I'm having an !UpdateMeter Bang issue ....

You're correct. But both ways work.

Yes, but only because as said, the not-needed parameters are ignored:

However the bang does work, only because Rainmeter ignores any additional parameter.

Also, that key combo CTRL+Q works without the Rainlexer software.

Hmm... to be honest, I always had RainLexer since working with Rainmeter from Notepad++, so I can't say how it's without it - you may be right on this. I guess that even in the absence of a plugin to tell Notepad++ that the code is of a "Rainmeter skin file", the application still uses the comment mark of a "classic" Windows .INI file. If that is true, the CTRL + Q shouldn't (properly) work in the case of .INC files, unless Notepad++ is aware of the format from other "languages" in its library. Can you confirm?

I'm unable to confirm if Notepad++ is aware of the format from other "languages" in its library.
I'll get back to ya about that if I don't forget.

Ok, thanks.

Ok, thanks.

The only thing I can tell ya is, NP++ only has .ini file in its language library (Style Conifgurator) ....
I really don't know much about NP++ other than I know it's used by Devs for many types of programming languages, Just the basics, and I know I use it for Rainmeter docs.

Yeah, I don't know what Notepad++ sees .inc files as by default. The only language that contains .inc by default is Pascal, so maybe that...

If you install RainLexer, then both .ini and .inc are seen as the language type "Rainmeter".

That's cool, maybe I'll give it another try, TY

Thanks again for confirming my suspicion - much appreciated.

Even then, the comment mark would be different than that of a Rainmeter INI formatted file, so to take advantage of the CTRL + Q hotkey for commenting lines in Rainmeter's .INC-s (and, of course, other advantages as well), I reckon you'd have to have RainLexer installed...

Whether or not one installs it is probably proportional with the time he spends coding things in Rainmeter, because otherwise the combo is clearly superior to plain Notepad.

NP++ default .inc file with Blackboard theme enabled are handled like this:
But maybe you knew that.

I configured .ini with Blackboard enabled like this:

I tried Rainlexer twice and was unable to get it configured the way I liked, it kept reverting back to its default. I'll stick with mine, thanks for the advice though it was worthy of consideration.

.ini first then .inc
