Notepad++ Keyboard Shortcuts

Notepad++ has become my favorite editor when coding PHP or XML. It just has so many useful little features. You can have all of the documents you need opened in one window and separated with tabs. You can have a 2nd workspace hidden within the same window, which is great when you are updating some code, you can have the original in one “view” and the new code in another view. The FIND feature of looking into all open documents, or documents in a directory is awesome to have if you are stuck on windows and don’t have cools tools like ‘find’ and ‘grep’ handy.  I have also setup my own “language” that parses through Java error logs so that you can collapse each error and skip all of the “at ..” lines when not needed.

The TextFX plugins are awesome and the XML re-indent tool has been a real life saver and speeds up fixing messed up CSS sheets and other XML coding.

The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
