I'm using Komodo edit 8.5 on windows 8 and I'm finding it impossible to use. let me illustrate why using the 'pipe' symbol (|) for the cursor.
If I am typing on version an earlier version it would type like any app would ie: ms word or txt pad will let me type between characters as:
if(|) ... and I begin to type an x if(x|)
where as on version 8:
if(x|
the cursor destroys characters in front of it.
I normally write encapsulating brackets then press left to enter into them to begin to give my condistion, this is not helpfull. how do I get this to behave?
also the cursor is an underscore in version 8 wtf's with that!?
It isn't a problem with Komodo Edit. You have switched your cursor to "insert" mode. Look on your keyboard for a key labeled "Ins" or "Insert" (for me it is on the number pad, right next to the right arrow). Hitting this key toggles the mode of the cursor.

IntelliJ removes the character after while reformatting. For example if I misspelled "Father" as "Fathr" and want to add an "e" afterwards, the editor removes the "r" on adding "e". I'm new to Kotlin and would really appreciate some help.
I am afraid this is just a simple Insert key that switches the input mode between insert (a thin cursor) and replace (a fat, character sized cursor).
VS code likes thinking for me, which is the number 1 sin a text editor can
do. To "help" it will auto type [] and {}, when deleting it will also delete [] instead of just ]. When typing HTML it also tries to auto add </div> at the wrong time...
99% of the time when it adds a character I didn't add myself it creates issues. How can I turn that feature off? i.e if I didn't explicitly press a key to modify a character, VS code has no business touching that character.
Open the Settings menu (Ctrl , on Windows or File -> Preferences -> Settings).
Select Text Editor.
You can selectively disable Auto Closing Brackets, Auto Closing Quotes, and other editor options.
When my cursor is after an open quote in a SQL statement in an IntelliJ database console and I press Enter, it closes the quote on the current line and adds a concatenation symbol with an open quote on the newline.
I disabled formatting the SQL code style settings but that didn't fix it for me.
UPDATE blah SET blah2 = 'something<pressed enter>' ||
'<argh!>...';
Is there a way to disable this autoformatting?
This request was addressed in 2017.1 version, as a result, Insert string concatenation on Enter setting was added specifically for SQL:
This can be archived since IntelliJ 13. You simply need to wrap your code with
// #formatter:off
your code goes here
// #formatter:on
Since IntelliJ Idea 15-16(pardon if i'm wrong), you can also make permanent set up by Preferences > Editor > Code Style option
Hope it helps
I've some records which are really messed up.
My team lead told me to find out the position of characters with ascii value 14 and 15.
I've a query
SELECT CHARINDEX(CHAR(14),X_CUSTOMER_COMMENTS)
FROM vp_service_requests;
SELECT CHARINDEX(CHAR(15),X_CUSTOMER_COMMENTS)
FROM vp_service_requests;
which returns 0 because i wasn't able to find char with 14 and 15 ascii value after google
search i found 14 and 15 ascii value are for shift in and shift out
how this represents on keyboard so i can try for it with CHAR(14) function.
As a holdover from the old DOS days, Windows still allows you to enter certain old ASCII keys from the keyboard by pressing and holding the ALT key, followed by the three-digit code you wish to enter (from the 10-key pad, not the numeric row atop the keyboard), eg for 14, type ALT-014.
However, some of the lower-level codes are inherited from old terminal functions, eg ASCII 7 is a bell, 8 is a backspace, eg, and rather that typing a character, they cause the cursor to behave a certain way or induce an application to respond in a defined manner. You can embed a CHAR(XX) value for testing simply by concatenating the value into a string and INSERTing it into your test table.
It should be Ctrl-N and Ctrl-O although I doubt this will help.
Try loading the records into a good editor and look at them in HEX. Weird characters should stick out like a sore thumb
In many text editors that are aimed at programmers, if the user has a selection that spans more than 1 line and presses the TAB key, those lines are indented by 1 TAB (or a number of spaces, depending on how the editor is configured).
However, this does not seem to be the default behavior of Notepad++. Is there a way I can do this in Notepad++, or is there a plugin that I can get to allow me to do this?
Edit: Upon additional testing, SHIFT-TAB correctly un-indents the lines as expected, but only a tab simply inserts a tab wherever the carat is. This is in version 5.4.5 Unicode
The problem was with the QuickText plugin. After removing it, indent worked as normal.
Capslock + Tab to indent multiple lines at once. Highlight the text first.
The problem with the new version of QuickText seems to be that it is set to react to the TAB key. Previously it was set to use CTRL-ENTER. If you change the key combination in the shortcut mapper then your TAB key should start working again, and QuickText should also work (with whatever new key you've assigned).
It works fine for my v. 5.4.5 of Notepad++. I just select multiple lines and press TAB.
If you want TAB to be replaced by SPACE than you need to go Settings > Preferences and select Edit Components tab. Next check Replace by spaces check box in Tab Setting section.
Update: In a newer version of Notepad++ this option is in Settings > Preferences > Language section.
If you're using QuickText and like pressing Tab for it, you can otherwise change the indentation key.
Go Settings > Shortcup Mapper > Scintilla Command. Look at the number 10.
I changed 10 to : CTRL + ALT + RIGHT and
11 to : CTRL+ ALT+ LEFT.
Now I think it's even better than the TABL / SHIFT + TAB as default.
I have Notepad++ 5.3.1 (UNICODE). I haven't done any magic and it works fine for me as described by you.
Maybe it depends on the (programming/markup/...) "Language"?
Just install the NppAutoIndent plug-in, select Plugins > NppAutoIndent > Ignore Language and then Plugins > NppAutoIndent > Smart Indent.
Notepad++ will only auto-insert subsequent indents if you manually indent the first line in a block; otherwise you can re-indent your code after the fact using TextFX > TextFX Edit > Reindent C++ code.
in Notepad++v6.1.8 (Unicode) it works after removing the QuickText plugin.
To increase indent - Press and hold TAB
To decrease indent - Press and hold TAB + SHIFT
