Would be useful to have some more Plugins. :D

I personally use https://sourceforge.net/projects/nppjsonviewer/ a lot when working with IMVU and our site.

Other that that I only have the default plugins installed. I fine Notepad++ to be very capable without plugins for the most part. I find that regular expressions and the find/replace dialog cover most of my needs.


What is it you're looking to do?

Ah, okay thank you and I'm just looking for basic tools to make the overall experience a bit easier. I'm currently only using Quick Color Picker to show the hex colours on an underline so I don't have to keep checking what they are.

I can suggest:
-XML Tools which will basically help you in indenting XML files such as imvu XMF, XSF etc.
-Spell-Checker for typos in your language
-MultiClipboard shows you a history of things you copied before
-Explorer we all need a file manager/explorer
-Compare helps you diff two files

you can also look into other pluglins such as Preview HTML and NPPExport

Enjoy :panda1:

You tailor plugins based on what your needs are. So it depends on what you use Notepad++ for and which of those things you spend a lot of time doing to make a plugin worth installing.

While Notepad++ is my default text editor I mainly use it for writing code. Since Notepad++ handles most things I as a programmer would need out of the box (syntax highlighting, indentation guides, string manipulation, regular expressions etc.) I find myself not really needing any plugins.

What do you spend most of your time doing in Notepad++?

I'm mostly using it to learn basic coding languages in general, so I'm not really stuck on one thing, so I'd really want quite a few different plugins for different tasks if that really makes sense?

what elie suggested its like the basic pluggins that you would need. there are others
-Emmet aka zen coding.
and then the Npp is filled with lots of options like elli said the exporter and there is also the NppMenuSearch.
then theres the
-AutoSave which i think is pretty awesome.
-Preview HTML.
I just love Notepad++. its lightweight, i use it every single day.
