    I’m surprised, I thought C++ was the “original” Notepad++ plugin language

    It is.
    Because the OP wasn’t seeming to be interested in C++, I didn’t dig up and mention THIS which I think is the most-recent standard C++ template.

      An example of writing an npp plugin in java, the original author (sunjw) has deleted it in his github (https://github.com/sunjw) repository.
      Fortunately I fork it :-)

          I write most of my C/C++ code using Notepad++, only turning to something like Visual Studio to do a build of the code.

          What plugins do you use for code completion or codejumping?

            I use Notepad++ completion Settings => Preferences => Auto-Completion. It’s not ideal and only works on the local file - it’s not Intelli-Sense, but suffices for most my simple programming needs. For code navigation, I use a modified TagLEET.

            Cheers.

                    Just to say, I already linked to that earlier in the thread.

                      This is sometimes not enough, maybe.
