Function requirements

[wisenut2009]

1. Highlighting only the current line, not the current paragraph, with the options "Word Wrap" and "Highlight Current Line" checked.
2. Adding an "Always on Top" button on the toolbar.
3. An option "Sticky Window Position".

Thanks!

First one: duplicate of issue #110.
Second one: Settings -> Windows Options -> Always On Top
Third One: "Sticky Window Position" is default behavior, Notepad2 starts with window location and size stored in Notepad2.ini.

2. A button on the toolbar may be more convenient.
3. Notepad2 starts with the position it exited last time. Can it start with a fixed position?

3. use command line option '/p', https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad2/wiki/Command-Line-Switches#command-line-switches

remember with the last position
" //place/filename.extension 246x503x234"
" D:/place/filename.extension 256x523x244"
is maybe not a bad idea.. like it, but then is need a "n2.position.log" or something..

It works, but is a little inconvenient.

Does it mean function requirement 1 will never be implemented?

No, it will be implemented in the future as I also need it, there is already a checked option "Highlight subline".

Thanks. I'm looking forward to it!

"Always on Top" button can be added after someone contribute a toolbar image (I will not work on this myself, also please check licenses for images found on the Internet).

I need the 'Always on Top' button too.

Anyway, this icon from 'Bootstrap Icons' can be used https://icons.getbootstrap.com/icons/pin-angle/. It has MIT License.

Hi @Shakil-Shahadat thanks for the image, I download it from https://github.com/twbs/icons/releases, added it into toolbar in fe6768a, following is the new toolbar:

As you can see, it's theme (or style) is not compatible with current toolbar image. You can follow these steps to make the new toolbar image:

1. Install Python 3.7 or later.
2. Install latest Pillow
3. Install inkscape
4. Open pin-angle.svg with inkscape, then click File -> Export PNG Images to export whole page as 16x16 png, see following screenshot
   
5. Use old Toobar.bmp, edit https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad2/blob/master/tools/ImageTool.py#L234, uncomment concat_horizontal(['../res/Toolbar.bmp', 'images/pin-angle-16x.png'], 'Toolbar.bmp'), then run ImageTool.py to build the toolbar image. For current updated Toobar.bmp, you can call split_horizontal() to split it into 16x16 small images.

Notepad2 supports external toolbar images, you can uncomment BitmapDefault in Notepad2.ini, set it to the path of new toobar image you built and test it.

[Toolbar Images]
;BitmapDefault=Toolbar.bmp
;BitmapHot=ToolbarHot.bmp
;BitmapDisabled=ToolbarDisabled.bmp

Thank you so much. I did some testing too. I'll let you know the progress.

"Sticky Window Position" menu (needs translation) is added by d15282f, when it's enabled, "Clear Position History" will be disabled, please test latest builds and check whether it works as expected.
