Well then I got nothing, sorry. Did you restart after applicable changes?

Some possible gambles:

1. Upgrade to 9.8.0
2. Uninstall IE, if present. (That looks like an IE icon)
3. Poke around in the registry if you are comfortable doing that.

Double-clicking .xsl files works fine for me.

But I don't know if those DOS commands work (the same way) in Windows 11. I get:
C:\>assoc .xsl
.xsl=xslfile

C:\>ftype xslfile
File type 'xslfile' not found or no open command associated with it.

Go to Windows Settings -> Apps > Default apps

Yeah, it's a bit counterintuitive. Find it here:

Thanks that worked. And I found Color settings not showing for applying it across all document classes.

Thanks, john1857. I never noticed how annoying that was until now. Really, thanks a lot... :P

I second this feature request. There does not seem to be setting in either TextPad, nor windows for this. A spot check of other programs show they have much better contrast/colors for found-results ...

Looks like this has been fixed, in version 9.8.0, by just not providing accelerators for any but the first ten workspaces.

Good 'nuff; thanks.

IIRC this was a bug. Especially if you just upgraded.
Upgrade to TextPad 9.7.1 and it's fixed.

Also. this site will correctly email me this topic. But, even though it's watched and all relevant options are set, still no alerts on this, or any, topic.

Correct. The same accelerator should not appear twice in the same context. An easy band-aid for that, in this case, is to merely use 10 accelerators max. This would work for me since the "Recents" are ordered with the more infrequent ones last.

This is a ¿new? variant of "Workspaces have multiple new bugs in TextPad 9" .
It (still) occurs in TextPad 9.7.1 and grows more annoying.

To reproduce:

Have several saved workspaces. (It's possible that the bug now requires at least 11, but that's NA since I use dozens of workspaces.)

Thank you!

Huh. I didn't get an email about a reply...

Anyway, thanks for the pledge to fix.

I upgraded to 9.7.0 and immediately set the "Force File Explorer to start new instances" option. Thank you for that!
(Note however that this new option has no entry in the help file.)

But with that new option set, TextPad misbehaves when double-clicking files from Windows Explorer.

Suppose for ...

Thank you for the timely fix!
