[Notepad-plus-plus] feature request here?

[Marcin Krol]

Hello everyone,

I'm using notepad++ and it's great, although I'm missing two tiny features:

1. I'm editing Mako templates quite a lot, which are really HTML with
some programming language (Python/Mako) code fragments.

I would want to switch automatically to HTML language type when
double-clicking .mako file. However, for now there doesn't seem to be
option for that, even though I can enter a custom file extension.

2. Vertical block selection: it's there in some editors, and it's useful
sometimes.

Thanks for n++!

Regards,
mk

mk,
I'm not an authority on Notepad++, but this may work for you...

1) edit %APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
2) search for 'html', the line will look like:
<LexerType name="html" desc="HTML" ext="">
3) add 'mako' to the ext attribute.
<LexerType name="html" desc="HTML" ext="mako">

4) restart Notepad++

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks, this worked!

Although, being pain in the ass, I'll ask if it's possible to set this
association on more than one extension: I tend to edit HTML in n++ as
well...

Err...

you could just have gone to:

Menu > Settings > Style Configurator

Select HTML as the language

and added "mako" in the user extensions.
