    Hi,
    Two things quite simple to add, please?

    One, for the style configurator, a button to set the background color of an element to the default background (like it was transparent).
    I mean, I prefer dark backgrounds for the sake of my eyes, and it's real hard to go through all of the elements and styles and choose for each one a dark color that is not in the quick list (so many clicks until i get to the Color dialog...)

    A command in the TextFX menu to insert a character/string in front of every line in selected text.  Like inserting line numbers, but using my own string.
    And maybe a way to specify where (at what position) to insert that string?   E.g., position 0 means in front of line, position 1 = after the first character in every line, etc.

    Thanks,
    Adrian

      It should be nice if "Run" command captures output to console window. "Terminate" command can be useful too.

        Use the plugin NppExec instead.

      Another one :)
      in the Find and in Replace dialogs, a way to specify TABs and CR-LF "characters", both in the find box and in the replace box.

      I frequently need to find/replace/include those special characters, and I hate using MS Word just for this thing... (MSWord uses "^t" and "^p" for that)

      Or maybe there is already a way to do that?  i couldnt find it though...

      You could already do what you want with regular expressionhttp://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/regExpList.phh
      For tab it is \t, for search end of line it is $, but you couldn't user $ for replacement

      Also you can use a plugin with ctrl+r

      >A command in the TextFX menu

      Read the NPPTextFX\NPPTextFXdemo.TXT. Instructions for that and the rest are in there.

      >a way to specify TABs and CR-LF "characters"

      The Ctrl+R dialog already has this. Look at the bottom of the dialog when it first comes up.

      ^I=Tab ^M=Return

      this is done through the NppExec plugin. The output of the executed programs are shown in the console window of Npp. Try it you'll love it. For the one making compilation with gcc, if you double click on warnings or errors in the console window, it will jump to the file and to the line.
