      Notepad++ v8.6.5 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro
      Build time : Mar 29 2024 - 17:04:43
      Path : C:\Users\USER\Apps\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
      Command Line : “C:\Users\USER\Apps\Notepad++\change.log”
      Admin mode : OFF
      Local Conf mode : ON
      Cloud Config : OFF
      Periodic Backup : ON
      OS Name : Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (64-bit
      OS Build : 9600.21620
      Current ANSI codepage : 1252
      Plugins :
      AutoSave (2)
      mimeTools (3.1)
      NppConverter (4.6)
      NppExport (0.4)

      In earlier versoins of NPP there was a document list where I could add a shortcut to my custom library of Perl utilities. I thought that was under the View menu, now I cannot find it.

      Is it gone or has it moved to somewhere else in NPP?

        @bulrush15 ,

        Notepad++ doesn’t natively have “shortcuts” to specific files (and never has). So I can only try to guess what you may have done that you have inaccurate memories for.

        Did you use the Run-menu’s Run action, and Save? Because those would then show up in the Run menu. And you can link to existing files using that, by using a command "$(NPP_FULL_FILE_PATH)" "c:\path\to\libraries\blah.pm", which would cause blah.pm to be opened by Notepad++, or explorer.exe "c:\path\to\libraries\" could be used to open your libraries\ folder in Windows explorer.

        Or did you have a plugin which has the ability to add Shortcuts? I believe the Explorer plugin has the ability to use shortcuts.

          Maybe you had a version of N++ where you had the Explorer plugin installed; it has such a functionality (if I’m interpreting what you are describing correctly).


          EDIT: Peter said: “Or did you have a plugin which has the ability to add Shortcuts? I believe the Explorer plugin has the ability to use shortcuts.”

          I think I’m “channeling” Peter, but maybe I should be fully reading his posts that occur before mine.
