Notepad commands. Notepad: useful features. Keeping a work log

Notebook(English) Notepad) is a simple text editor that is part of the Microsoft Windows operating systems

Typically, Notepad is pinned to the basic Start menu.

If you do not have such an item, then to launch the Notepad text editor you need to run the following commands:

Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad).

1. Navigating through drives and folders in the window Opening a file Notepad editor is carried out in the same way as in the Explorer program, using the navigation buttons and the Folder menu located at the top of the window.

2. By default, this window displays only text files with the .txt extension.
To open any other file, such as an HTML document, in text mode, select All Files in the Files of type menu.

3. You can burn the edited file to disk under the same name, or, if the file has never been saved, place it in any folder on the disk as a text document with the extension .txt by selecting Save in the command menu File.
To save the current file with a name and arbitrary extension you specify, run the command File->Save As .
To create a new file use the command File->Create (File->New).

!!! Remember Notepad does not support editing multiple text documents in one working window, so when you create an empty file or open an existing one, the contents of an old, unsaved file that is currently open in the Notepad window, is destroyed.

4. View menu The Notepad editor contains only one item: Status Bar.
If the checkbox next to it is selected, a status bar will be displayed at the bottom of the text editor window, and on it will be the number of lines in the document being edited and the number of characters in each line.

5. By default, text typed in the Notepad window is compiled into one line, which is transferred only when you press a key. Enter. If you want the entered text to be automatically transferred to a new line in the editor window according to the width of the screen, check the box next to the item Wrap by words (Word Wrap) in the command menu Format (Format).

Fonts

Text editor Notepad do not support design text documents using font selections, as well as formatting text blocks, but you can change the settings of the base font used by default in Notepad.

NOTE
Changing the base font of the Notepad editor will not affect the formatting or settings of the text document in any way: the typeface and size of this font only affect the display of the file on your computer screen. For example, if you later open such a document in Notepad on another computer, the text will again be displayed in the base font.

To change Notepad's base font settings, select item Font in the command menu Format.

On the menu Font dialog box of the same name, you can select the font typeface that you plan to use in the editor by default in the menu Font Style- writing style: Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic. And finally, on the menu Size you can set the font size. The appearance of the selected font will be displayed in the window Sample.

6. The Unicode standard allows create multilingual text documents, typed in the Notepad editor in the same font.

On the menu Character set (Script) dialog box Font contains a list of national languages ​​whose characters are supported by the font you have selected. Once you select the appropriate language script from the list, the set of national characters it contains becomes available and you can use them to create multilingual documents.

Working with the clipboard

In the process of editing text documents, the user quite often has to work with the clipboard, copying various fragments of text from one program to another. To work with the Windows clipboard, Notepad provides a special set of commands contained in the menu Edit.

Commands for working with the Notepad editor clipboard

	Hotkey combination	Purpose
Select All		Selecting the entire amount of text typed in the Notepad window
Cut		Cutting a selection of text and placing it on the clipboard
Copy		Copying a selected piece of text to the clipboard
Paste		Pasting a block from the clipboard into the document, starting at the position indicated by the cursor
Delete		Delete selected text

Search and replace

Search functions a fragment of text according to a sample entered by the user and replacing one fragment with another throughout the document greatly facilitates the preparation of text files. To search for a word or phrase in the document you are editing, use Find window, which opens when you select an item Find (Find) in the Edit menu.

Search pattern the corresponding text in the document being edited is entered into the field What (Find what). Search direction- up or down from the current cursor position - set using a switch Up and Down. If you want to organize case sensitive search, check the box next to the function Case sensitive (Match case). The search procedure is started by pressing a button Find Next.

For automatic replacement one text fragment to another in the command Edit menu function provided Replace. Just like in the previous case, in the field Find what) a search pattern is entered, and in the field Replace with- text with which to replace detected occurrences. At the click of a button Replace The Notepad editor replaces the first text fragment that matches the pattern. To automatically replace all similar occurrences in a document, click the button Replace All.

Go to Line function window), appearing on the screen when selecting an item Edit->Go to, serves to quickly jump to a line in a text document by its number, which you specify in the corresponding field of this window. This Notepad feature can be extremely useful when developing programs and executable scripts if an error is identified in one of the lines of code during debugging.

Page Setup and Printing

In order to configure page settings Before printing text, click on Page Setup (Page Setup) command File menu

On the menu Size paper size is indicated, and in the menu Submission (Source)- source of paper for the printer (manual or automatic sheet feed mode).
On the menu Orientation you can select the position of the paper sheet when printing: Portrait - vertical or Landscape - horizontal.
In chapter Margins) you can set the sizes of all four fields in millimeters.

At the top and bottom of a text document printed from the Notepad program, there may be one or another service information that is automatically inserted into the print file. This information is commonly called headers and footers because they are placed above and below the main print area in the document. Accordingly, the data displayed at the top of the sheet is called a header and can be entered from the keyboard using a sequence of special characters in the Header field. The data printed at the bottom of the sheet is called a footer and can be manually configured in the Footer field. For the Russian and English versions of the Notepad text editor, the meanings of the service characters used to control the format of headers and footers are slightly different. All these values ​​are shown in the table

Special commands for customizing the header and footer of the Notepad text editor

Russian version	English version	Purpose
		Substitution of the name of the file being printed or the value Untitled (Utitled) if the name is not specified
		Substituting the current time using the computer clock
		Substituting the current date using the computer calendar
		Inserting the current page numbers of the document being printed
		Ampersand (&) character substitution
		Positioning the header and footer to the left edge of the page
		Positioning the header and footer in the center of the page
		Positioning the header and footer to the right edge of the page

Special header and footer format control characters can be combined with each other; It is also possible to insert arbitrary text into the corresponding print settings fields. For example, if you are printing a one-page document that has been named Sheet, you can include the following line in the header field: Document: &f Page: &c &c. In this case, the following will be printed in the top center of the printed document: Document: Statement Page: 1.

Clicking the button Printer - Properties,

You can also change the current settings of the default printer on your system.

To print the document, click on the button Print in the command menu File. The Print Wizard dialog box will appear on the screen.

In field Select printer you should click on the printer to print in the field Number of copies indicate the required number of copies of the document, and in the field Page Range- a list of the pages you want to print.
Printing starts after pressing the button Print.

Automatic insertion of date and time

If you want to insert the current date and time into the document you are editing, it is not at all necessary to enter them from the keyboard: the Notepad program allows you to place them in the text automatically. To do this, follow these steps:

In the command menu Edit select item Date and time or simply press F5.

The program will insert the current date and time according to the computer clock at the position indicated by the cursor.

Keeping a work log

Often when working with text, it becomes necessary to record the time and date of each file editing session, for example, in case you later need to restore the chronology of any changes made to the document.
The text editor Notepad allows you to automatically record each access to the file being edited, saving this information in the document itself.
In order to enable the function of automatic logging of work with a file, in the very first line of an open or newly created document, enter the parameter from the keyboard .LOG (required to use capital letters and starting point).
In the command menu File select item Save. Now, every time a text file is opened for editing, the current time and date according to the computer clock will be written to the end of it.

Although you can, as mentioned above, if you press the F5 button in the notepad, the current time and date will be inserted right away: o)

Interesting features

• If you run Notepad with the command line switch /.setup, then after launching Notepad will “freeze” - its window will not be drawn, although it will work correctly.
  For example, in such a Notepad you can type text blindly and save it to a file on disk.
  To exit this stuck notepad, you can use the Esc key or the Ctrl-C combination.

• In Notepad, you can undo the last changes to the text, but no more than three.

• If you create a text file, write into it the phrase “bill gates fucking asshole (we are all going to die)” or “bush hid the facts (And the authorities are hiding)” or any format “xxxx xxx xxx xxxxx”, and close the file after saving it, then the next time you open the file, the contents will be replaced with hieroglyphs. So that! - But it doesn’t work under seven!

Alternatives

• MS-DOS Editor (edit.com) - console text editor. You can divide the editing window into two parts, like in Word.
• Write (Windows Write ; not to be confused with the below Writer from OpenOffice) is a standard editor for 16-bit versions of Windows, which differs from Notepad in the ability to format text.
• WordPad — remake of Write for Windows 95 and subsequent ones. The version distributed in Windows 7 supports not only the traditional RTF/DOC format (Word 6.0) and OOXML (Word 2007), but also - attention! - ODF (OpenOffice).
• Word (WinWord) - the most multifunctional and heaviest of all notebooks known to date.
• AbiWord — a little more functionality than in WordPad: add-ons, headers and footers, tables, page numbering, footnotes, links, bookmarks, insertion of pictures and files, online services.
• Writer - a free analogue of Word from the OpenOffice.org package.
• PageMaker - the same notepad, only for web designers.
• T extPad — the same notepad, only with basic code highlighting, regular expressions and other features.
• GEdit - the same notepad, only compiled for GNOME and with additional functions.
• Leafpad - the same notepad, but for Linux.
• TEA - a fairly loaded version of the notepad with a ton of possibilities, it also contains the Kvass file manager and a word analyzer in the text UNITAZ. (seriously)
• Bluefish — GTKshny text editor, designed primarily for direct editing of HTML and PHP code.
• vi - the same notepad, only console and for Linux, it has wide functionality.
• SciTE — a convenient cross-platform text notepad, with the ability to run scripts in the debugging window. With syntax highlighting, but without support for DOS encodings.
• Notepad++ - an unfinished version of SciTE for Windows. Currently, Notepad++ has developed significantly and has acquired support for many functions useful to programmers in both dead and immortal languages, while still remaining quite lightweight.
• Notepad2 — an extended version of Notepad with a toolbar and syntax highlighting.
• EmEditor — the same notepad, only faster, with syntax highlighting and support for different encodings.
• AkelPad - the same notepad, only there is support for encodings and plugins. Also, this option can correctly read and save binary files and therefore, unlike Notepad, can be used as a very primitive hex editor.
• Stirlitz - the same notepad, only it can recognize the text encoding, sometimes even in cases where the text has been repeatedly translated into different encodings.
• http://docs.google.com— Google Docs - the same notepad, only in the online version, also works with many Microsoft Office files.
• http://bloka.ru- from the same series, in minimal style.

And this is not a complete list. In general, the alternatives are a wagon and a small cart :o)

My favorite text editor. The article will describe all sorts of things that are worth remembering when working with it. Number sorting, keyboard shortcuts, and so on.

CTRL + D – Duplicate the selected code.

Ctrl + F2 – Mark a line with a mark.

F2 – Move to the next marked line.

Shift + F2 – Move to the previous marked line.

Ctrl + J – Merge selected lines into one.

Ctrl + B – Go to the corresponding bracket (closing or opening).

CTRL + Space – Code completion:

Sorting selected rows

Go to TextFX → TextFX Tools → Sort lines case sensitive (at column) .

But this sorting will not sort numbers as numbers - the program will perceive them as strings. To sort numbers, you need to install the plugin:

To do this, copy the contents of the archive into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins.

After this appears in the menu item Plugins → NppColumnSort:

And now the lines

will be sorted as:

Spellchecking

Autocompletion

It was already noted above that the CTRL + Space keys bring up the auto-completion window. But pressing the bottom every time is not convenient. It would be easier for everything to arise on its own. This is done like this:
Options → Settings → Reserve/Auto-Complete. Check the boxes you need:

Special allocations

One of the killer features in Sublime Text 2 is multi-selection. It turns out that it is also available in Notepad++. Go to the program settings Options → Settings → Editing and check the box:

And now, if you press the Ctrl key, you can select several text blocks at once (Multiple selection). At the same time, if you do not deselect, then when you start writing, the text will be entered in all selected places:

And while holding Alt, you can make a vertical selection:

Minimap

One of the main “killer features” in Sublime Text 2 is the minimap on the right, which can be used as a slider. It turns out that it is also available in Notepad++.

Go to View → Document Map:

True, it is not as convenient as in Sublime.

Working with projects

If you are working with some kind of project (website, program, etc.), then you usually work with many files in one folder with subfolders. In this case, it is better to work with the project function View → Project → Project Panel 1:

Right-click on the workspace item and select Add New Project and name it somehow:

Now right-click on the project and select the Add files from directory menu item:

Now we have a tree of our files that is easy to navigate and edit. Moreover, not only test files are included here, but also all the others. Of course, you can save the project and add files separately. In general, a convenient thing.

I once used the dreamweaver editor, but when I started designing websites for the WordPress engine, I settled on Notepad++ editor. I'm happy with it.
Today I will tell you about convenient settings in the Notepad++ editor. With these settings you can save a lot of time.
So, if you don't have Notepad++ editor, then you can download it for free.

Fast encodingUTF-8 inHTML document

Every time you create a new HTML document in Notepad++, you constantly need to change the file encoding from ANSI to UTF-8 (without BOM). If you do this constantly, then it takes a lot of time, and it gets boring, and sometimes you can forget.
To ensure that when creating a new HTML document the encoding is automatically UTF-8 (without BOM), you need to do the following:
1). In the top menu, click on the item “Options” => “Settings...”

4). Click on the “Close” button.

After these settings, when creating a new document, your HTML document will immediately have UTF-8 encoding (without BOM). By the way, I recommend reading the article about.

I don’t know about you, but when I create a new html document, I always write , or copy it from other html documents:

1). Open Notepad++ editor and create a new document
2). Now click on the “Start Recording” button:

3). After clicking on the “Start Recording” button, enter the main HTML code with your fingers or paste the finished one.
4). When you have completed the code, click the “Stop” button:

Settings:

- “Name” – here write the name of the entry, for example: the main HTML code.
Below, specify the hotkeys for calling the entry. For example: I put the birds on “CTRL+SHIFT+ALT”+“K”

Now, if you need the main HTML code, you just need to click on the hotkeys that you specified or go to the “Macros” menu and select the entry name

In this way, you can make your own library of various code cheat sheets, scripts, etc.

Automatic code renewal is another useful feature that the Notepad++ editor gives us, webmasters. If anyone doesn’t know what this opportunity is, I’ll tell you. When you write code in the Notepad++ editor, you will see suggested tags in the list:

So, there are two ways to call the code autorenew window:

1). To call the code renewal window, use hotkeys "CTRL" + "Space (space)". The disadvantage of this method is that you need to press the keys frequently;

2). This method will allow you to forget about hotkeys for calling the code atomization window, since the window will appear automatically. To do this, you need to go into the settings and tweak a few things. So open it “Options” => “Settings” => “Reserve/Auto-Complete” and check the boxes next to the required settings:

Attention: two methods work if the file is saved and the file extension is specified, for example: “html, css, php”.

Sometimes there are situations where you need to highlight certain pieces of code in different colors. This need arises when the code is huge and you often need to return to some place. The highlighted code (highlight) remains until you close the document.

So, select the desired piece of code and right-click. In the list that opens, select “Style token” and any style 1-5.

I marked the result with an arrow and a number (5)

Working with projects

If you work with a large number of files, then to speed up time I recommend using the function "Project":

1). Click on the tab in the menu "View" => "Project" => "Project Panel 1"

3). Right-click on your project. Select the item from the drop-down list "Add files from directory":

This is how we made a file tree that is easy to navigate and edit, add and save files. Convenient and fast!

This is what it will look like after adding files from the directory:

In the Notepad++ editor, it is possible to check text for errors.
1). So, to enable this feature, click on the button "spellchecking":

3). Close the Notepad++ editor. Download and install first the full version of Aspell, and then the Russian, Ukrainian and English dictionary:

4). Open the Notepad++ notepad again, now you have the ability to check the text for spelling errors. To check spelling, the document must be encoded in UTF-8 (Unicode) or UTF-8 without BOM, otherwise it will not work. Next, select the desired word or the entire text and click on the “spell check” button. Here's the result:

Attention: Let me remind you once again that the file encoding must be UTF-8 (Unicode) or UTF-8 without BOM, otherwise the spell check will not find errors:

If you have a file saved in ANSI encoding, convert the file to UTF-8 or UTF-8 without BOM. To do this, go to the menu "Encodings" => "Convert to UTF-8" or "Convert to UTF-8 without BOM":

Hotkeys in the Notepad++ editor

To view or change hotkeys for calling any actions, you need to go to the tab in the menu “Options” => “Hot keys...”

Here are a couple of necessary hotkeys that I use to speed up my work:

Useful addition

1). If you select text, right-click on it and select tab "Comment out selection", then all selected text will be commented out like this:

2). If you right-click on the field and select the “Comment Selection” tab, you will see a quick option to comment out the code:

By the way, read how to comment out code in HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript.

That's all! Of course, there are a lot of possibilities in the Notepad++ editor, but for me these are the most necessary ones. If you have something interesting to tell about the capabilities of the Notepad++ editor, write in the comments.

P.S. Thank you all for your attention and do not forget to subscribe to my blog updates .
Good luck!

Hello dear beginning web masters.

In this article we will look at how to download, install and use the most popular code editor - Notepad++.

There will also be some additions taking into account the latest versions of the editor, namely how to add a browser to the Start menu.

In this article we will also consider the main points of working with the editor, since it is impossible to describe all its capabilities at once and a whole section is devoted to this (see the menu at the end of the article).

So let's get started.

Notepad++ is a free, very convenient editor, with syntax highlighting, a Russian-language interface, support for all programming languages, and a bunch of other useful gadgets.

The first thing you will need to learn, and what you will certainly really like to do, is to write some code in the editor, and then immediately open the result in the browser to see what happened and correct what did not turn out the way you wanted I would like to.

That is, to make, as it were, a sandbox, or a debugging site. Although there are plenty of similar programs on the Internet, Notepad++ in this case has no competition.

It opens the result of the code directly in the browser, which is more realistic than a sandbox, and you can apply analytics in it, for example.

In the future, I will introduce you to plugins that expand the editor’s capabilities to such limits that, in general, nothing is impossible.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves and start with the installation.

As usual, we type “Notepad++ Russian free download” into the search engine. We click on “Search”, and so many offers open that our eyes widen.

True, the site is in English, but with the Chrome translator, it doesn’t really matter.

But the software is downloaded directly from the site, without any redirections to download pages and file hosting services.

Absolutely all the editor software is here. The latest versions are presented on the main page, and if you follow the link more nevs>>, all versions from the first to the last will open.

This is very relevant due to the recent boom in editor updates and, as a result, its often incorrect operation.

I'm used to working with version 6.1.2. which I have never had any complaints about, so I will install it, but these are my personal preferences, you can install the latest version

So, click on the selected version, after which the editor begins to download.

In the Chrome browser, in the download window, in the lower left corner of the screen, click on the triangle on the right, and in the menu that opens, select “Open when finished.”

Then the User Account Control window will appear. Click Yes.

In the next window, select the editor interface language. By default, it’s already set to “Russian,” so just click “OK.” After this, you will be greeted by the installation wizard, to whom you need to give the “Next” command.

Then you will be asked to read the license agreement, which is better to just “Accept”, since they are all standard.

After this, indicate the folder in which the editor is installed, usually Program Files, click “Next”.

It then asks which program components you need to install. It often happens that advertising applications are hidden in such a list, but I checked there is nothing like that here, so “Next”.

Here you need to indicate where and what shortcuts will be created. You can also not change anything and just click “Install”

The installation will take place, and the installation wizard window will open again, in which you need to give the “Finish” command.

After that, on the taskbar, at the bottom of the screen, an icon with the image of a notepad with a pencil will appear, and if you click on it, the main page of the editor will open.

If the editor icon does not appear on the taskbar, then you need to go to the “Start” menu (the first character at the bottom of the screen), find the “Notepad++” line there, click on it, and in the submenu that opens, right-click on the line with the Notepad++ icon (notepad with a pencil), another menu will open in which you need to select “Pin to taskbar”.

You need to place it on the taskbar because you will have to use it very often in the future, and you can open the editor from the taskbar with one click.

Notepad++ editor is installed. Now the fun begins.

Application Guide

The guide will take up an entire section, since it is impossible to describe all the features of Notepad++ in one article.

So let’s start here, and see the continuation in the menu at the end of the article.

I don’t even know yet how many items it will have, since the editor already has about fifty plugins, and there is also a horizontal menu and a toolbar.

First of all, let's learn how to do what I talked about at the beginning of the article, namely, open the result of the written code in the browser.

Simply put, watch how the browser displays what we wrote in the editor.

To do this, you will need to make some preparations on your computer. They are not complicated at all and can only be done once.

After completing them, you will be able to open as many files as you have written in your browser. Even write an entire website.

So, in order for a file written in Notepad to open in your computer’s browser, you need this file to be present on your computer.

And since, of course, it is not provided by default in your OS, we need to create it, or rather, create a location (folder) in which we will save the file written in Notepad. And the browser will see it there and display it on the screen.

The easiest way to create a folder is in the Documents library due to ease of access. You can, of course, choose any other location on your computer for these purposes.

We go to the “Documents” library (Start - Computer - Documents), and by right-clicking on the file field, select “Create” from the menu that opens.

In the “Create” menu, select “Folder”, after which, in the file column of the “Documents” library, a line will appear with the folder logo and the line “New Folder” colored in blue.

Press the “Bachspace” key, the “New folder” line is cleared, and write the name “site” instead. Finally, click on the empty field - the “site” folder is saved.

This means that space on your computer for files written in Notepad++ is ready.

If you plan to create and open php files, then it is much different, since the scripts will require an interpreter, the functions of which can be performed by .

Now open the editor by clicking on its icon and get to the main page of Notepad++.

On this page we find the “New” icon, which is located at the very beginning of the editor toolbar (topmost line), and by clicking on it we open a new tab, nev1, in which we will create the file.

.

The next step is to find the “Encodings” menu, in the same top line, and by clicking on it, select UFT8 (without BOM). This encoding is designed to correctly display Russian letters.

In other encodings, all Russian letters will be displayed as question marks, or some other incomprehensible symbols.

The file is an html document, and in order not to waste time writing its skeleton, I suggest going to the chapter, copying the code given at the beginning of the article, and pasting it into nev1.

By the way, in the same article you can find out what the framework of an HTML document consists of. It will come in handy.

Now click on the “File” menu (top line), select “Save as...”, and in the Explorer search window that opens, find the “site” folder we created.

We open it (an empty field will open), and at the bottom, to the file name nev1, we assign the extension in which we will create the document.

This could be nev1.html, or nev 1.css, or nev 1.php. You can remove nev 1 altogether and immediately write index.html, index.php or style.css and “Save”.

By the way, the editor supports all extensions available in nature.

After this, our file in the editor will look like this:

Now you can try to write something in the body of the document (body tag), and see how the browser displays our entry.

Let's write the biggest h1 heading as a test.

We save the written code by clicking on the third icon from the left on the toolbar - “Save”.

By the way, for each icon located on the editor toolbar, when you hover the cursor over it, the name of the corresponding tool appears in Russian, which eliminates errors.

When saving, the file floppy disk turns from red to blue, which will also always warn you against errors.

To open the result, find the “Start” menu and select your browser in it.

Since I have Chrome, I will open the file in it.

Well, now you can safely experiment with html code and style sheets (they can also be written in an html file, in the head tag), and immediately see what comes out of it.

Update

I have to include this chapter in the article already this year, 2019, since both the editor and the software have experienced a boom in updates since the writing of the article.

I started receiving comments that in the Start menu of new versions of the editor there is no list of browsers in which you can open files.

It was somehow incomprehensible to me, exactly until I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 and encountered the same problem.

If you have the same thing, then read the solution, if not, then skip this chapter.

So, in the Start menu there is no list of browsers, but there is some kind of crap, like Wiki and something else, that does not open anything.

First of all we go to Computer - Disk C. We are interested in two folders Program Files and Program Files (x86)

Open both and see which one has Nontepad++ installed, and which Google folder has Chrome installed in it.

I found them in different catalogs. I just don’t understand why Microsoft was scared to install Chrome and Mozilla in (x86). But it is what it is.

We go to the Toolbar, in the top ten it opens by the Search icon on the taskbar, where you need to enter the command Toolbar, then Programs and Features and delete our Notepad++.

Then again go to Notepadd++ Home and select the version of the editor with the icon (x86), you don’t have to look at the bit depth.

Download it and launch the editor as described above.

The Start menu is the same, so we will add browsers manually.

First, let's write something in the editor for testing after installing the browser.

Now let's see, I've changed it a little, not exactly the way it was, especially for you, well, you'll understand the point.

Anything unnecessary can be removed. To do this, click Change hotkeys

The Hot Keys window will open, in which we click on the line with the name of the option, it is highlighted in blue and click Delete.

Close the window and go back to the Start menu. There is only one line left in it - Launch.

Let's move on. The Launch window will open asking you to enter parameters.

Click on the search engine (a square with three dots) and find the desired browser in the search engine that opens on our computer.

That is, again This computer - drive C - Program Files (x86) - Google - Chrome - Application

This directory contains the browser executable file

Double click on it and the file path appears in the Launch Editor window.

But this is only launching the browser, and we need to open the file in this browser, so we need to add the command to the existing path

$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

The general entry in the options bar of the Run window will be like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Enter and OK.

Now in the Launch window, click the Launch button.

Result

You can check it from the Start menu - everything works fine.

Other browsers are added in the same way. Make sure that the browser and editor are in the same directory.

Perhaps you need to pay attention to this even at the stage of downloading the application. You need to take this into account and be more careful when installing additional programs on your computer.

Most likely, during the loading process this issue is discussed in the dialog boxes, but out of habit, after seven, the necessary attention is not paid to it.

Let's continue our acquaintance with Notepad++

For webmasters who use a CMS to manage their website, the Notepad++ editor is also very useful, and at the very beginning.

After all, if you install the engine yourself, you will have to encode the “config” file in it, and you can only do the encoding in this editor.

Now let's see what else is on the toolbar and what you will most often have to work with.

Forward-Back option - two semicircular arrows. Mostly, of course, Back.

For example, if you make a mistake and the browser displays a line, you can quickly take a step back to put everything back in place without messing with the code, and the number of such steps is unlimited.

The step size is one click, so you can experiment as much as you like without fear of messing up the entire code.

The next great feature that makes writing code a lot easier is drag and drop. You can drag any section of code with your mouse, to any place in the code, you just need to select the desired section, and drag it wherever you want.

Very often, after viewing the result, there is a desire to swap some elements, and here drag and drop greatly simplifies the process.

By the way, you can drag and drop open tabs, just like in a browser.

If you are not entirely sure of the correct spelling of some html tags and attributes, css properties and values, functions, operators and other php elements, then you can enable auto-completion for a hint.

When you activate this option, you just need to type the first letter and Notepad will offer you several ready-made word options.

This option is enabled like this. In the “Options” menu, select “Settings”. In the settings window, select the “Reserve/Auto-Complete” tab.

Then, under the “Auto-completion” heading, check the “Enable for each input” checkbox.

At the very beginning of learning programming languages, these tips are just a lifesaver. After all, it is impossible to quickly learn and remember all the elements of the code, and even the correct spelling of them in English.

In the same section, you can activate the “Reserve” option, or backup, which will allow you to save the file you wrote in a separate folder on your computer.

To do this, under the “Backup” heading, check the “Simple” checkbox, then check the “Custom save folder” checkbox.

After that, click on the square with three dots, and in the search window that opens, select the folder in which the editor will save all copies of the files you wrote.

Search Notepad++

The editor search is equipped with more than just search functions. With it, you can make multiple changes in a file and even in all open files at once.

You can change any of the characters and any word, as well as add them to the beginning and or end of the line.

You can add or remove spaces after the designated character or word, as well as between lines.

The topic of search is quite extensive and therefore one of these days there will be a separate post on it.

If someone doesn't want to wait, try playing with the buttons and symbols in the input fields in the Replace tab in the Search window (Binoculars icon). Amazing discoveries await you.

I wish you creative success.
