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.
