Change Hotkey for Window submenu in Settings (has a duplicate now) #1274

Seconded. |

Understood. I will do it. 👍 |

@hpwamr, I'm sorry for taking a while to get back to you. I'm confused with the beta-channel, the build that you made for this commit, and somehow portable versions of Notepad3 are involved. From #1129, it looks like the beta-channel is closed - but there are several cloud hosting links listed. I then noticed that your "Notepad3Portable" link was not just to a portable apps website, but to a portable version of the specific build number that you mentioned! So now that I have this extracted, even if I can find the correct executable file per #1129, how should I use it? I guess I'll just wing it. I'm pretty tired now. |
Uh, well, yes you did make the change that I requested.
Language is something that should be selected either during installation or during selection of the installation file. I don't know what the Theme menu is for. As it is, you've created two broken top-level menu hotkeys. I may be overly critical from sleep deprivation. If so, please excuse my tone. My suggestion is to remove both of these new menus. |

Well, "the issue #1129 is closed" , but NOT for the "beta-channel" 🤔
Please, read in issue #1129, "How to extract Files from PortableApps.com executable format" 🤔 |
To open the discussion, I suggest that we build a "Notepad3Portable RC2 en-US version" with those 2 menu moved in: View->Display and View->Schemes Edit: Feel free to test the RC2 version: "Notepad3Portable_5.19.531.2232_RC.paf.exe.7z" or higher. |
@Grossdm, you are not alone, see also issue #1058. It's a bit of a balancing act between UI best practice and, frankly, some amazing software whose feature list is very long. I did make some suggestions on how to alleviate these two conflicts, but as @RaiKoHoff pointed out at the time, they are very English-centric... I'll have a look at the new build with the items moved and report back. |
@craigo-, I understand and sympathizer with the goal of accommodating "other" languages. I do think giving consideration to the largest user base has significant merit, though. Are there plans (or methods) to have Hotkeys for Traditional Chinese? |
Feel free to test the RC2 version: "Notepad3Portable_5.19.601.1002_RC2" or higher. As far as I am concerned, this issue may be closed.... 🤔 |
I've had a look at the menu reorganisation in builds 5.19.531.2232 (RaiKoHoff) and 5.19.601.1002 (hpwamr). A couple of discussion points:
With the following hierarchy of guidelines in mind:
...here is a suggested list:
NB: other menus may also benefit from another look... If there is an appetite to do this, I'm happy to spend a bit of time on it - I'll track it on another issue. |
Notepad3 does not have a full-blown "Themes" selector (the skin change is missing - but this will not change in near future). But we have something, that comes close to it: |
The advantage of the @craigo- proposal is the reduction of a sub-menu in depth for the "Themes" menu. |
A Theme is an umbrella concept for Schemes, so in any case this should be reflected by the menu structure. By the way, we have a little bug: |
Hello @Grossdm , Hello @craigo- Feel free to test the RC2 version: "Notepad3Portable_5.19.604.1006_RC2" or higher. See "Notepad3 beta-channel access #1129" or download it from here Notepad3Portable. |
It's clear that everyone has been putting in significant effort toward improving the interface generally. I'll try the new build as time allows. |
@hpwamr's 5.19.604.1006 RC2 build...
Wondering if it might now be best to rename "Dark Theme" to just "Dark"..? Thanks for altering the keyboard shortcuts for the I'll have a look at the keyboard shortcuts for the other menus and open a separate issue if I see the need for change. |
The "Theme" names after "Factory Defaults" and "Standard Settings" are based on the base filename in the sub-directory "./themes/..", so this can easily be adapted. By the way, if you add other "Scheme Collections" (as exported .ini files") here, you will get these filenames as menu entries ... ;-) |
Hi @craigo- , Its's done (overlooked) 😏 Feel free to test the RC2 version: "Notepad3Portable_5.19.605.1007_RC2" or higher. Edit: I will be abroad for the next 2 weeks with limited Internet Access... 😕 |
Thanks for that @hpwamr. Sorry, hopefully the last iteration for the
|
Yes, as I was testing I figured this out. Pretty cool. Hopefully, renaming "Dark Theme" to "Dark" in the repository is already on your list (or you've possibly already done it) 👍 Something else I have noticed:

Feel free to test the RC2 version: "Notepad3Portable_5.19.605.1009_RC2" or higher. |
Hello everyone, It is great that so many are working on this project, but this seems to create this problem. Perhaps I have overlooked a README or other documentation that would clarify these things. Please share some thoughts or guidance. Thanks, |
Hello @Grossdm, Bear in mind that this workplace is for developers to help the users of Noptepad3 AND also to develop and test new Notepad3 features ! For a stable Notepad3, I advise you to download the latest version (Installer and Portable) here: https://www.rizonesoft.com/downloads/notepad3/ (Find it near the bottom of the page) 👀. Edit: See message #1126 (comment) and following. 😃 |
