    Hi,

    How do you prevent the console window always being "on top" (without docking), i.e. being able to switch from Npp to the console using the Alt-Tab key ?

    Thanks,
    Alan

      This is the same behaviour as with other plugins with docked windows such as Explorer/Favourites. A Notepad++'s child window is created using NPPM_DMMREGASDCKDLG, NPPM_MODELESSDIALOG and NPPM_DMMSHOW.

      I don't understand a word you're saying.

      All I'm interested in is whether one can "prevent the console window always being "on top" (without docking), i.e. being able to switch from Npp to the console using the Alt-Tab key".

      Yes or no ?

      If yes, how to proceed ?

      Thanks,
      Alan

      No.

      Thanks.

      Much more effective, isn't it ?  ;O)

      Consider it a feature request then.

      All the best and thanks for all that you do,
      Alan

      NppExec ver. 0.3 RC1 (under development) allows to hide a Console window with Ctrl+~ when the option "Hide toggled Console" is enabled. However, the Console is not hidden when there is some running console process - it looses a focus instead, the same as when "Hide toggled Console" is disabled.
      It's not exactly what you want, but at least it allows to hide inactive Console window.
