PowerToys Keyboard Manager is a tool to remap keys in a keyboard. I use this tool to remap my laptop keys because I use 'home' and 'end' keys much more frequently than 'insert' and 'delete'. Notepad++ used to be able to detect the key remapping but the latest version doesn't. The 'insert' and 'delete' buttons become 'insert' and 'delete', ignoring the remap.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Install PowerToys.
  2. Using Keyboard Manager remap 'insert' to 'home', 'delete' to 'end'.
  3. Press 'insert' and 'delete'

Expected Behavior

The cursor goes to the beginning of the line then to the end of the line.

Actual Behavior

Edit mode changes to overwrite and then deletes the character under the cursor.

Probably an effect from the implementation from #14296

@donho not reproducible in 8.5.8. My remaps still work in 8.5.8.

Do you use Shift-DEL? Is the Shift-DEL doesn't work for your assigned action?
Or you use DEL alone while the multi-edit being active?

@donho actually both used to work, the behavior is just like pressing END and SHIFT-END (the key that I assign to DEL).
For example pressing DEL will go to the end of the line, while pressing SHIFT-DEL will select the characters between the current cursor location to the end of the line.

Thank you for your reply.
I just want to know if Shift-DEL doesn't work but DEL works for you in v8.6.
Also, when you use Shift-DEL, what does it happens?

Make hard-coded shortcut "Shift-DEL" be abled to be disabled
8f26772 
In order to disable the hard-coded shortcut "Shift-DEL" ability (new feature introduced in v8.6) which delete current line while no selection, users must add an empty file named "disableHardCodedShiftDelete.xml", in "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\" directory (or in the Notepad++ installed directory in portable mode) to prevent this behaviour.

Fix Ctrl+V to paste into the text fields of forms for certain plugins…

… issue

This commit restore Scintilla Cut/Copy/Paste shortcuts. Also, the shortcuts Ctrl-C / Ctrl-X / Shift-DEL without selection to Copy / Cut / DEL entire line are removed in this commit due to several critical issues.

To Copy / Cut / DEL entire line, users are encouraged to use Scintilla default shortcuts set in Shortcut Mapper: Ctrl-Shift-X(SCI_LINECUT), Ctrl-L(SCI_LINECOPY) and Ctrl-Shift-L(SCI_LINEDELETE). You can remap them via Shortcut mapper.
