About Notepad4

Notepad4 (Notepad2⨯2, Notepad2++) is a light-weight Scintilla based text editor for Windows with syntax highlighting, code folding, auto-completion and API list for many programming languages and documents, bundled with file browser plugin matepath.

What's new in 26.10r6392

  • Scintilla updated to 5.6.7, see https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html for the changes.
  • Add menu "File -> Update File Time" to touch current file (update modification time without change attribute or content), issue #1310.
  • Improved Russian translation, contributed by @Dimmitrius in PR #1308.
  • Use short name for manually saved backup file, issue #1314.
  • Lexer and API updates: HTML and PHP, Perl, Python, SQL, WebAssembly, XML.
  • Fix multiple "Inconsistent Line Endings" dialogs after file auto reloading, issue #1317.
  • Other bug fixes and improvements.

Behavior Changes

  • /g line[,column] (same as -g line[,column]) command line switch is changed to case sensitive (contributed by @lifenjoiner in PR #1305):
  • /G line[,column[,tabwidth]]: treat tab character as variable columns up to tab width (i.e. tab expansion), other character as single column. when tabwidth is zero or omitted use default document tab width.
  • /g line[,column[,type]]: no tab expansion, treat each character (when type is zero or omitted) or byte (when type is one) as single column. This matches Visual Studio and many others application where column is just character without tab expansion.
  • When column is negative: no tab expansion, treat each character as single column. negative column on "Goto" dialog is treated the same.
  • Style configuration for JavaScript inside HTML is moved into standalone JavaScript scheme (same as PHP).
