If you’re starting out with web development, programming or just writing in general, you need a strong text editor in tow. A good text editor is one that helps you do things smartly and takes the burden of small tasks away from you, allowing you to focus on writing. Sublime Text is one such code editor but it’s a new one. If you’re a Windows user you have an option of Notepad++ (NPP from here on). As the name suggests, it’s an extended version of Notepad app and yes, it’s pretty powerful in itself.

But as it is with code editors, the true beauty of the app is brought on by the community. NPP has nurtured a vibrant community for many years and developers have created plugins to solve just about every big and small problem.

Let’s take a look at the best plugins for Notepad++ that will help you improve your productivity.

How To Install Plugins

There are two ways to install plugins for NPP. First is Plugin Manager in Plugins menu that lists all the available plugins. You can check the ones you want to download and press Install. But this manager doesn’t have search functions.

To install plugins downloaded from other locations ( .dll extension), download the file and paste it into C:Program Files(x86)Notepad++plugins. Restart the app to complete the installation process.

1. Install Markdown

Ok, this is not really a plugin but if you’re a coder or you write for the web, you swear by Markdown. Why would you have anything else when Markdown is so easy to write, format and plays nice with HTML. But one of the biggest gripes of NPP is that it doesn’t support Markdown natively, you’ll have to define the language. The process is simple.

Notepad

Step 1: Download this language file.

Step 2: From the Default Theme folder copy the userDefineLang.xml file and paste it in the NotePad++ folder.

Restart Notepad++ and you can select Markdown from the bottom of the language menu.

If you already have a userDefineLang.xml file in your NotePad++ folder, see this link for installation process.

Cool Tip: Go to Settings -> Preferences and turn on Multi-Editing to get multiple cursor editing feature from Sublime Text. This way you can edit multiple lines of code all at once.

2. MultiClipboard

Writing is copying, not just from the internet but internally as well. You’re constantly merging files and rearranging stuff. In such times a complete history of things you’ve copied overtime can come in really handy (even on Android). Download the MultiClipboard plugin and forget jumping back and forth between files and versions.

3. Emmet

Emmet (previously Zen Coding) is a web developer/designer’s must have plugin. It’s available for a wide selection of text editors including NPP. It does awesome things like auto complete for code, abbreviations that expand in multiple lines of codes and a lot more. Check out the demo at Emmet’s website to find out more.

4. Explorer

Having a file manager/explorer docked next to your code/document is really useful. If you’re a coder you have to juggle couple of files at once and going to the Windows Explorer for help everytime just isn’t feasible. For times like these, download the Explorer plugin and bring the file manager to you.

5. Compare

There’s never just one copy of a code or documentation. Especially when you’re working with a team. So use this plugin to load two files side by side and compare their differences.

6. NPPExport

Ok, so you wrote in Markdown, that’s awesome. But now you’ve got to send it somewhere. Unfortunately the website you are publishing on or the co-worker you’re sending it to doesn’t have the tools to properly read Markdown files. So you’ll have to convert the file either to HTML or RTF (Rich Text Format) that Windows/Office apps can read. This plugin will help you do that.

7. NppMenuSearch

NPP has a lot of options. A lot. Sure, they are sorted logically across menus and most of them have dedicated keyboard shortcuts but as we’ve seen time and again with Google Docs and Sublime Text, having a keyboard launcher utility is just better. So after installing the plugin just press Ctrl+M or go to the search field on the top right and start typing any command. After a few characters the relevant action will pop up, press enter to execute.

8. SpellChecker

You know what a writer can’t help make? Typos. No matter how good you are at writing, silly typos have a way of seeping through. But thanks to the clever technologies of the computing era, we can improve upon them before sending the words into the wild. Use the plugin SpellChecker to do so for NPP.

9. AutoSave

Getting tired of hitting Ctrl+S all the time? Losing data because you forgot to save it? Download this plugin (from Plugin Manager) and just focus on writing.

10. Preview HTML

If you don’t like opening Chrome to check on the changes you made, you can allot a floating window just for that. Press the shortcut Ctlr + Shift + H to bring up the preview. Download the plugin from Plugin Manager. It has a dedicated Refresh button for manual refreshes.
