For 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

• allows window switching bound to a shortcut ( default shortcuts ALT+1 ... ALT+0 )
• opens corresponding h/c/cpp file through the means of a shortcut ( default shortcut ALT+O )

How to install

1. copy the plugin corresponding to your Notepad++ version into the Notepad++\plugins directory ( NppWindowSwitcherAnsi.dll for ANSI version, NppWindowSwitcherUnicode.dll for UNICODE )
2. configure the shortcuts
3. 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". 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 )
4. enjoy
