Okay, I finally got around to trying this using version 747 since that had been released, but it still doesn't work. I did some testing and found that if I create a new XML file then the shortcut key works and all is well.
It seems to be only when I'm editing previously existing XML files. The files I work with contain various XML nodes, usually with CDATA sections within some/many of the nodes. I tried several files, the smallest about 250 lines of code, and the largest about 10000 lines and none worked. I tried making a copy of one of the files and opening it but the clip still doesn't work. While testing I discovered that when I go to Settings/Edit Clip Definition File there are two entries labelled XML. The first opens RSS.DEF and the second opens XML.DEF This is also the case in Settings/Highlighter Settings. The first XML entry appears in the list where RSS should be alphabetically, and the second appears where XML belongs alphabetically. It looks like PSPad is using the RSS,DEF file instead of the XML.DEF file, but I have no idea why. I tried disabling the "wrong" XML entry in Highlighter Settings, then restarted PSPad and tried again but it didn't work. I then deleted the RSS>DEF file and restarted PSPad, and the extra XML entry disappeared from the Edit Clip Definition File list, but it still appears in Highlighter Settings, so it seems that PSPad is caching something for each file. I tried renaming PSCache5.BIN and PSPad recreated it, but it still didn't fix the issue. Any suggestions? Please? Anyone?
