A and \b :

Refer to point 3 of the change.log file :

3. Fix RegEx look behind operations and \A and \b and \z (Fix #713, #1870, #2216, #2360, #9004, #4855).

Best Regards,

guy038

It’s not a secret :) My activity on GitHub includes NppExec and two plugins for AkelPad text editor. AkelPad is unbelievably customazible: it can be a simple SDI editor similar to the standard Notepad; it can be an MDI text editor without advanced features; it can be an advanced MDI code editor with syntax highlighting, additional plugins and scripts. Finally, it is written in C, and it is small and fast.

Also, due to project needs several years ago I’ve bought Sublime Text. It is fast (not as fast as AkelPad, but anyway) and has some outstanding features for developers (including “indexing” that allows IntelliSense-like experience). On the other hand, I was shocked how hardcore and unfriendly Sublime Text is when it comes to customization. For example, I went through several circles of hell before I managed to change the background color of selected text. (While you need just a few seconds to do the same in Notepad++ or AkelPad!) Another example: Sublime Text’s workspace files can be highly customized by the user, on the one hand, but, on the other hand, it is achieved only by manual editing of these files - and the editor does not even try to suggest you what you can type in this file and what you can not! Finally, Sublime Text is updated much less frequently comparing to Notepad++ and I have not felt any benefit from being a registered user (who have bought the license): all my questions in the forums had been answered by experienced Sublime Text users (similarly to what we have in Notepad++ forums) rather than by developers’ representatives, and I had not received any official answer from the developers regarding two features I proposed (unsimilarly to Notepad++ forums) as if I was just ignored by them.
