Does pressing the ESC key not work for you?
Does pressing the ESC key not work for you?
ESC does work (I think that's a newer workaround than my double-tap-on-Windows key).
The point is, IMO input focus upon startup should not be left in the console window but rather in the editing window.Another workaround, inspired by @Ekopalypse mention of Esc key:
- User places this code at end of (user) startup:
import SendKeys as sk sk.SendKeys("{ESC}")Agreed, I think it's more likely that if you start Npp and want the console displayed at startup, you'd still want to start editing instead of invoking something from the command prompt.
I think this could be implemented if it is accepted as a feature request.Reacted by alankilborn
If Show Console is checkmarked when Notepad++ is exited, when Notepad++ is restarted, the user's input focus is at the console window's
>>>prompt.Wouldn't it be a better user experience if his input focus, i.e., blinking caret, is in the main N++ editing area, rather than the PS console?
I think so, so I'm requesting this.
Using Notepad++ 8.7.5.
Using Python 3.12.3 (tags/v3.12.3:f6650f9, Apr 9 2024, 14:05:25) [MSC v.1938 64 bit (AMD64)]
Using only plugins that ship with N++ and PythonScript plugin.
