As you can see from this GIF

By default notepad++ only can show max of 5 items within the lists.
Since I added alot of custom keywords …

is there a way for me to increase the dropdown size to maybe 15~30 ?
Where can I find the setting for this?

Nothing is built in by default, however, you can do it with a plugin. Install LuaScript via the PluginManager, edit it’s startup script and add this:

editor1.AutoCMaxHeight = 15
editor2.AutoCMaxHeight = 15

save and restart N++.

hi thx for the info… is this only work for specific language like “LUA language” since it’s named as LuaScript here?

Where can I find more info about those variable that I can be used in the script?
any documentation for all the variables?
editor1.AutoCMaxHeight = 15
editor2.AutoCMaxHeight = 15

what’s the “editor1” and “editor2” refer to ?

Edit:
these i guess…

Lua is just used to control Scintilla features that are not exposed by Notepad++, but it will work for any language.

what’s the “editor1” and “editor2” refer to ?

Since Notepad++ can have two files open side-by-side it has 2 “editor” instances refered to as “editor1” and “editor2”. So setting both editors makes sure that if you move a file to another view it still works correctly.

Yes that’s the official documentation.
