Notepad++ plugin to provide better cursor movements when using multiple selections.
Note: This may not be fully supported on non-US keyboard layouts. This does have some minor quirks (such as the cursor not always blinking correctly) that are a side effect of the implementation.
Ensure you have Multi-Editing turned on in Notepad++'s preferences. Settings > Preferences > Editing > Multi-Editing Settings
Make multiple or rectangular selections and move the cursor. Supported cursor movements are:
- Left
- Right
- Up
- Down
- Home
- End
- Word Left (
Ctrl+Left) - Word Right (
Ctrl+Right) - Delete Word Left (
Ctrl+Backspace) - Delete Word Right (
Ctrl+Delete) - Enter
You can also hold down Shift to extend the selections.
Install the plugin by the Plugin Manager, or manually by downloading it from the Release page and copy BetterMultiSelection.dll to your plugins folder.
The code has been developed using Visual Studio 2015. Building the code will generate the DLL which can be used by Notepad++. For convenience, Visual Studio copies the DLL into the Notepad++ plugin directory.
