I know I can do this in 'find in files' (which is the current method) but when I am refactoring, I find I use the find-in-files system a lot and can't have my todo list open and handy. Yes, this is something that visual studio does. Would anyone else find this useful or is it just me? RFE: setting file types via regex or wildcards (brofield) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5055#post-7314 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:46:48 +0000 brofield 7314@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ Hi, PN currently supports setting file types via either an extension (use a '.' prefix) or a full filename (no prefix). Since it already has a regex engine available to it, it would be very useful if matches to file types could use regex or even just wildcards: e.g. Match files "*_raw_http.log" and assign HTML All other "*.log" are assigned Plain Text Regards, Brodie How to set scheme via pypn (brofield) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5057#post-7316 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:44:35 +0000 brofield 7316@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ I'm trying to change the current scheme for the document via a pypn script, but I can't see how to do it. I'm sure it's easy, but I can't see it in the documents. I've tried: pn.CurrentDoc().CurrentScheme = 'HTTP' However the attribute is read-only and so I can't set it. Anyone have any suggestions?

But there are a few things which I think can be enhanced though. Some of them are dealing with the auto reload function. - First of all: The auto reload function. There is an option for deactivating the auto reload for a specific file - but I do not find an option for the opposite purpose. In my opinion, it is not comfortable if you have to accept the reload of a specific file every time it is changed outside - Second: The auto reload function ;) As there is not option to automatically reload all opened files the following may happen: I open a few files in Programmers Notepad, change them (without saving) and also change them from outside where I save them. After that I click the 'save all' button in Programmers Notepad - now I lose the changes which where made from outside programmers notepad. I think it would be great to get informed that there where also changes made from outside. There are also other improvements I could imagine which I will post another day ;) Best regards Sycko Open Files sort order - feature request (foote) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/3560#post-5671 Mon, 17 May 2010 17:00:35 +0000 foote 5671@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ First, let me say that I love programmer's notepad. I use it for java development, and it's by far the best editor I've found. One thing that really bothers me, though, is the order that open files are listed in the Open Files window. I'd really like to be able to sort this list alphabetically. It appears that they are listed in the order that they were opened in, but as I work, I tend to get many files open at once, and I have no idea which order they were opened in. This makes it very difficult to navigate my open files. I've found it's easier to just use the Projects window, and re-open each file as I need it, rather than searching for the file I already have open. Ideally, I think this ought to be a setting. Maybe it could be in a context menu that appears on right click in the Open Files window - just like the sort order appears in the windows explorer context menu. Thanks for a great product. If there's already some way of doing what I want, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, please consider it in a future release. Request: Synchronized Editing (bugmenot) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2780#post-4844 Sat, 01 May 2010 22:35:17 +0000 bugmenot 4844@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ A feature I would love to see in PN is called "synchronized editing" in RJ TextEd. Basically, you highlight a block of code then edit a variable name and all instances of that variable name in the highlighted block change as well. I know that Search and Replace accomplishes this, but a quick way to do it would be nifty.

Especially, _simple_ find in files(maybe incremental), and a simple shell extension for opening different file formats like Notepad++ does: "Edit with PN" button. You would be amazed how much people chose Notepad++ just for that stupid but useful shell feature. window focus goes somewhere (arisawa) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/650#post-2359 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:27:48 +0000 arisawa 2359@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ window focus goes somewhere when vertical scroll-bar is not displayed and mouse wheel is rotated.

Writing Python modules to handle a lite markup langauge (redherring) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/645#post-2331 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:27:56 +0000 redherring 2331@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ Hi PN Users I have just written a lightweight markup language which I want to integrate within an editor and it seems to me from what I've read so far PN may be the product I am looking for. However, I'd just like to check that what I want to achieve is feasible within PN before I start out. Please note - I am not asking how to do any of this. I just want to know if any of it is possible. The markup looks quite a lot like wiki markup but with a lot more structures available. I'd like to be able to create an off-line WYSIWYM editor by adding a Python module to PN. The parsing program is currently written in Perl but I was planning to port it to Python anyway. These are my issues: (1) Would it be possible, using PyPN to create an additional menu bar to be displayed within PN or is the Tools collection the only way to run programs? (2) I could use the clips collections for the markup but some of what I want to do does not quite fit that paradigm. For instance I want to prepend a character to every line in a highlighted block and indent the whole block. I'm not clear how far Python will interface with the existing functions in PN? Am I asking too much? (3) I want to create a syntax coloring scheme. I've already done it within EditPad but that editor allows regular expressions to match patterns. That's quite important as my opening and closing tags are always the same so the pattern matching has to be quite sophisticated. From my cursory look at PN I can't see any regexs in the schemes. (4) The final operation will be to save the file, send it to the parser for translation, create the output file, save it to a default folder previously set up by the user and then finally open the output file in a browser. I would imagin that this last bit will be easy as it can all be done by a Python script kicked off by clicking a button of some sort. I hope I am not asking too much here but I am not minded to write an entire editor from scratch! Thanks.

Then you can hit "enter" to load the top choice. This is a huge time-saver in big projects with tons of files and a deep hierarchy. Is there anything like that in pn? Thanks!

I wanted to suggest a feature, not sure where to suggest it properly, so I do it here and hope that you'll correct me if I'm at the wrong place. Feature: Auto-Hideable windows: Example: To hide the output dialog when another view is selected, and show it when new information is displayed onto it. Scenario: You compile, and get feedback in the output -> the output window shows itself. It then hides when you start typing in the code. This is the same behavior which Visual Studio has to its output dialog and any other for that matter.

Feature request: Better script management (kuukkeli) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/428#post-1511 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:23:35 +0000 kuukkeli 1511@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ Currently all scripts within scripts folder are listed when PN starts. Even with quite few scripts this leads to cluttered script window and forces the user to fold away some of the script groups every time PN is started. I'm making few suggestions that in my opinion would be improvements and that could be implemented either separately or en masse. 1. Make PN remember which script groups were folded. 2. Make an option to start PN with all script groups folded. 3. Make a context menu for script window that allows user to tick script groups on and off for good (maybe some sort of "blacklist" is kept as a file and if script's group matches an entry there it's not loaded). This probably needs quite a bit of work but with #1 it would be in my opinion an ideal solution.

Colored codes is very essential for readability. (I used to manually color them !!!) My current method is to paste my codes into Visual Studio editor (overkill). 1. Copy the colored text into the clipboard. 2. In PowerPoint, use Edit > Paste Special > Formatted Text (If step 2 does not give good result, I paste it into Word first then repeat the steps from Word) It would be great if the pnotepad can also copy text as formatted text.

I think a good idea would be to give pn a transparency feature. Sometimes I need to take note of numbers or GUIDs on the screen, that I cannot copy and paste into pn, and then I have to resize the window in order to view the number while writing it down... A transparency feature would be great so that I can "see through" pn and write down the GUID or whatever, and not have to resize and move the window. feature-request (troels) http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/186#post-664 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 22:09:47 +0000 troels 664@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ This is one awesome editor. I finally found an editor which can replace textpad. I have a few feature-requests/improvements, listed in order of preference: 1) In PHP (and a few other languages), variables always begin with a $ sign. It would be nice if the editor knew that this sign is part of the word, so that when you doubleclick the variable or hold down Ctrl and use the arrows to move through text, one word at a time, the $ is considered part of the name. 2) Possibility to launch a user-defined help-file from a keyboard-accelerator, preferably calling it with the text at cursor as a search argument. I used this feature a lot textpad, and I'm missing it. 3) Regex search when searching in files would be nice. 4) Optional auto-convert tabs to spaces on document load. 5) Optional strip superfluous whitespace chars from end of line on save. 6) The tiny toolbar at the bottom ... how about giving an option to hide it? I like as little distraction as possible, so I tend to disable all toolbars/docks/whatever.
