I miss only one thing in NP++. It's the column mode. Crimson Editor has this function and it let's you select areas of text. (Using equal width characters). (Like the selection in command windows /dos prompt/ works)
It helps A LOT in cases like this:
you have
something here and xd chars here
something here and 42 chars here
something here and 23 chars here
something here and xa chars here
and you want this:
something here and xa chars here
something here and xa chars here
something here and xa chars here
something here and xa chars here
or you have this:
MAINLINE1
line1
line2
subline1
subline2
line3
sub1
sub2
MAINLINE2
and want this:
line1
line2
subline1
subline2
line3
sub1
sub2
I hope you understand me.
Take care,

PS: NP++ is great anyway!!!

Hi,
I am not sure I understood correctly. but if you'd like to select/copy/paste blocks of text (instead of selecting the whole line), you can do it by holding the Alt key and using your mouse to select the desired area. I am not sure whether there is a keyboard alternative.
Hope this helps

Yes, you can use Plugins/TextFX Edit/Insert clipboard though lines. Just copy the text to be inserted to the clipboard, alt-select the lines you want to insert it into (with the left limit at the actual place you want it inserted), then use that plugin.

Oh N++ has no column mode? Bugger. (I'm quite new to N++...)
It has column mode, but you can't type or modify text in column mode, like in crimson editor or ultraedit.

Hi!
I didn't know this, thanks for the info. Selecting is good with this but I cannot type while multiple rows are selected.
I have:
XZ here
ZT here
ZT here
I want:
XZ aaaa here
ZT aaaa here
ZT aaaa here
or simlpy:
XZ here
ZT here
ZT here
Can i do this now?
Thanks for the answer in advance,
TG

Thats the only reason that keeps me sticking to ultraedit or the good old crimson editor, their column mode is great...
Keep on your great work!
Anyone form the developers?
Is this planned?
TG
Yes, I vote for develop column mode.
I use ultraedit only for column mode.
