and put some of the "hidden" shortcuts into NP3's menu tree.
- couldn't reproduce the "reload as UTF-8 not work bug" in NP3 (?) - so didn't merge the related change.
(if someone can reproduce it, please tell me)
+ I "guard" the shortcut for direct editing the NP3's .ini-file (Ctrl+F7) by disabling "Save Settings Now (F7)" and "Save Settings on Exit" - Flag
as long as I edit the settings file itself.
(Example not disabling this: Editing the .ini-file while "Save Settings on Exit"-Flag is checked,
leaving NP3 would override the just edited .ini-file with "old" NP3 settings ...)
- using Linker generated manifests (knows dependencies)
- activate VS2017's postprocessing manifest-tool to merge manifest with
Version.exe's .manifest.conf part (re-embedding assembled manifest)
- by the way: Version.exe (Release/Win32) should only patch the items in
<assemblyIdentity /> node of .manifest.conf and not re-create the complete manifest wiith dependencies
(it works fine yet, but, if the Linker change dependencies, this will lead to merge conflicts)
- switching DPI awarenes to 'false', cause only MFC Application can be made DPI aware
(setting 'true' for non MFC Applications will end up in blurry effects on scaled desktops [MS doc])
- Tip: the embedded manifest resource can be checked by:
i) load the .exe via file open dialog into VS2017
ii) or using Sysinternal's > sigcheck.exe -a -m Notepad3.exe
~ maybe it is time to change to Platform Toolset "Visual Studio 2017 - Windows XP (v141_xp)" ?
- add existing recoding accelerator keys (Ctrl+Alt+F & Ctrl+Shift+A)
to "Recode" menue (func: reload file forcing this encoding type)
- add version info for used Scintilla library
~ VERSION_SCIVERSION should be set by Version.exe (version patcher)
and can be picked from provided scintilla\version.txt
- some code-cleanup (cleancode-developer pathfinder rule)
while trying to trace down notepad2-mod issue #121
(i am able to reproduce, but didn't find the reason (yet))
- fix exception - reported in notepad2-mod pull request (Crash fixing. #172), which has been rejected there,
but I was able to reproduce it in VS2017 debug mode (initial defaults for exception handling).
(https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod/pull/172)
- incorporate changes from notepad2-mod from v.4.2.25.995 to v.4.2.25.998
(one fix, the other changes we have done before already)
- Change shortcuts for the following actions:
(-) Toggle Transparent Mode: moved from Ctrl+0 to Ctrl+Numpad_*
(x) Reset Zoom: Ctrl+/ change to Ctrl+0 ($v_5.0.26)
Additional Accelerator Keys, as suggested by (https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod/pull/197)
(+) Toggle Line Comment : in addition to Ctrl+Q add Ctrl+/ with same functionality
(+) Do Stream Comment : in addition to Ctrl+Shift+Q add Ctrl+Shift+/ with same functionality
believing new shortcuts are more convenient and more widely used, aren't they?
- consistent encoding <> code-page handling (including Scintilla's code-page settings)
- Scintilla issue regarding notepad2-mod issie #173 (see https://github.com/XhmikosR/notepad2-mod/pull/193)
- allow arbitrary conversion between encodings (even it it does not make sense in any case)
(instead of doing silently nothing but changing encoding info on status bar)
Notepad2 and also the maintaining fork notepad2-mod are using Scintilla's internal regexpr engine, which has its limitations ( see XhmikosR/notepad2-mod#148 ).
In wise forsight, the developer of Scintilla creates an interface (activated by preprocessor define SCI_OWNREGEX), to embed your own RegExpr search (and replace) engine.
