Notepad++ window switcher plugin
24 Sep 2009For quite some time, Notepad++ has become my favourite text editor. I wrote a small plugin to fit it even more with my coding habbits. If you want to switch to a certain window with a shortcut and/or open/switch to the corresponding source/header file for the current document, then this plugin might do what you want.
This is the initial version of the Window Switcher Notepad++ plugin.
What does it do
- it allows window switching bound to a shortcut. Default shortcuts are set to ALT+1 ... ALT+0
- it switches between the corresponding
.h
/.c
/.cpp
file through the means of a shortcut. The default shortcut is ALT+O
How to install
- copy the plugin corresponding to your Notepad++ version into the Notepad++\plugins directory. Use
NppWindowSwitcherAnsi.dll
for ANSI version andNppWindowSwitcherUnicode.dll
for UNICODE. - configure the shortcuts
- if you want to use the default shortcuts, be aware of the fact that ALT+1 .. ALT+8 are bound by default to collapse current level functionality. Go to
Settings -> Shortcut mapper -> Main Menu
and change the shortcuts so they point to something else. I remaped them to Ctrl+Alt+1 … Ctrl+Alt+8 - enjoy
