Using neovim version v0.8.2 when pasting multi-line text from the system clipboard (not an internal register), the newline characters get stripped away, undesirably resulting in a single line.
Querying the termpastefilter, the value is on the defaults - "BS,HT,ESC,DEL".
When pasting, neovim asks for a confirmation before pasting due to the fact there are control characters in the pasted string and in the confirmation message, part of the text is revealed with the control characters escaped, where one can clearly see the \n characters, however after pasting the string they get stripped.
The terminal emulator is urxvt version v9.31.
How can one undo this behavior?
I've the same "problem" but sad news:
More information would be needed - what are "incorrect line endings" and have
you disabled the confirm-paste plugin? If not, which option did you chose?
Also for some reason when i open the terminal, half the screen is
flushed. This seems to have been reported here already:
Yes, that is a race condition between your wm and urxvt. It can happen
with all terminals and also older versions of urxvt, but happens much
more commonly in the current version. We have plans to address this,
but are not sure what the right course is, yet, as it is not a bug.
A workaround of sorts is to output some newliens so the prompt is at
the bottom (which is where it will end up anyway, under normal use),
or specify a geometry larger than the screen and let your wm shrink
it, which has pretty much the same effect.

As a workaround I will temporary transfer terminator.

I haven't used Processing in many years. I am copying some old code into Processing and it is pasting onto one line. Is there a beautify extension for Processing 3? Have looked and can't find.
What you're talking about is called auto-formatting, not beautifying.
The Processing editor includes an auto-formatter. Just go to Edit > Auto-Format, or press ctrl+t to do it from the keyboard.
Alternatively, most code IDEs like eclipse also include auto-formatters.
However, if everything is on one line, it sounds like you're dealing with an issue copying the newline character. This can happen if you copy something from one OS to another, for example. You might be able to google for a tool that fixes this problem, but it might be simpler to just put in the line breaks manually and then use the auto-formatter to handle the indentation for you.
Auto-indenting in IntelliJ IDEA seems to automatically takes lines previous to the selection in to consideration. This means that if the indentation is incorrect in the part of the file you're working on (e.g., 3 or 5 spaces where there should be 4, or even worse, a mix of tabs and spaces) it's annoyingly difficult to add correctly indented code.
Both new lines I'm adding and lines I use auto-indent on because I've changed them anyway get messed up like this. Since the file I'm working on is being worked on by someone else as well on another branch, I really don't want to modify over a third of the file just to indent everything correctly, but I would still like the lines that I'm actually modifying/adding to be correct - I don't see any reason to perpetuate the error when it's not necessary.
Currently the best mechanism for fixing it I've found is to manually do the spaces on a line and go from there, but it's really quite annoying, especially since I can't use the tab key or IntelliJ will immediately move to the incorrect indentation. It's barely better than copy/pasting the text to Sublime Text, fix the indentation there and paste it back without formatting.
My apologies if this has already been asked, I've tried to search for it, but it's very hard to search for this as there's so many auto-indent questions.
IntelliJ IDEA recently added a feature (in v14 or 1v4.1 if I recall) where it will detect indentation that is different from your settings. It will honor those indentations (in order to keep the file consistent). Usually as soon as you start editing the file, you get a banner, although that can be turned off. The banner looks like this:
This allows you to modify this setting on a per file basis, or turn it off completely (i.e. the "Show Settings" option).
I suspect this feature is what is causing you the issue. I am not sure how it handles a case where a file has mixed indentation (e.g. most of the file is 4, but some sections are 3 or 5 spaces). You can try turning this feature off in Settings > Editor > Code Style > "Detect and use existing file indents for editing"
What is the actual encoding used in Access' VBA editor? I have been searching for a concrete answer for quite a while but with no luck.
I thought it was UTF-8 but I'm not very certain.
My main issue is that when writing a query in VBA I sometimes need to test it in Access' query editor. When copy-pasting however, I lose my native characters (greek in my case) as they turn to gibberish.
I have tried pasting in a text editor and saving it as different encodings but I can never recover the original characters.
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Let me explain this a bit further:
As you can see I can write my greek characters in the VBA editor normally:
However, copying the first line in Access' query editor, I get the following:
Same goes for a simple text editor:
So I am inclined to think that the problem lies inside the clipboard, due to the encoding used for the greek characters. I guess they are not Unicode, as I indeed have to make the change in the System Locale for non-unicode characters. So how are these characters saved/copied? In what encoding?
Answer
Actually this problem was solved by switching the keyboard input language to greek (EL), when copying the actual test string.
I am still not sure however, as to why that happens. If anyone can provide some insight into this, I would love to hear it.
Thanks again
The VBA editor does not support Unicode characters, either for input or display. Instead, it uses the older Windows technology called "code pages" to provide support for non-ASCII characters.
So, the character encoding in the VBA editor corresponds to the code page that is used by the Windows system locale as specified in the "Regional and Language Options" control panel. For example, with my system locale set to "Greek (Greece)"
I can enter Greek characters into my VBA code
However, if I switch my Windows system locale back to "English (United States)"
and re-open my VBA project, the Greek characters have changed to the corresponding characters in the new code page
If "Control Panel" -> "Regional and Language Options" -> "System Locale" is set correctly but you still suffer from this problem some times then note that while you're copying your keyboard layout must be switched to the non-English language.
This is applicable to all non-unicode-aware applications not only VBA.

Looks like making sure your OS is set properly, and font choice inside the VBA editor.
I had a similar problem with Cyrillic characters. Part of the problem is solved when set the System locale correctly.
However, The VBA editor still does not recognize cyrillic characters when it has to interpret them from inside itself.
For example it can not display characters from the command:
Msgbox "Здравей"
but if the sheet name is in cyrillic characters it does it well:
Msgbox Activesheet.Name
Finally, it turned out that these kind of problems were solved when I changed to 32 bits version of MS Office.
We have a WPF application which can perform either a report preview or a report print.
Both requests use the same code.
Call the report service which gets the report from Microsoft Report Services.
Convert the report into the desired format (in this case PDF).
Then return the report as a byte array.
The result is then written to a temporary file as a binary stream, and either popped into a window to preview or start a Process to print.
In both cases the temporary file is passed.
Print Preview works flawlessly! But Print Report will print with all occurances of 'ti' disappearing. I see there is a printer escape sequence of ESC t NUL/SOH and I assume that if, for some reason, an escape character gets into that stream that ti will result in an ignored print sequence. Thus the missing characters.
My first question is if anyone has ever experienced this with generated PDF reports?
My second question (obviously) is if anyone knows of a utility I can use to view the binary data in the file being printed, to see what is in the file just before every 'ti' sequence?
After a great deal of searching I came across a post on the Adobe forum that states that version 8 had a bug where it was not printing character combinations. Once I dug deeper it seems that it has returned and the suggested workaround fixed our issue.
Workaround: Do a print as image.
Adobe seems to be unable to do the most basic of what their software must do, print the exact content!
Answer for your second question:
First, do one of the following two things:
Set the Windows print spooler properties to not delete printed jobs.
Pause the target print queue.
Then, grab the spool file from the Windows printspool directory (which location that is you can find out by looking at the (right-click) 'Properties...' dialog of the 'Printers and Faxes' folder).
I realize this is an old post but I wanted to add some updated info from the above comment stating that it's a problem with Acrobat 8. We are using Acrobat 10.1.6 and still have the same problem. From what I've read, it's a problem with the adobe product itself. The only real fix I've seen (actually work around) is to print as an image. LAME
Surprisingly this bug is still there in 2021. Adobe cannot be relied upon printing documents properly. This takes away all the allure of features it had if it cannot do the most basic stuff it is required for.
Printing as image reduces the quality and blur the document.
Simply open the document with Safari or Chrome and print from there. E
I had a similar problem while printing directly from the firefox (acrobat reader within). I downloaded the file and then printed. The problem was solved.
I'm looking for something like CSS for code. Does it exist either in an IDE, or as a plugin?
The compiler often doesn't care how many more spaces or tabs or newlines you have between tokens in your code, but people do care.
I want to specify in my "style sheet" that braces always live on a seperate line, commas are always followed by spaces, and spaces always surround operators.
Somebody else could then take my code and in their style sheet, specify that no unnecessary spaces should be visible, braces should always be on the same line as their predecessor, and functions should always be separated by 3 line breaks. But the code itself should not actually change.
Is there such a tool?
I don't think such a thing exists, the best solution is to have a custom style for local coding (most IDE's allow this) and then use a tool to reformat your source code (like Jalopy for Java) when you commit it centrally.
That way you have something that's common centrally, but can still style how you want locally.
I don't know of any tool that can arbitrarily apply a style to code without actually modifying the text itself. Since you need to edit the code, that seems impractical.
This is called code formatting and if you google "code formatter" and your language of choice you should get a list of available options.
Try some eclipse based IDE (Aptana) or eclipse itsefl and and from there you can configure how the formatting works :)
