Notepad++ Shortcut for Find All in All Opened Documents

Question

How can I create a Notepad++ shortcut that launches Find All in All Opened Documents giving the selected text as a parameter?

In other words, after a text is selected, the shortcut should perform Ctrl+F and Alt+O, then open the Search Result Window for the selected text.

I tried to create a macro but it passes as parameter the specific text used to record the macro -> useless.

Answer 1

Press Ctrl + F, and then click "Find All in All Opened Documents"

Alternatively,Press Ctrl + F then you can press Alt + O (as the 'O' is underlined).

Answer 2

I think currently there is no way to create a shortcut for "find all" in notepad++.

But here is another way you can try:

Download and install AUTOHOTKEY, copy follow code into a .ahk file

F2::
Send ^f
Send !o

Execute it, then you can use "F2" to operate find all in opened document.

1. you can replace "F2" to any other key you prefer.
2. ^f mean Ctrl+f
3. !o mean Alt+o
