      Hi,

      I am using NP++ for coding C/C++ for Arduino.
      Compiling + uploading with Arduino-IDE and NP++ as an external Editor.

      Is it possible to expand the index of the autocomplete function over more than one tab?

      E.g.:
      Tab1 : 01_main.ino
      Tab2: 02_timer1.ino
      Tab3: 03_adc.ino

      When I write code in 01_main.ino the autocomplete-function doesn´t recognise e.g. function names, names from variables from the other tabs. So I have to switch between the opend tabs in order to verify that I wrote correctly.

      Debug Info:
      Notepad++ v8.2 (64-bit)
      Build time : Dec 30 2021 - 03:40:42
      Path : E:\PortableApps\PortableAppsPlatform\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++64\notepad++.exe
      Command Line :
      Admin mode : OFF
      Local Conf mode : ON
      Cloud Config : E:\PortableApps\PortableAppsPlatform\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Data\Config
      OS Name : Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)
      OS Build : 7601.0
      Current ANSI codepage : 1252
      Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll

      ThanX
      Rick

        It is not currently possible but if you want you can make a feature request for it. Info on doing that is HERE.

          Not natively as you’ve heard already. But there are ctags plugins that help with code navigation as well as providing autocomplete across a “project” of files. Have a look at NppGTags

          Cheers.
