Directory for Notepad++ plugins

Overview

How to install?

Usually, the only installation procedure plugins require is to

• place the dll in the plugins subfolder of the Notepad++ install folder;
• place any configuration file it comes with in plugin\config
• preferrably, place all documentation files in plugin\doc, or in some subfolder of it

Notepad++ loads plugins at startup. To load a new plugin, you can either close and restart Notepad++, or use the Settings -> Import -> Import plugin command. The latter will copy the dll in the plugin folder if it is not already there.

If explicit installation instructions supplement or override this general procedure, then they must be followed carefully.

Where are the plugins?

Many plugins listed here are in the NppPlugins project, so that they have dedicated forums. You can also monitor Plugin Development forum for news and provide feedback there as well. Other plugins are separate Sourceforge hosted projects, and some are outside the Sourceforge framework.

The official distribution

Not all plugins are featured on the official distribution, i.e. the set of plugins the installer will provide you if you check the Plugins option. Some plugins are deemed too specialised. Some plugins have exhibited bugs or other problems that have motivated their being withdrawn or excluded from official distribution. Such status may always change upon accurate user feedback.

Plugins By Category attempts to assign each of the existing plugins to a broad domain. Plugins that land outside advanced text editing or source code handling will probably remain outside the official distribution.

The Plugin Manager

Currently, the standard distribution includes a plugin called Plugin Manager, which greatly helps in checking what plugins are available and in installing them. While this is an invaluable tool, it has the following features and limitations:

• It requires manual actualisation by the author, so it may lag behind some plugins. Plugin authors are welcome to help.
• Plugins that are known to cause instability in Notepad++ are not listed by default. Check the "Show unstable plugins" box to see them as well. They may work for you, they don't for other people.
• Plugins that require some nonstandard installation procedure are not fully covered. v1.0 of the manager should take care of this.

Disclaimer

The presence of a plugin in the table below only guarantees that it exists and can be downloaded. As developers are not perfect, plugins aren't either. They can have bugs and, worse still, cause unstability in Notepad++ because things they should do transparently are not always crystalline enough.

Stability ratings were added to Plugins By Category; please feel free to report or correct any blatant inaccuracy.

Code Alignment

When programming, we often have a lot of assignments underneath

each other, and although they not the same like maths, there's a close relationship. As such aligning the equals allows us to quickly spot the relationship. 
Further it makes your code so much readable, by not aligning, it's like opening up a CSV file in notepad. If you open up that CSV file in Excel, it's becomes so much easier to read since the columns have meaning. 
Requires .NET 3.5 framework.

SciMarkerSymbols

This plugin is used by other plugins.
It retrieves the marker symbol type for a line marker from Scintilla. If the marker has not had a marker symbol defined to it the value SC_MARK_AVAILABLE type is returned. This allows plugins to cooperate when when using line markers.Thell FowlerSources: on download page

Version 1.0U ( ANSI / Unicode )

ScrollPastEOF

This plugin simply configures the Scintilla components on startup to allow scrolling up to one page down past the end of file. Currently (as of Notepad++ 5.6.2) there is no GUI setting to enable this feature. It may be added at a later time, but even then if you are using an older version of Notepad++, you may still want to use this plugin.Alexander IljinSources: included

Version 0.2.0 ( Unicode )

Select N Launch

This plugin gets your selected text, saves it as file in the system temporary directory with the extension you customized. Then it launches the file - Windows system opens the file with its associated program(by using the extension).

In my personal usage, I defined crt and pdf as extension, then I can launch pdf or show a certificate on the fly, by selecting a Base64 text and executing the defined commands. 
Up to 20 commands (20 extensions) are customizable in this plugin.

WebEdit

WebEdit is another attempt to integrate a user-configurable code template collection into Notepad++. With WebEdit you have the following options:

• create a menu command for pasting some text, possibly surrounding the current selection, if any. Imagine selecting a word and putting "

  ...

  " around it with a single hotkey. You can create up to 30 such commands and assign keyboard shortcuts to them, or simply use the menu;
• the same 30 commands can also be represented by buttons on the main toolbar for quick access with the mouse;
• you can create a set of "tags" or abbreviations. Type one of them, then press Alt+Enter and it will be replaced with the corresponding block of text. If the replacement consists of multiple lines, all of them will be indented same as the first one. The caret will be placed in a predefined position within the new text. You can have the current clipboard contents (e.g. a function name) pasted on expansion.

The plugin configuration is stored in the WebEdit.ini file. Use "WebEdit\Edit Config" command from the "Plugins" menu to open the file in Notepad++ for editing.

All keyboard shortcuts can be assigned/modified using the standard Shortcut Mapper. For more information see the WebEdit.txt help file.

Tips for updating this page

It is desired that plugin authors update this page whenever they update a plugin or release a new one. This fits well within the DIY spirit of a wiki, which is no different from the open source spirit. This is open docs, like the whole of NpWiki++.

The general case

When updating, the simplest way might be to click on an individual row edit link, and change whatever needs to. Points to be careful about are:

• Proper use of the Maintainer template to refer to a plugin maintainer, see Author_Toolbox#General
• Proper use of the wiki syntax for links: an opening bracket, an address without intervening spaces nor line breaks, a space, the desired displayed text, a closing bracket. Copy/paste may insert spurious line breaks in URLs which wrapped.
• The pipe symbols you see at the beginning of some lines must definitely reside at the beginnning of a line to be properly processed
• When a description has embedded blank lines or lists, precede it by an HTML

  paragraph tag.

• While documenting source availability, please use the standard locations:
  • on download page
  • included
  • email author

or a link, unless particular circumstances suggest otherwise.

Looking at a few rows in the source should give you the idea.

To add a new plugin, edit the row above which yours should appear - the table is sorted by plugin name - copy and paste the text you see, and then modify this duplicate plugin entry you just created, as explained above.

The first line of a plugin entry has names for the plugin that serve different purposes:

• The {{ns:0|Pluginname}} part is there so that, when an entry is edited, an automatic, yet relevant comment is generated for the page history.
• The part is an anchor used by Plugins By Category to point to the entry. The short name should be suitable to include in an URL. Admins can take care of this.

Special cases:

• If your plugin should appear on the topmost row, copy and paste, but then adjust the upper duplicate entry.
• If the name of your plugin is the first one to start with a given letter, please remove the duplicate line of the form . This will keep the quick access links up to date.
  • If your plugin starts with B, V or Y, do not remove the span line, but change the letter. Also, since the quick access link (say for letter Г) doesn't exist yet, it would be great creating it replacing the letter with [[#Г|Г]].
• If your plugin must be on the last row, then there are special adjustments, obvious if you know wikitext a little:
  • Don't duplicate the trailing |}, this is the table end marker. If you do it will just look funny;
  • Between the original text and your duplicate entry, add
    • a line starting with |- It starts a new row;
    • a line with a single | symbol. This starts the first cell of the new row, which has the edit link, version info and download link.

More updating considerations

The section below keeps a tally of the plugins which do not exist in Unicode version. Each entry names such a plugin and provides known information on how it could be replaced along Unicode builds. Please update these entries as appropriate.

You can always edit the whole page. Since it is large and is bound to grow, this will only make things slower because of the extra bandwith requirements. And if a wreck ever takes place, it gets a chance of going global instead of remaining confined within a couple rows. Granted, admins can always revert any edit, cancelling both the mess and the intended changes. Please contact an admin if anything goes wrong - which cannot ever happen, as programmers say.

ANSI-only plugins
