To use Firefox on the current edited html file

[Cyrille Piatecki]

@Ekopalypse I have noticed that (sorry I use Notepad++ in french) Affichage -> Affiche le ficher dans -> Firefox, I can have what I want but the file must be first saved and ther is no shortcuts

[Ekopalypse]

@Cyrille-Piatecki

You can assign shortcuts via the Shortcut Mapper

[Cyrille Piatecki]

@Ekopalypse Ok but I do not know what to write in Name and Catégorie

[Ekopalypse]

@Cyrille-Piatecki

you don’t, type Fire in the Filtre box, double click
on the filtered item and assign the shortcut you want to use.

@Ekopalypse SOrry for my former reply. I have seen in the panel Exécution . I have tried to typeset Firefox in Nom but it open Firefox alone not on the current file.

@Cyrille-Piatecki Thanks it works

If you want to execute something via the Run (Exécution) menu, use the variable $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) to pass it as an argument. It will be replaced by the actual file name.

Like firefox $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

@Ekopalypse Ok for your last suggestion and to have it permanently ?

[Ekopalypse]

@Cyrille-Piatecki

by saving it

[Cyrille Piatecki]

@Ekopalypse I have done what you suggest firefox $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) as a Programme à exécuter. But it says that it cannot find the file.

@Cyrille-Piatecki

This sounds like you have not installed firefox.
Are you using a portable version?
If so, you need to use the whole path something like
D:\whatever_path\firefox.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

And you can only use it on saved files, of course.
New 1 etc… do not work.

@Ekopalypse said in To use Firefox on the current edited html file:

D:\whatever_path\firefox.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

Word of warning: if either D:\whatever path\firefox.exe or the value of $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) have spaces in them, that will probably not work. As with all Windows paths that have (or might have) spaces, use quotes around them. So "D:\whatever path\firefox.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" .

Any time you are referring to a path inside Notepad++ config files, Run dialog, etc, I highly recommend putting quotes around the paths.
