Notepad++ is one of the most powerful alternatives to Window Notepad, which supports a wide range of programming languages with syntax highlighting and code editing features. Being an extensible application, it supports a number of plugins, which not only extend its native text & code editing functions, but also allow users to quickly use off-the-shelf code modules in their development projects. If you’re an avid Notepad++ user, and have installed a number of plugins, then you must’ve been dealing with a lot of menus and options’ dialogs. Since Notepad++ doesn’t provide an option to quickly search a menu or options’ dialogs, it becomes quite a wearisome task to manually search menus for accessing the required options. NPPMenuSearch is a plugin for Notepad++ that allows you to quickly search for a particular option from the available menus. For instance, if you are looking for the Settings dialog box of a particular plugin, use the NppMenuSearch’s search box to find the option or settings window you want to open.
To install the plugin, open Plugin Manager from Plugins menu. From Available tab, selectNppMenuSearch and click Install.
Once installed, it will add a search bar to the toolbar. You can easily change the position of the search bar on the toolbar by dragging it over the required section.
To search for a particular menu, just enter its name, and it will display the search results. The results box displays the complete path of each option related to your query, neatly stacked in different categories, such as Menu and Preferences. Clicking any search result will open the Menu or Preferences dialog box.
NppMenuSearch is an open source plugin that works on all versions of Notepad++. Testing was done in Notepad++ 5.9.5.
