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.
