about notepad++.................


Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.

Based on a powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

This project is mature. However, there may be still some bugs and missing features that are being worked on. If you have any questions or suggestions about this project, please post them in the forums. Also, if you wish to make a feature request, you can post it there as well. But there's no guarantee that I'll implement your request.

You're encouraged to translate Notepad++ into your native tongue if there's not already a translation present in the Download Section. And if you want, help translating Notepad++ official site into your native tongue would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you enjoy Notepad++ as much as I enjoy coding it.

Here are the features of Notepad++ :

	Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding
	Supported languages : C C++ Java C# XML HTML PHP CSS makefile ASCII art (.nfo) doxygen ini file batch file Javascript ASP VB/VBS SQL Objective-C RC resource file Pascal Perl Python Lua TeX TCL Assembler Ruby Lisp Scheme Properties Diff Smalltalk Postscript VHDL Ada Caml AutoIt KiXtart Matlab Verilog Haskell InnoSetup CMake YAML COBOL D R PowerShell Gui4Cli

	WYSIWYG
	If you have a colour printer, print your source code (or whatever you want) in colour.

	User Defined Syntax Highlighting
	It allows user to define his own language : not only the syntax highlighting keywords, but also the syntax folding keywords, comment keywords and the operators. ( screenshot1, screenshot2, screenshot3, screenshot4 ).

	Auto-completion
	For most supported languages, user can make his/her own API list (or download the api files from dowload section). Once the api file is ready, type Ctrl+Space to launch this action (see screenshot). For more information about Auto-completion, please see Auto-completion HOWTO.

	Multi-Document
	You can edit several documents at the same time.

	Multi-View
	You have two views at same time. That means you can visualize (edit) 2 different documents at the same time (screenshot). You can visualize (edit) in the 2 views one document at 2 different positions as well. The modification of document in one view will carry out in another view (i.e. you modify the SAME document when you are in clone mode, see screenshot).

	Regular Expression Search/Replace supported
	You can search and replace one string in the document by using the regular expression.

	Full Drag ‘N' Drop supported
	You can open a document by drag & drop. You can also move your document from a position (or even a view) to another by drag & drop.

	Dynamic position of Views
	The user can set the position of the views dynamically (only in 2 views mode : the splitter can be set in horizontal or in vertical), see screenshot.

	File Status Auto-detection
	If you modify or delete a file which opened in Notepad++, you will be notified to update your document (reload the file or remove the file).

	Zoom in and zoom out
	That's another fantastic function of Scintilla component. Just see screenshot.

	Multi-Language environment supported
	The Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew Windows environments are supported. See Notepad++ under the Chinese Windows , under the Arabic Windows and under the Hebrew Windows in action screenshot.

	Bookmark
	User can just click on the bookmark margin (located right side of line number margin) or type Ctrl+F2 to toggle a book mark. To reach the bookmark, type just F2 (Next bookmark) or Shift+F2 (Previous bookmark). To clear all bookmarks, click the Menu Search->Clear All bookmarks. See screenshot.

	Brace and Indent guideline Highlighting
	When the caret stay beside of one of those symbol { } [ ] ( ) , the symbol beside of caret and its symmetric opposite symbol will be highlighted, as well as the indent guideline (if any) in order to locate the block more easily. See screenshot1, screenshot2 .

	Macro recording and playback
	You can save several macros and edit their keyboard shorcuts for the next use.

Binary files

For the binary (executable program) download, you have 2 choices: zip format and executable installer format. The installer format should suit for everyone since it gives all the possibilities (the choice of language, the options for components to install...). Whereas the zip format contains the minimum files to execute Notepad++. For the zip format installation, if it's the first time you install Notepad++, just unzip the zip file to desired directory, then execute notepad++.exe. However, if you upgrade Notepad++ from the previous version, you have to follow the instructions: Get Run Dialog by clicking start->run (Notepad++ should be closed). Copy this text %APPDATA%\Notepad++ into the text field of Run Dialog. Click ok. A folder named "Notepad++" will appear. Delete 2 files config.xml and stylers.xml then unzip the zip file and launch Notepad++. Download Notepad++ executable files

Source files

To build this package: For generating the executable file (notepad++.exe), you can use VC++ 7 or MinGW 3.0 / 2.X . A makefile is available, but not maintained anymore. I suggest you generate makefile via CMakeLists.txt come with this project by using cmake. For generating the dll files (SciLexer.dll) , you have to use VC++ 6 or MinGW 3.0 / 2.X All the binaries will be built in the directory notepad++\PowerEditor\bin Download Notepad++ source files

Plugins

From the v3.1, Notepad++ has the extension capacity - the plugin system. Please see Plugins HOWTO to learn how to install a plugin or/and how to develop a plugin. Check here to get the list of all plugins. Make your first Notepad++ plugin in less 10 minutes, follow 6 steps to make a very simple plugin: Downdload and unzip Notepad++ Plugin Template. Open NppPluginTemplate.vcproj in your Visual Studio. Define your plugin name in PluginDefinition.h Define your plugin commands number in PluginDefinition.h Customize plugin commands names and associated function name (and the other stuff, optional) in PluginDefinition.cpp. Define the associated functions. You are guided by the following comments in both PluginDefinition.h and PluginDefinition.cpp files: //-- STEP 1. DEFINE YOUR PLUGIN NAME --// //-- STEP 2. DEFINE YOUR PLUGIN COMMAND NUMBER --// //-- STEP 3. CUSTOMIZE YOUR PLUGIN COMMANDS --// //-- STEP 4. DEFINE YOUR ASSOCIATED FUNCTIONS --// A good sample illustrates better the whole picture than a detailed documentation. You can check Notepad++ Plugin Demo to learn how to make some commands more complex. However, the knowledge of Notepad++ plugin system is required, if you want to accomplish some sophisticated plugin commands.

Notepad Replacement

Here's a little Notepad++ launcher which allows you to replace Notepad completely by Notepad++. Installation Instruction: Backup your original Notepad.exe (we never know...). Copy notepad.exe which comes with this package into 4 directories (in given order) : c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 c:\windows\system32\dllcache c:\windows\system32 c:\windows When you replace notepad.exe in c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows, a "Windows File Protection" message box appears, click Cancel. Then another message box appears, click OK. Modify you registry (if you use installer to install your Notepad++, you don't need to do this step): Create key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Notepad++, then add your Notepad++ full path as the default value of this key. In my case, it's C:\Program Files\Notepad++. Now Notepad++ is your default Notepad. I make a point of thanking Stépho for his contribution. The source code is available here.

Explorer context menu entry (right click)

One of the most demanded features is open from Explorer Context Menu Entry (right click). The context menu feature comes with the installer. If you use the zipped package, download Notepad++ Context Menu Component, unzip NppShell.zip and copy NppShell.dll to your notepad++ directory, then run reg.bat. This component is made by Harry B. to meet the need of Notepad++. For the x64 OS (xp and vista) users, you can use NppShell 64 bits.

	Logos
	Some people asked me for Notepad++ logos to put on there sites. So here they are.

Language files

Notepad++ (from v2.3) supports the multilanguage functionality by means of a translated xml file (from english.xml). Normally you don't need it if you install Notepad++ by its installer. You may need the language file if you install Notepad++ from zip format binary (or if your language is not supported by NSIS installer). To make Notepad++ speak another language, you have to : Download the language you need, rename it to nativeLang.xml. Get Run Dialog by clicking start->run then type %APPDATA%\Notepad++ into the text field of Run Dialog. Copy nativeLang.xml into the opened Directory Launch Notepad++ Here are the available languages for Notepad++ for the moment: Chinese by Don HO French by Don HO Spanish by Alberto Martínez & Alzacon & Maira Belmonte & Larvitus Hungarian by György Bata Russian by Sergey Frolov & Piros aka Wonderer & Stjujsckij Nickolaj Dutch by Hans Luijten & Harm Hilvers & Klaas Nekeman Chinese Simplified by Li Chen & noword & DING2M & Wang Yong-Xian Polish by Marek Robak & Dzajek & Andrzej Michalski German by Dominik Geyer & Heinz Hemker & Meinrad Schwamborn & Jan Schreiber Italian by Consonni Daniele (bitmap) & Alberto Doria & Luca Tarasi & Luca Leonardi Danish by Kenneth Mikkelsen & Holger Terkelsen & Jørgen Rasmussen Czech by Ondrej Muller & Tomáš Hrouda Slovenian by Jure Zemljic Slovak by Juraj Valašik & Vladimír Belička Ukrainian by Taras Budurovych Turkish by FIRAT KÜÇÜK & Yavuz Tona Brazilien Portuguese by Cristiano Ascari & Ricardo Crudo Norwegian by Geir Håkon Eikland Swedish by Kjell Rask & Timmy Almroth & Johan Fredin Catalan by Manel Guerra & el_libre Arabic by Motaz Isamil & Abdulelah AlWabel Lithuanian by Meskauskas Audrius Galician by Emilio Rodríguez & Fabrica Finnish by Jaakko Salonen & Lukeboxi Greek by Dionysis Zindros & Θόδωρος Στεφανίδης Romanian by Viorel RB & Alexandru Bogdan Munteanu Extremaduran by Purgossu Korean by Kim Taegon & Choi Ji-Hui Hebrew by Ran Sasson & Ofir Aviram Portuguese by Bruno Antunes & José Caetano Silva Farsi by Khosro Afroozeh Samogitian by Mindaugas Machernis Bulgarian by Milen Metev (Tragedy) Indonesian by Dwi Susanto Albanian by Fatmir Raka Japanese by Chris Campbell & Kentaro Suzuki Croatian by Sivi Georgian by Daniel Basque by Ander Martinez Sanchez Aranese by Javier Torres Spanish (Argentina) by Eduardo Leon Belarusian by Робин Кот Serbian by Branislav Lukic Nynorsk by Thomas Bernes Thai by Wiennat Mongkulmann Malay by Andi Rady Occitan by Yannig MARCHEGAY Friulian by A.

User Defined Language files

There are some language files that you may need. Here're the instructions to install them : Download the user-defined language to your computer Open the file with your favourite text editor (such as notepad++ or notepad) Click start, run, type (or paste in) %APPDATA%\Notepad++ then click ok Open userDefineLang.xml with a text editor If this is the first userdefined language you are adding, copy/paste the entire first file (which you downloaded) into the userDefineLang.xml, replacing all that was there. If this is the second or more language you add, simply copy everything from the first file starting at to and paste it at the end of the userDefineLang.xml right before Save the newly improved userDefineLang.xml Please see User Language Define System HOWTO to have further information.
