"you cannot make application modal windows in Notepad++" --> This is NOT true. "please correct me and show how" --> I'm not going to show you how with Tcl/Tk, because I don't like and don't use it. The capability can be easily demonstrated with this little UI toolkit that a PythonScript user created: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/24389 Suggest you check that out and if you have further questions, post to the community site and someone there will help you out.

This issue was found by a Notepad++ user and was mentioned tangentially in an issue here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/13944#issuecomment-1665094241 Subsequently, a formal N++ dedicated to it was opened here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/13969

The first thing I would do would be to update to the latest 64-bit N++ and PythonScript 2.0.

You could use Tk that comes with a full install of PythonScript. (I never liked Tk) I suppose you could use Windows low-level API for creating/managing windows, but that sounds, well, exhausting. I make do with the "prompt" function; here's an example: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/28702

No idea. You can always open an issue about it here: https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues I use CT without problem, but I always put my script icons to the right end of the toolbar anyway (it is where I want them so I've never tried anything else).

Yea, it's a known issue. You can get better results if you use the CustomizeToolbar plugin and set up the button that way.

Try it this way: editor.replace('"duration":300', '"duration":315360000')
