load header file with same name as the current c file

Alan Kilborn

I can certainly show an example of how to add a script to the right-click context menu. But the script isn’t embedded there, it’s just “pointed-to” there. Have you installed the Pythonscript plugin and tried to get the script running manually?

Ion Marqvardsen

I am sorry, but I don’t know anything about Pytonscript or running scripts “manually”. That sounds weird to me.

I am not a super user of Notepad++, and my “programming skills” (if I can call it that) is limited to C and Matlab.

I totally understand, if you consider me a “lost cause”, at this point. Anyway, thanks for trying. Have a nice weekend. :-)

There are various plugins that have been written to solve your issue. Here is a presumeably uncomplete list (all untested):

QuickOpenPlugin
SourceSwitch
Switcher
Open Selection

Well… I’m not 100% sure (yet) but you are starting to sound like someone that wants to be spoon-fed, yes. I’m not so much into that, but if you show some amount of effort, I and others here are definitely “in your corner” and will help you.

Hi Alan,

I would need to be “spoon-fed”. And I don’t like that. When I made the request, I was hoping there would be a solution ready.

Once again, thanks for your help.

I will give the plugins on the list a try. They might be exactly what I was looking for.

Hmmmmmm…Pythonscript is just another plugin on the list…

Hi Alan,

For me there is nothing easy about pythonscripts. It is a question of knowing my limitations and balance between how much benefit there is with loading the associated header/source file versus the time to learn about and write the python code. Starting from where I am today, it does not give any meaning. I will have to progress on my own terms.

LOL

Ion Marqvardsen

Yes, I know. I understand you reaction.

You might want to install the Solution Tools plug-in. I use it and the <Ctrl>~ hotkey to cycle among files having the same name and various different file extensions.
