custom button

Philippe Lajeu

Hello there, i’d like to know how i can create a cumtomized button to have a prewritten template already present on the page.

On practice it would be a call come in, i click this button and Pouf a new page with a perwritten templace appear. instead of always copy pasting from another text. Is that possible ?

With a scripting plugin it is fairly simple to do.
Here’s an example with PythonScript:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from Npp import editor, notepad

template_text ='''I am a template

of whatever you want; as

many lines as you want; or


whatever
'''

notepad.new()
editor.setText(template_text)

Result when you run it:

i click this button and Pouf a new page…

You can tie the running of a script to a toolbar button
