NavigateTo - navigate between files(tabs) quickly like a Ninja :D

NN---

Small isues:

Key shortcuts don’t work, you cannot do Ctrl+A and delete
Page down selects an item unlike Up/Down which just travel in the list.
No simple key to reset selection like Esc or smth like that
Once you written anything next Ctrl+, preserves your text , which nice but mostly useless.

Thanks.

@young-developer Not sure if you are still developing this plugin?

One simple suggestion:

Adding NP++ blue/red icon to identify modified files.

That user hasn’t been in the forum since 2018. That plugin has a github page, so there’s an issues list there… but it looks like there hasn’t been any update to the plugin since 2018 as well. The chances are, it’s not being developed/maintained any more, though it wouldn’t hurt to put a feature request there, if a similar request doesn’t already exist.

Also, please note that the plugin interface changed slightly recently (NPP v8.3 and newer); if the plugin uses a certain set of calls , it may be unstable in the recent NPP versions (though no one has reported an instability here, and we heard about quite a few plugins that did use the changed call, so it might be okay).

Or even better: Stop using colors (or worse, colored diskette icons) that don’t mean really anything in today’s world, and use some icons that mean something: Notepad++'s “alternate icons” set.

@nn There is new version. v.1.12.7. It includes bug fixes and hotkeys issues were resolved and second view search was fixed. If you find any additional (regression )issues please create a ticket on GitHub.

New plugin v2 is available. Please retest and let me know if something else can be added/changed: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/releases/tag/v.2.0.0

It’s traditional to state what has changed, either here or on the release site (and I see nothing in either place). Updates typically have new features or bug fixes that make users interested enough to “go and see”. Without that, and without an easy update mechanism (e.g. through a N++ release, and a new plugin available on Plugins Admin), how many people are going to spend time doing this…

@Alan-Kilborn The same functionality as for old version 1 but reimplemented in v2. It is still in beta testing and I am trying to understand how users actually using it and try to add different options. I am going to post full list of new functionality for v2 as soon as all bugs will be fixed. Also each release on GitHub includes history of changes with descriptions: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/releases

@Alan-Kilborn I am going to add it to Plugin Admin as soon as it is stable. Manual installation is just for beta testers.

Well, you didn’t do that for where you linked before:

https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/releases/tag/v.2.0.0

Nor did you identify that as a “beta version” in your earlier posting.

If you’re going to provide an announcement here, it pays to make it an announcement with some real information…not simply “please retest”.

Now that I actually have some information, I will be trying out this new beta version of your plugin, and I will provide feedback if I have any.

Impressed that “5 years later” this thread and plugin again got attention. This plugin is exactly what I needed.

The alternative plugin mentioned by @DaveyD in 2017, called “File Switcher, by Dave Brotherstone” no longer appears in my Plugin Admin (maybe I’m doing something wrong) so I’m glad I have this.

[FYI: I found this plugin mentioned at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/14375/search-open-file-name after searching the internet for “notepad++ search open tabs” and “notepad++ search open filenames”.]

My problem is I have 31 tabs open and NavigateTo didnt see 2 of my tabs. Both are recently opened. But it does see fine another tab that was recently opened.

One of the missing files is from a flash drive, flash drive then removed, npp asks me if I want to keep it and I say yes. But the other is regular file resident on local drive. And other files from the flash drive show up. And another new file I just loaded while writing this is correctly present in the NavigateTo list.

I am using v.1.12.4.1 and my Notepad++ is at v8.3.3 which is not the latest.

Possibly this fix released in v.1.12.6 that I don’t have yet fixes it: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/issues/15; Or my issue could be different/similar/related.

I’ll update to the latest and try it again later when I have time.

If it helps:
