      Hello,

      I am wanting to find a method to be able to change the text color of all hyperlinks in text files from the standard black, to a color of my choosing.

      I know I can do this on hover, but my goal is to change the color of all hyperlinks in a text file so they are a different color before I even hover over them.

      Is there any code, any macro, LuaScript, code, any other script, or any plugin that anyone is aware of or can make so I could do this?

      I have searched the internet for the past many hours and haven’t been able to find a solution to this.

      I greatly appreciate any help.

      Thanks

          Notepad++ does not have that feature built in.

          Try the Enhance Any Lexer plugin, defining a color/regex pair like 0x0000FF = https?://(\S)*? for text files to make normal links red. (The color and the exact regex are, of course, up to you to define to meet your own exact needs.)

            Hi, thank you for the reply. I installed that plugin and added that code, however, it only made the first part of the URL red, the https:// part. - Is there anyway to have the code detect the full URL and make it all red?

            Maybe a way to signal the start of the URL with https:// and the end of it terminating with a slash / - So a link like this (minus the space) https:// link/ would be fully red.

            If that is possible, please let me know.

            Thanks!

              removing the last ? should give you the desired result.
              But be aware that EnhanceAnyLexer works on lexer-specific documents for which it has been defined, ie,
              if you have defined it for normal text,
              it will not color it for, say, Python or C or php code etc…
