JSL plugin for notepad++

vince_faller — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 15:26:13 GMT

Just wondering if anyone has made a plugin for notepad ++ that will allow using notepad++ as the editor.

I like JMPs builtin but there are a slew of features in n++ that would be useful to be able to use. Plus the ability to use multiple languages is nice.

So I actually built a JSL plugin for notepad++. I'll say how to install it below, but might I recommend the JSL for VSCode extension that we moved to instead. It's under (semi-)active development and has much more extensibility. You can find it by downloading VSCode and searching extensions for "JMP" or in the VSCode marketplace.

But if you just really like notepad++. Here's how to install it.

Find your install directory, by default it’s C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++
Go to .\plugins\APIs
Drop jsl.xml in there
If you have cloud settings setup in in N++, go there if not go back to the install directory

Open your functionList.xml
Open funcitonList(JSL).xml from the zip
paste its contents in as another parser below </associationMap>
Save and close
Open your userDefineLang.xml
Open userDefineLang.xml from the zip and paste that in as another lang wherever looks appropriate
Save and close.
Reopen N++ and you should be good
??
Profit

I stopped developing it because I moved to VSCode
