Suggestion: Pin or favorite languages in the language menu?

[pixelstuff]

Can we get the ability to pin or “favorite” languages in the Language menu to they sit at the top of the menu?

I find it somewhat tedious to keep scrolling down to the bottom of that menu to constantly get to XML, PHP, SQL, etc.

Or perhaps find a way to let the scroll wheel on a mouse scroll that menu.

Have you tried?:

You can add them to the toolbar using the Customize Toolbar plugin and its Custom Buttons feature.

@Alan-Kilborn - I have not. The compact menu looks like it might help. Maybe not quite a quick as pinning something to the top, but much better than clicking the arrow at the bottom over and over.

I NEVER use the Language menu. I just save a newly created file with the proper extension and Notepad++ sets the language for me. Suggest you try that as well.

As explained in this reply, you can also create a Macro that changes the active language selection.

I use the keyboard to switch languages.

• XML is Alt+L+X.
• PHP is Alt+L and while continuing to hold the Alt key down P+P+P then Enter.
• SQL is Alt+L and then S. As SQL is a ways down the list I tend to use the down arrow key rather than tapping S until I get to SQL.
