Adding Custom Web Shortcuts in Notepad++ for Quick Access
-
Notepad++ is a powerful text editor, but adding a feature to create custom web shortcuts within the interface could make it even more efficient. Many users frequently visit documentation sites, references, or even quick break-time resources while coding or editing text.
For example, having a shortcut to open this. directly from Notepad++ could save time when multitasking. A built-in feature to assign custom links to a menu or toolbar button would be a great enhancement.
Suggested Features:
A customizable “Quick Links” menu for frequently visited websites.
The ability to assign hotkeys for opening web pages directly.
Plugin support to integrate external references efficiently.
Would this feature be useful for your workflow? Let’s discuss how it could be implemented! -

Maybe you didn’t realize this, but that’s exactly what the Run menu allows you to do, as you can read more about in the user defined commands section of the online User Manual.

It already exists.
I also doubt you actually want to discuss. I am assuming you are testing out your generative AI skills, based on the phraseology and buzzword-nature of your post. Please understand, as mentioned in the “Please Read Before Posting”, that generative AI content is expressly forbidden in this forum, as it’s a Community of Notepad++ users, and by definition, generative AI algorithms are not users of Notepad++. You can be banned from the forum for using it to generate your posts. Any more such posts from you will get you banned without further warning.
