Case sensitive triggers

[ruijoel]

Hello,

Would it be possible to have trigger names be case sensitive?

Let's say I enter a trigger in my document, start completing the hotspots, and press tab to go to the next hotspot. However, the text I need to enter on one of those hotspots is also a trigger's name.

One solution to the problem would be to change the name of the trigger, but I like my names to be easy to remember, so this is not feasible.

Another solution would be to use one hotkey to move to the next hotspot, and another to validate a trigger. I like using the tab key for doing lots of things, doing different things in different contexts, because I need to remember less stuff, and it's easily accessible on the keyboard. This solution is not optimal.

Yet another solution would be to have triggers be case sensitive. For example, my text often has the first letter capitalized, and I have lowercase triggers, but it would also work if I made all triggers be full caps. This solution would work in my case.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have always been thinking of using case sensitive triggertext, but some people really don't like it. (while some people love it, just like you). Finally I have a make a decision on that. What I can say is I will make it at least an option, but I really cannot say this will be the default behaviour.

I think the most reasonable would be to have case sensitivity as the default, because Notepad++ targets developpers, and we most often work with case sensible languages. Ultimately, I don't feel too strongly about how you want to present it, as long as it works.

Any updates? Is this dead?

Seems that way, doesn't it? :(
