One of the best plugins out there. No default open.

[pchris7489]

Hello,

This plugin is a must have, even I am asking myself why isn't it included by default with Notepad++.

One problem in consequence, is that there is no option to open it when opening Notepad++. I must always click on Plugins >> NavigateTo.

Or am I wrong ?

Thank you very much

Installing the plugin automatically binds Ctrl+, (Control-comma) as a keyboard shortcut for opening the form, which is fast enough that IMO opening on startup is unnecessary.

That said, it wouldn't be too hard to add a configurable setting to open the form on startup.

@pchris7489 I can add additional logic to existing settings option: "Keep dialog visible."

Yes thank you, as I find myself using this plugin systematically when opening Npp, me having more than 100 tabs open (working on multiple HTML documents projects, and searching active opened files is far quicker and more efficient for programming)

So any updates ?

[young-developer]

@pchris7489 I actually added changes but forgot to push. I will commit changes in a minute.

Thanks!

I made this Python script to switch on startup to Document List after opening NavigateTo upon startup (NavigateTo > Keep dialog visible > Enabled):

showDocumentList.py placed in %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\PythonScript\scripts\

from Npp import notepad

notepad.showDocSwitcher(True)

In Python Script plugin > Configuration I configured:

• Initialisation > ATSTARTUP

• Automatically open console on error (no restart required)

I then added this code to startup.py (for 64 bit Notepad++ the path is at C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts, for 32 bit Notepad++ the path is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts):

import sys
import os

custom_script_path = os.path.join(
    os.getenv('AppData'),
    r'Notepad++\plugins\config\PythonScript\scripts\'
)
if custom_script_path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(custom_script_path)

import showDocumentList
