Column fuction

    Hi

    I use the column function a lot.

    1. But I have problems marking the columns at the end of the lines.
    The last line I mark must be the longest or I can not mark all lines to the end.

    2. Also when I try to "replace" "In selection" it does not just replace with in the selection.
    In general the "searce" and the "replace" "In selection" in the current version 4.7.5, does not seem to work.

    Any bright ideas??

    Thank you
    Benny

      Point 1: is caused because of lack of virtual spaces.

      This is one of the major lacking things in NPP for me (and most probably for others too).
      It has been asked to introduce that feature for a long time already, but despite the upgrade of Scintilla from 1.73 to 1.75 with version 4.8 of NPP, it's still not there...

      I really hope this lacking feature will be introduced soon...

      Point 2: I didn't see those search & replace problems in selection in 4.7.5...

      Best rgds,

        Please, only explain. Do not complain.

        As an alternative, you can use the advanced Find/Replace dialog (CTRL+R) which allows you to enter the column range yourself. The column numbers will also be displayed if you already have selected a block.
