- 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)
- using Scintilla UTF8 code-page internally for most encodings,
solves some encoding/code-page problems, the behaviour slightly changes:
+ if DefaultEncoding is not set (or set to DefaultEncoding = -1),
initial encoding is set to current system's code-page, e.g. Windows-1252
Scintilla's internal UTF8 code-page is used for edit box,
that means copy/paste from clipboard may show characters which are
not valid in this char-set of the selected code-page.
Trying to save a file with this invalid UTF8 chars will result in conversion dialog:
("... encoding from ANSI to non-ANSI (and vice versa) may replace unsupported text with default characters ...")
+ if DeaultEncoding = 0 (ANSI):
a) if LoadASCIIasUTF8 = 0 (FALSE), Scintilla's internal ANSI code-page is used for edit box
that means copy/paste from clipboard may convert chars to ANSI ()
b) if LoadASCIIasUTF8 = 1 (TRUE), Scintilla's internal UTF8 code-page is used for edit box
that means the universal UTF8 encoding is used
+ if DeaultEncoding = nnn (corresponding to some ANSI code-page encoding):
same as if DefaultEncoding is set to corresponding code-page (see section "DefaultEncoding is not set")
- standard encoding is ANSI, (resp. UTF8 - if no(-1) encoding default is given in .ini-file: DefaultEncoding=n)
- copy/paste non ANSI characters to ANSI encoded NP3 windo will recode them to ANSI (same as manually recode)
- remember more settings/checksboxes for “Find text” dialog between sessions (.ini-file persistence of (open) dialog)
- DeelX RegexSearch: remove EXTENDED mode - that disables white space ignore and '#' as line comment (expexted/convenient behaviour)
- fixing ".LOG-feature" of Notepad : ".LOG" recognition must be case sensitive
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.
