Great! I really hated that border around the edit zone. Anyway, as a minor issue, there are still some parts of Npp which are not translated, like the "would you like to save" dialog when closing without saving, and the "number of matched occurrences" dialog (Search > Find > Count).

Thanks!.
The new features in the Project Manager are a nice addition.

One problem, not sure if this thread is the right place to post it, but here goes: if Word wrap is enabled from the View menu and the Compare plugin is used via the Plugins -> Compare -> Compare, then the two compared files lose word wrap. View -> Word wrap is still ticked. If the compare is closed then View -> Word wrap has to be invoked again to restore the word wrap. This is 5.9.8 Unicode, Compare 1.5.6.1
Thanks

What was the point of allowing the app_data plugins to override the defaults. As a sysadmin I might want to allow users to install plugins but not necessarily be able to overwrite plugins that I've installed with the system.

As a sysadmin I might want to allow users to install plugins but not necessarily be able to overwrite plugins that I've installed with the system.
A different sysadmin might also want to allow the users to update the plugins that they use.
Practically, it's pretty hard to identify that a plugin is "duplicated" - DLL name can obviously be changed by the user, and some plugins report their name based on the filename. So if a user really wanted a different version they could always get round it.
From a "logical usage" point of view, either you allow users to install plugins, and they are taken first, together with what is installed at a system level, or you don't. Too many if's and but's in a rule about which plugin was taken could cause confusion. I think the way it is is obvious to use.
You're welcome to add an idea on ideatorrent to request that a second option be added to not allow overriding plugins that are already installed.

I'm having a problem with the search and replace. Consider the following file with leading spaces:
this is text
this is text
this is text (this line has 4 leading spaces)
I'm trying to remove just the first space from all lines. If I search and replace the regular expression /^ /, it removes all leading spaces - including all four from line 3. If I search and replace /^./, it removes all characters from the file, leaving nothing but blank lines.
I'm using version 5.9.8 UNICODE on Windows XP SP 3, and I had the same problem on version 5.6.2. Can anyone else reproduce this behavior?

There are two work-arounds for this "keeps eating" problem.
1. The regular Ctrl+H Replace dialog.
The problem is that, after removing the first character, the search engine still thinks it is at the first position of the line. Well, it may be, but this surely isn't the start of the line as you intend it to be. You can work around this problem bij (re)placing a character at the first position.
Use the following regular expression in the Find field:
^ (.)
In the Replace By field, enter this:
\1
This will re-place the first captured group, which is indicated in the Find field by parentheses.
So this will replace the originally second character. This new first character will make the search position move to the (newly) second character of the adjusted line.
2. Use the Text FX Replace dialog (Ctrl+R).
In this dialog, you can check the "1 per line" checkbox.
You can then use the regular expression as intended.
In the Find field, enter without quotation marks:
"^ "
Leave the Replace By field empty.

That would be fine, if the default languages could be modified, and be visible in the Language menu with a new name without learning C++ or Visual Basic and compile a new dll. For example, I want to modify the C only by adding/removing/editing keywords and functions, but not colors or styles.
User-defined would be good for it, because that makes an XML file, but:
- We can't base on the C language
- It doesn't highlight the pair of the brackets when we select one
- We can't define functions
So it would be a very cool improvement, if you could do it somehow.
Thank you.

Hi,
Could you add Tab hotkey feature to Project panel in next version to switch to editor panel?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you try to insert a block comment after selecting a block of text that is past the cr/lf in a set of lines (using alt click to select the line and alt + c to insert the text), notepad++ will crash.
end ofthislinehere->|selectedline->|AndItrytoselectablockaboveandbelowthischaracter->|end ofthislinehere->|selectedline->|

First of all, thanks a lot guys for providing this wonderful software! I started using Notepadd++ recently, and have found Notepad++ superior all other editing tools I was using earlier.
I have a question specifically about folds.
Is there an easy way to add keywords which indicate the begin and end for fold? I see that for SQL, folds don't always work when CASE statements are used. Notepad++ identifies "
CASE
" to be a keyword to start a fold, and looks for "
ENDCASE
" to end the fold. However, this syntax is valid only in PL/SQL. In plain simple SQL, a
CASE
ends simply with an "
END
".
So, want to find if there is an easy approach to fix this? If not, can this be kindly taken for a future release?

Mark functionality (4th tab of Find _ dialog) isn't accessible easily. Unlike for other 3 pages in _Find dialog (Find, Replace, Find in Files), there is no 'Mark…' item in Search menu, opening Find dialog on 'Mark' tab.
There's also issue with tabbed control UI component in the whole NP++: Ctrl+Tab is not switching tabs in tabbed control. Assigning accelerator to tab (e.g. '&Replace in Files') shows underlined letter but keyboard does not work.

Think there is an issue with this application and network shares. I've had an issue where a network drive went down and i attempted to save. The application hangs and does not respond.
The second issue is if you wait long enough for the network drive to come back online. The application thinks the file is on the drive is new and asks to reload your document. If you click no it will then not show the save button so you can save your work. The application never saved the changes so the save icon should be enabled and not disable in this event.

Nice program,
but if i update to a new version, every time my own contextMenu.xml is overwritten by the standard file.
next time you can download the minimalistic package and then you can compare whats new and take it.
@mrouzo:
Fixed.
In next release contextMen.xml won't be overrided by installer.

I would just make sure that the allow APPDATA XML file is not present and there is nothing overridden.

You don't have to use slashes. Just type "^ " or "^\s" (without quotation marks).
There are two work-arounds for this "keeps eating" problem.
1. The regular Ctrl+H Replace dialog.

You can then use the regular expression as intended.
In the Find field, enter without quotation marks:
"^ "
Leave the Replace By field empty.
Actually, in the suggested solution:
Change the find pattern to
to make it work correctly with lines containing just a single space character in them.

Hi,
Well, it's not a bug report, just an idea.
That would be fine, if the default languages could be modified, and be visible in the Language menu with a new name without learning C++ or Visual Basic and compile a new dll. For example, I want to modify the C only by adding/removing/editing keywords and functions, but not colors or styles.

This is not a bug. Your default document encoding seems to be UTF-8 with BOM. Change this to ANSI or UTF-8 without BOM, depending on what the files are for.
