I am using Notepad++ for different languages i.e: JAVA, C, C++. For each of these languages I have installed plugins to make coding easier in Notepad++. The problem is that every time I start Notepad++ I have to go and run all those plugins manually. I tried recording a macro so that it will perform all these actions by one click but it didn't record anything I did with the plugins. The macro will record any changes I bring to the code or if I save the code to some other location but it won't record the actions performed by the plugins. Can anyone guide me to a solutions. Thank you in advance.

    Is there any reason you can't use a real IDE, such as Netbeans or Eclipse? They provide a wealth of features and functionality you cannot get in Notepad++ no matter how many plugins you add. For development, Notepad++ is to Eclipse as a skateboard is to a Ferrari. I suggest you seriously consider learning an IDE. Both Eclipse and Netbeans are free. – Jim Garrison Aug 05 '13 at 16:31

  • I have worked with Visual Studio 08,10,12 also Borland C++, Eclipse, Netbeans,IntelliJ IDEA and more. I have Notepad++ in a portable device to carry it with me when I travel. That's why I asked. – zindarod Aug 05 '13 at 16:54

Have a look at AutoHotKey tool. It can send keystrokes/mouseclicks to Notepad++ so you can easily combine invoking many menu items into one command. (And much more like work with clipboard, ask for values in input boxes, run apps or DLL's.) Please see AutoHotKey usage with Notepad++ in this answer.
