File Switcher

File Switcher is a super handy plugin that makes using Notepad++ even better! If you're like me and often have a bunch of documents open at once, this tool lets you flip between them easily by just picking from a list. Plus, it comes with a search feature that helps you find your files quickly, especially when you’ve got lots of them open.

Easy Setup for File Switcher

Getting started with this extension is a piece of cake! All you need to do is grab the DLL file from the download package and drop it into the plugins folder in your Notepad++. It works perfectly whether you're using the installer version or the portable one. Just remember, if Notepad++ was already running when you added it, you'll need to restart it to see the changes.

Navigating Open Documents

You can find File Switcher in the Plugins menu right in the main window. Once you're there, you'll see all your open documents listed out. Just click on one to switch over. The search function sits right above that list, making it super easy to find what you need.

Custom Search Options

This tool also lets you customize how you search! You can choose to be case sensitive so it knows the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. You can also limit searches to just the start of file names or paths and focus on only what's visible in your current view.

User-Friendly Features

File Switcher automatically resizes columns for better visibility and uses separate columns for your views. You can also use Home and End keys while typing in the text box. By default, it searches through filenames only, but if you'd like, it can include paths and file indices too.

Your Sorting Preferences

The plugin sorts results by filename and path by default, but feel free to switch that up to sort by path first or even tab order! It can remember your last choice too, which is pretty neat. And if you've got lots of results? No problem! You can sort them in descending order as well.

A Great Tool for Notepad++ Users!

Overall, File Switcher offers an awesome way to navigate through multiple open documents in Notepad++. Its standout feature is definitely its customizable search options that make finding what you're looking for quick and easy!
