Paste text into N++ without modification

    Hi,

    How can I paste a text into N++ without N++ (automatically) adding/changing/deleting any controlcodes?

    For example a text like: a<CR>b<CR><LF> gives me either a<CR>b<CR> or a<CR><LF>b<CR><LF> or a<LF>b<LF> (depending on the selected format).

    Is there a way how to paste without (automatic) modification?

    I believe there should be a format that does exactly that. You can always convert it to the wanted format (windows/unix/mac) lateron.

    Regards,

    Matthias

      I see that the TextFX Viz Settings menu has a default check mark on the "+Viz Copy-cut always converts to CR/LF", but I don't know if unchecking it and using the Viz copy features will allow pasting "as-is".  You could experiment with selecting the Unix file format, or use the "View in Hex" plugin, or find an editor that isn't designed for primarily editing source code.  --Joel
