Notepad++ Search Window disappeared
This works for me without deleting the %appdata%/Notepad++
that deletes the highlight themes.
- search any pattern: this is so the FOCUS will be on that invisible search-result window.
- then hit
Alt + Space, M
- move around your mouse until the search-result window show up.
- position the window to your desired position.
- hit
Enter
.
Edit:
If moving the mouse did not work, press Alt + Space, M
and then press any arrow button and then move the mouse. The window should appear and now following your mouse.
The issue seems happens if I change monitors configuration , e.g. if I worked on laptop with 2 attached monitors, and next time open Notepad++ when having single laptop monitor.
For me it was sufficient to delete %appdata%\Notepad++\config.xml (not the whole folder).
- Close Notepad++
- Open %appdata%\Notepad++ folder (e.g. C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Notepad++ )
- Delete (or rename in case if you want a backup) config.xml
- Start Notepad++
