There's no specific support for GUI extensions (yet) but also nothing that blocks you from launching UI. I'd almost recommend starting by just launching your tool as an .exe with whatever information you need from PN, and go from there. Creating a .NET extension should be a case of making a wrapper for the PN api with Managed C++, but it's something I haven't had a chance to get around to trying yet. GUI integration would again probably be more difficult. There's possibly an answer in the above text, but if not feel free to ask for clarifications - happy to help you explore ideas and also to add to/modify the api to help out where it makes sense. simon on "XP - Pastes Multi-lines, Win7 - Pastes Single-lines?" http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/1132#post-3138 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:01:52 +0000 simon 3138@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ This is definitely not an intentional behaviour, please file an issue here: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/entry" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/entry</a> Make sure to include what version of PN you are using and also some instructions including what web site to copy from and what text to try copying to reproduce the problem.

These shortcut keys do work: <ul> <li><code>ctrl + ]</code> move cursor past next blank line</li> <li><code>shift + ctrl + [</code> extend selection to previous blank line</li> <li><code>shift + ctrl + ]</code> extend selection to next blank line</li> </ul> Notably absent is <code>ctrl + [</code> for moving the cursor to the previous blank line. This can be accomplished with a <code>shift + ctrl + [</code>, followed by left key. Unfortunately, these keys appear to be hidden in the key mapping options. Is there any hope of getting a single command that will move the cursor to the previous blank line?

It's spread across a number of files and I would like to write a tool to help me refactor and perform 'class exploring' type functions. The sorts of tasks I will need to do are: Searching lots of files. Pulling out class names, member variables and method signatures. Building some sort of hierarchy in a GUI. Modifying batches of files base on a series of rules. I've eyeballed the documentation and it's not obvious to my fatherhood-addled brain whether PyPN will be powerful enough or whether it's time to relearn a bit of C++ (I'm a C# .NET sort of person) and write a plug-in. Are making GUI extensions possible for PN?

When line(s) are selected Tab (or another shortcut key(s)) should indent the selected line(s) by a separate amount of spaces. SciTe has a method for this.

Maybe it is too much to ask, but if it is not too hard to implement and you think that it's worth it, take my suggestion of having it.

The only change to tools handling in PN 2.1 is that the text captured goes through Unicode conversion and back to ASCII for display. I'd be interested to know if the issue is easy to reproduce, and if it still occurs when Capture Output is turned off. If there is an easy set of repro steps then please send me a compiled program that shows the problem and I'll see if I can see PN doing anything wrong. Simon.

Since using PN 2.1.2 I have had a number of page file corruptions caused by running programs that have various segments faults (usually something like using a null pointer in C/C++). Now I have been an active member of a Programming forum for years and have run quite a lot of these poorly written student programs over the years, but it has not been until I upgraded to PN 2.1.2 that I have had these problems. The errors seem to occur when a program crashes when run from PN. I am currently using the tool: Command: %d$n.exe Folder: %d Capture output. A program like this (compiled with an only 1990's compiler like VC6) will cause the issue: <pre><code>#include<iostream> class World { public: World() { std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl; } ~World() { std::cout << "Goodbye World" << std::endl; } }; World TheWorld; int main() { return 0; }</code></pre> note that this is actually a perfectly valid program, but the old compilers don't compile it correctly and it has a segment fault when it exits. Did you change the way you handle running tools in PN2.1?

I extracted these into a directory I'll call PN: <a href="http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/portable-pn2122096.zip" rel="nofollow">http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/portable-pn2122096.zip</a> <a href="http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/pypn-0.11.1117-py26.zip" rel="nofollow">http://pnotepad.googlecode.com/files/pypn-0.11.1117-py26.zip</a> Then execute: <pre><code>pn.exe --findexts</code></pre> which apparently just inserts a line for each extension like this: <pre><code><extension path="pypn.dll"></extension></code></pre> into PN's config.xml. There are multiple config.xml. I'm not sure if they are all read and combined or just one is read, but config.xml can be in any or all of these locations: <pre><code>PN\config.xml PN\settings\config.xml %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Echo Software\PN2\config.xml</code></pre> In the portable version, "PN\config.xml" redirects config settings to the "PN\settings" directory (instead of the one in %USERPROFILE%) and uses "settings\UserSettings.ini" (instead of the windows registry). While there is a menu item to activate the Command Bar "Tools -> Command Mode Alt+X", it does not work until you add a key to PN's "Interface Settings" section (I found this tidbit in "PN\pypn\commands.py"). In the windows registry: <pre><code>[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Echo Software\PN\Interface Settings] Commandbar = 1</code></pre> - OR - for the portable version: In "PN\settings\UserSettings.ini": <pre><code>[Interface Settings] Commandbar=1</code></pre> A couple random bugs / points of confusion: - Tools -> Options -> Extensions: PyPN shows up as 0.10 even though I extracted it from pypn-0.11.1117-py26.zip - On pnotepad.org, the "Download Free" button links to the (older) stable version, while right below it is the News heading "Programmer’s Notepad 2.1.2 Released" referring to the testing version. It's easy to think that the download is that new release with those new features. Ideally, the button would include the word "STABLE", while the news heading would include the word "TESTING" (in caps or bold) to make it clear that these are different.
