How reformat code in notepead++ 64, like this:

#include <iostream>
#include "sources/config.h"
#include <memory>

        using std::cout;
        using std::endl;
        using std::shared_ptr;

int main() 
{     int SIZE = 5;
    std::cin >> SIZE;
                    shared_ptr<int[]> ptr(new int[SIZE]{1 , 34, 65, 23, 2});
                    for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i) {
        ptr[i] = rand() % 10;
        cout << ptr[i] << endl;
    }}

by using plugins like editor config or code alignment …

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Andrey-Ws

on 32 bit notepad++ one of the best plugins to reformat c++ code would be textfx, which is available at the built in plugins admin (notepad++ 7.6.x).
the menu would be textfx > textfx edit > reindent c++ code as seen at the screencast below.

unfortunately the textfx plugin is not available for your notepad++ 64 bit, so you would have to install and use notepad++ 7.6.4 32 bit from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.6.4-released.html

note: there is an experimental version of textfx for x64, but currently exactly the c++ reindent feature is not working on that.
here’s the link, if you want to play around with it: https://github.com/HQJaTu/NPPTextFX/blob/VS2017-x64/bin/x64/NppTextFX.dll

Seen and duly noted. Nice job figuring it out.

Another nice plugin, but don’t format empty spaces between variables, etc…

TextFX can format empty spaces ?

TextFX can format empty spaces ?

the best thing is, if you test everything yourself, by downloading the portable notepad++ 7.6.4. 32 bit from here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.4/npp.7.6.4.bin.zip
(the portable version will work completely isolated from your installed version and is perfect for any testing. any settings or plugin installation you do at the portable version, will not modify anything at your installed version. that’s why many of us use this version for testing)

extract npp.7.6.4.bin.zip to your desktop.
start it by double clicking on notepad++.exe inside the npp.7.6.4.bin folder.
use the built in plugins admin to download textfx, or any other available plugins you would like to try.

happy testing.
