How to copy text file from Notepad++
-
Is there a way to copy (put into clipboard) a text file right from Notepad++, not the filepath, but file itself.
Thanks. -
Since you say it’s open in Notepad++, you can use
Ctrl-AthenCtrl-C– this selects all, then copies. It’s slighly more than one keystroke, but that’s still super efficient. -
@PeterJones I probably was not clear enough - I meant that the idea is to copy a file itself, right from Notepad++ as if you’d navigate to that file in Explorer and press Ctrl+C

Ah, okay, I understand. Notepad++ itself doesn’t have that feature. But as you apparently don’t remember from last October when you asked the same question, there are ways using a script for the the PythonScript plugin. It seemed more than you could understand at the time, but maybe it’s important enough to you to try again.
