Stop extra space on carriage return in notepad++

I found a workaround here.

You have to edit langs.xml. On Windows, it is located in %appdata%\notepad++. Change < Language name="normal" ext="txt"/> to < Language name="normal" ext=""/>. Then set your default language to Normal Text.

Alternately, you could change a language you don't use if you wish to keep Normal Text for .txt files. I chose makefile because I don't use it and there is only one setting for # comments.

Settings > Preferences > Delimiter > Add your character as part of word.

Please a hyphen '-' in this field and it will add the hyphen character as part of the word character set, and therefore highlight the entire GUID string as it accepts the hyphen as being treated as any other standard alphanumeric character.

I hope this makes sense.
