Thing is the column mode should draw a perfect rectangle and it's currently selecting characters that are not there. I really don't know how to explain it better, so I took a couple screenshots, one from UltraEdit (which has the column mode done right) and the other for PN2 which shows the problem.</p> <p><a href="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4554/uecolumnmode.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4554/uecolumnmode.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/6188/pn2columnmode.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/6188/pn2columnmode.jpg</a></p> <p>I know this is probably because of Scintilla, but is there any chance this could be fixed ? I'd really want to switch from UE since PN2 really works better in a lot of regards (like folding which is really slow on big files on UE).</p> <p>Also, thanks for writing this fantastic editor.</p> <p>Carlos </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5114#post-7490 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 23:58:39 +0000 Nux 7490@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi. I'm just wondering if it is possible to know that the selected block is a rectangular selection and how to make operations on this selection? What I would need is at least an information at which line does the selection starts and ends and probably column numbers... Or maybe simply dimensions and a starting position... But some kind of access to a collection of lines in this selection would be wonderful.</p> <p>I'm asking because I want to do a script that would add tags around each selected line of code in this block. Picture for example a space indented table to which you want to add an extra cell in each row or add links inside this cells...</p> <p>BTW. I just discovered something amazing :-). When I select few lines of code with ALT pressed I can write on few lines of code at once and even delete characters on each of these lines. This is great :D! </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5045#post-7284 Sat, 07 Aug 2010 14:49:06 +0000 Remigius 7284@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'm a new user and having some troubles with the search and replace function. I have created 2 projects, but when I try to do a search the "current project" is always greyed-out as well as the "in selection". When I go to the replace function I do have "in selection" active, but not "current project".</p> <p>Is this a known issue?

Thanks for making PN2. I recently switched from Notepad++, but I found it to be infuriating. PN2 looks exactly like what I was looking for.</p> <p>Anyway, I was showing my dad PN2 (he uses pspad) and he liked it except for one thing. I can't find it in the edit menu or in the settings dialog box. The ability to make a box selection. To allow you to select a box of text that isn't line wrapped and paste it. So you can select a column instead of selecting the entire lines.</p> <p>I don't think this would be possible in a script, but I haven't really delved into that yet.</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/391#post-1372 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:19:31 +0000 jakeahearts 1372@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'm fairly new with PN after having too many problems with jedit... Anyway, I can't get Search Selection to work. I select some text, do a control-F and the only option I ever have is Current Document with the rest grayed out...<br /> Any help would be appreciated.<br /> Eddy </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/54#post-207 Thu, 04 May 2006 16:32:58 +0000 dsowa 207@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>If you hold down ctlr-alt you can make<br /> rectangular selections with either the mouse or<br /> keyboard. That's a rather significant feature to<br /> not be mentioned anywhere, but I'm not going<br /> to complain, I hate documenting things too. </p>
