Is there any keyboard shortcut for reloading files in n++ ? How can i configure my own?
Steps to reproduce:
If you want what's in the Notepad++ tab and would not want to be overwritten as you do not want to lose it? simply click No and create a new copy of this file, else click Yes and the file will be refreshed in the tab.
right-click the file tab and click reload.
What ctrl-d does: It selects the next occurence of the current selection as added multiselection. You can use it to very quickly rename variables. In Notepad++ you have to use the mouse, which is much slower, or the replace function.
Steps for mapping a keyboard shortcut for reloading files in n++.
Now go to Settings tab >Shortcut mapper
Now here select the first tab which is main menu
You can find the "reload from disk" option under the selected options. Note: Typically this is amongst the top commands, e.g. item #6.
Now all you have to do is to assign an unused shortcut key mapping to it.
Note: If you want to use F5
like in a web-browser, it is better to first remove existing F5 shortcut assigned to "Run..." (close to bottom of main menu)
