Textpad still doesn't open WITH a text file when you double-click on it Please keep in mind that the Windows version can be the culprit. In my short experience with Windows 11 no program was able to set file associations (not even when run with administrator privileges) - I had to choose the "...

I guess you miss the captions for 2 tabs, while only the caption for 1 is displayed. In that case: does it also happen using English as language? Mayby Deutsch misses a few translations...

File Explorer sends DDE messages with the file name to TextPad when you double click a file Isn't this a configuration in the Registry, where one could easily delete ...\shell\open\ddeexec\ ? For TextPad 8.4.0 on Win7x64 I don't see this with my associated file extensions, and through the decades I...

This all worked fine for years using TextPad 7, but reverting back to TP 7 temporarily didn't help. Don't underestimate that you constantly got Windows updates - one tiny bit in that could be responsible for the "new" behavior - that would also explain why switching the TextPad version al...

Oh yes - I totally forgot that. Corrected my post.

Your "\s" however could match more than only a space - the literal space would fit more IMO because then it wouldn't match unexpected "spaces" (like linebreaks or non-ASCII spaces). Or this is actually wanted...

You have to search for each column separately: Find: ^(.{26}) (Note the trailing space after the closing curly bracket.) Explanation: ^ = start of line () = capture what's in between the parenthesis . = any character {26} = repeat previous match (that is "any character") 26 times (space) =...

Sounds like the combination of OneDrive and Windows' Explorer is the issue, not TextPad. Since at least Windows 7 the Explorer scans most (if not every) selected file(s) for metadata, f.e. picture files to then display in the status bar their dimensions (width and height) . But it would be unusual f...

Download > TextPad 7 still offers 7.6.4 from 2017-03-07.

Does 9.x not have per button the context menu option " Begin a G roup " anymore? In doubt you could set it for every button of every toolbar you have. This screenshot is from 8.4.2 where I need almost no toolbar and just added 4 most used actions right into the menu bar to not even waste s...

Dialogs cannot be dismissed so the process has to be killed. How? You cannot use the mouse to focus the dialog window to then close it (pressing ESC or its X button on the upper right side)? If that means they're behind TextPad's main window, then just move and/or size the main window to reach the ...

Let me copy text which is actually readible, copyable and can be zoomed into (in contrast to your screenshot that is too far zoomed out) - I marked two items red that might be interesting: Syntax Definition Files Syntax definition files contain the information TextPad uses to highlight keywords in d...

Just one topic ago you could have read things to try out. Since "OneDrive" is a network share go for #4 in the following list. Similar topics: Hang / crash on File Open Save/Save-As Folder List "Jump to" Help/Request Ctrl-A to Open Multiple Files TP 9.1 hangs with network shares ...

Similar topics: Hang / crash on File Open Save/Save-As Folder List "Jump to" Help/Request Ctrl-A to Open Multiple Files TP 9.1 hangs with network shares after upgrade from 8.15 , including " disable .editorconfig file processing on Configure/Preferences/Editor " Bug: TextPad 9 No...

There is nothing wrong with any of those folders. YMMV. It could be some virtual folder (f.e. Google Drive), a network share, an unusual filesystem to begin with... You make it sound as if happens always - is that really so, or may your TWS folder just be often the same (or similar)? Have you tried...

Oh, now I get what you want - I missed understanding that because finding the next match is in my logic unrelated to the current selection (and I was far more used to F3 doing exactly that: either asking me for the search to issue or continuing to the next match). So indeed you're looking for a comm...
