Suggestion: Pin or favorite languages in the language menu?

pixelstuff

Can we get the ability to pin or “favorite” languages in the Language menu to they sit at the top of the menu?

I find it somewhat tedious to keep scrolling down to the bottom of that menu to constantly get to XML, PHP, SQL, etc.

Or perhaps find a way to let the scroll wheel on a mouse scroll that menu.

You can add them to the toolbar using the Customize Toolbar plugin and its Custom Buttons feature.

@Alan-Kilborn - I have not. The compact menu looks like it might help. Maybe not quite a quick as pinning something to the top, but much better than clicking the arrow at the bottom over and over.

I NEVER use the Language menu. I just save a newly created file with the proper extension and Notepad++ sets the language for me. Suggest you try that as well.

As explained in this reply, you can also create a Macro that changes the active language selection.

I use the keyboard to switch languages.

XML is Alt+L+X.
PHP is Alt+L and while continuing to hold the Alt key down P+P+P then Enter.
SQL is Alt+L and then S. As SQL is a ways down the list I tend to use the down arrow key rather than tapping S until I get to SQL.
