Notepad++ 4.8.2

[EL1TE]

Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment. This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.

Notepad++ v4.8.2 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.8.1) :

1. Fix unicode input problem for non-western language.

2. Add the capacity (behaviour) of keeping line highlighting even when Notepad++ loss its focus.

3. Fix missing fonts problem in font list of Stylers configurator.

4. Fix the hot key problem : make Alt+f+s work again.

5. Fix the hardware problem : make keyboard commands (such as "e-mail", "calculator",

"sound", ...) works again.

Notepad++ v4.8.1 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.7.5) :

1. Enhance Shortcut Mapper - all the commands (including plugins commands) can be assigned to a shortcut, even for the unmapped ones.

2. Upgrade Scintilla from v1.73 to v1.75

3. Add multi-line and vertical capacity for tab bar.

4. Add launch "as notepad" style feature (detection of asNotepad.xml, then launch notepad++ with -multiInst -nosession -notabbar options).

5. Add detection mouse wheel on the different view feature : User can scroll edit view when mouse on it, it's not necessary to set edit view as current view to scroll it.

6. Add clicking middle mouse button click to set current view feature : make clicked edit view be focused, but the cursor position does not change.

7. Add mouse wheel horizontal scroll feature (vista only).

8. Add mouse browsing (forward/back for switching to next/previous document) feature.

9. Make orange indicator on the top of tab lighter when the view loss the focus.

10. Add new look and feel of Docking container.

11. Fix word-completion crash bug while the word to complete exceeds 256 characters.

12. Fix full screen mode bug : can not switch applications by using Alt+TAB in full screen mode.

13. Fix Preference crash bug.

14. Add the utf8->ansi / ansi->utf8 conversion feature.

15. Add Go to offset feature (in Go To Line dialog).

16. Fix folding bugs while deleting the begin/end folding keywords.

17. Fix position restored bug : Wrap position is restored correctly while switching back document.

18. Fix locking current directory behaviour : Restore Notepad++ directory as working directory with no open files.

19. Fix the multi-line tab height display problem while adding/removing the document.

20. Enhance the auto-completion feature : user can define the number of characters to trigger auto-completion popup window.

21. Change the horizontal scroll behaviour from dynamic one to static one.

22. Fix the bug that cannot save file(s) if application closed while minimized.

Outstanding ELITE and thanks ;)

[WarStorm]

Good Stuff... thanks Elite

[remix17]

Thanks! I love notepad++!

[monacelli]

I used to swear by UltraEdit until I gave this a try. Thanks for the update.

[MGS4-SS]

Downloaded! Thanks for the heads up!

[Steve Gosselin]

Thanks for the heads up.

Has the autoupdater ever worked for anyone? :/

[Jotnar]

The Ruby Blue styler is nice and I'd use it more if it had syntax highlighting for more than 4 languages. The Vibrant Ink styler has all of them set, so I don't have to go in there as set them for each language I want the highlighting for.

[Ficman]

Sweet... Thanks!!!

Here are some TextMate clones for Windows:

InType - free (in early development stages but it promises a lot and already has a lot of features)

e - texteditor - commercial (supports TextMate bundles)

A sure keeper, but doesn't open fast enough on a 3800+ to be a notepad replacement. = (

<3's Notepads less then half a second starts.

Try Notedpad2. I use it as a notepad replacement... just as fast to load. It has fewer features than Notepad++ but many more than the regular notepad.

Never worked here, and the option to check for updates crashes (under vista) as it requires the app to be ran with admin credentials, something I don't want to do for two reasons, first being it shouldn't need admin privileges and second i would have to click through the UAC dialogue every time I run it :( And no I don't want to disable UAC on my system :)

That said however, this is a brilliant app.

[Brony]

At least for a old version, update worked.

[Dazer]

Just wish it had multiline find.. Is there a plugin for this?

[DigitalE]

Thanks for the notice :) I love Notepad++.

[dasadler]

Cool. Thanks Elite.

I have been using Notepad++ to maintain several websites and wondered if you, or anyone, knows how to configure it so that I could have either

1) multiple instance open (each with a set of files it will remember for the next time)

or

2) multiple profiles within the one instance so I can quickly switch between sets of files

1) multiple instance open (each with a set of files it will remember for the next time)

Maybe this bit of info will help you:

In this version, user can make Notepad++ have the same behaviour as MS Notepad (ie. multi-instance and no tabbed interface) by adding a file with zero length named asNotepad.xml.

Thanks for the response Avi. Maybe I did not explain clearly but I do very much like the tabbed interface (where each tab is a different document). However, I would like to have multiple instances of NP++ where each instance has its own set of tabs containing the group of documents for that particular project.

Does that make sense?

Of course it makes sense. How about you add a feature request (to the SF.net's tracker) for the next Notepad++ version and hopefully the developer will implement it...

Good idea. Done - Request ID: 1934998

Sorry to drag up an old post, but I thought this might be of help for others who googled "notepad++ multiple instances".

Add "-multiInst" to the Notepad++ shortcut.

For instance,

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -multiInst
