Notepad++ JumpView Toolbar

From EventGhost

Jump to: navigation, search

This is for all coders out there.

New Notepad++ version 5.6.6 has one incredibly useful feature to help you navigate through your code. It is very similar to line bookmarks, but it is more andvanced in terms that it has 5 different slots for bookmarking and that it automaticaly bookmarks all identical code, so it is not contrained to code lines only, but it can be used on any selection. Kind of cross-breed between bookmarks and auto-tag-highlighting.

These functions can be found under menu Search->Mark All, Jump Up and Jump Down.

But, Notepad++ still can not customize it's toolbar so, if you want to effectively use this, you could either memorize keyboard shortcuts, or use main menu.

Since I was waiting for something like this for a long time, I wanted to be able to use it right away in a visual and user-friendly way. So, I used EventGhost and Desktop Remote plugin to build a nice small toolbar to handle this.

Provided here are 2 XML files, 1 for Notepad++ and 1 for EventGhost. The XML file for Notepad++ is addition of few extra keyboard shortcuts to help send commands in. Namely Ctrl+Alt+Shift+0 for clearing jump points, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+(1-5) for storing jump selections. The XML file for EventGhost is a complete config file.

Load this xml config file in your EventGhost (don't forget to save your current config tree), fire up Notepad++, try it and if it works for you, you can copy-paste it into your existing config.

It was done using EventGhost version 0.3.7.r1262 on 28. Jan 2010.
