Notepad++ / Discussion / [READ ONLY] Open Discussion: Feature Request: remember wrap search setting

Nobody/Anonymous - 2007-05-11

Each time I start NP++, I have to uncheck wrapped search again. Could you please store this setting with the program?

I would also like the CTRL+R Replace dialog to not automatically check the Selection box, when it does already copy the current selection to the Find field. It's not at all intuitive: why would I want to perform a search in the text I selected, for the text I selected? And why should I use the CTRL+R Replace then anyway? I could overwrite the selected text as easily.

Perhaps you could create a user default setting for this, either copying the selected text to the Find field, or leaving the Find field as it was and checking the Selection box, if there is a selection. Of course, I would also like this setting to be stored with the program, so I have to tell NP++ what I want only once.

  Ctrl+R is a plugin. Ctrl+H is the native Replace. Just FYI

  The same request about remembering the wrap setting, goes for that CTRL+H dialog as well. I use both, since both are not the same and have their own advantages and drawbacks.

  Seems like an old request, and I'm wondering if this has been made? Is it a setting somewhere that I overlooked?

    The word wrap setting is remembered. This was changed some time ago, I just don't know which version specifically.

      Sorry for digging up such an old post... I think this was the most appropriate thread.
      
      I would love to turn off the wrap feature by default. I also usually work with very large files . The wrap function is confusing, and since the searches take quite a while on big files, I am often frustratred that I have to uncheck the box to do something as simple as a search...
      
      im2crazy4u: it is remembered? Maybe in some earlier version it was, but on the current version. To be clear about this: I am talking about an unchecked 'Wrap around'-checkbox in the find-dialog. I want it to be unchecked each time I fire up notepad++ (the setting is remembered once np++ is open).

        Are you sorry for doing something _good_?!
        
        First of all, you show that you understand how forums can and ought to work: questions that have already been asked and answered, do not need to be asked again.
        
        Even if there was no answer to a previously asked question, it makes little sense to start a _new_ thread about it.
        
        There are some posters that complain something has been asked, but was never answered, before. If they do so, without even referring to the previous thread, then what is the use? Why create yet another thread about something that may even also not get any answer at all.
        
        If you want to make a smart impression, just reply to that very d*mned message you want(ed) to refer to. It will be immediately clear to any reader that the discussion was started before you did (again)...
        
        So, you just did a good thing.
        
        Here's another thread:
        
        "Turn off 'wrap around' in find" (Help forum)
        http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1751937&forum_id=331754
        
        What I think is important is this: it takes less effort to check the wrap around option when you are warned that searching has stopped, than to after some time realize you keep re-searching the same document over and over again and thinking: oh no, I just spent my time because that d*mned setting isn't turned on by default and checking it then yourself again... each time you have restarted Notepad++...
