<h1>Introduction</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This
|
||
|
|
document assumes that you have an English install of Notepad++. If
|
||
|
|
you have installed it in another language, the commands and options
|
||
|
|
will probably have been translated into your native language. In that
|
||
|
|
case, find the command with the similar name, the logical grouping
|
||
|
|
will still be the same.
|
||
|
|
p>All the images used in this helpfile assume the default settings.
|
||
|
|
If you change any of these settings, you'll have to look for the other
|
||
|
|
image instead, this is most noticable with the toolbar (the position of
|
||
|
|
images will always remain the same).
|
||
|
|
<p>Also,
|
||
|
|
when talking about the left and right mouse buttons, the logical left
|
||
|
|
and right is meant. These are the same as the physical left and right
|
||
|
|
mouse buttons in the case of a right-handed setup. However, if you
|
||
|
|
have a left-handed setup you will probably have the buttons swapped
|
||
|
|
so act accordingly. This means in general you do what you normally do
|
||
|
|
for most actions, Notepad++ mostly follows the standard Windows
|
||
|
|
application behavior.
|
||
|
|
<p>Likewise,
|
||
|
|
the layout is discussed as it is displayed in a left-to-right order. On
|
||
|
|
right-to-left systems (such as Hebrew) translated versions of Notepad++
|
||
|
|
can have the display order reversed, adjust accordingly as well.<p>This helpfile uses some markup to distinguish certain interface elements or interaction.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<table border="1">
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>
|
||
|
|
When an option from the menu can be selected (open the menu then select the option), it will look like this:<td><span class="menu_item">Menu->Option</span><br>where an arrow means 'Option' is in a submenu of 'Menu'
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>When a button in the GUI can be pressed, it will be marked like this:<td><span class="button">Button</span>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>Checkboxes can be toggled in on or off mode and are marked like this:<td><span class="checkbox">Checkbox</span>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>Radiobuttons
|
||
|
|
are like checkboxes, but in a single group of radiobuttons only one can
|
||
|
|
be selected. Radiobuttons are marked like this:<td><span class="radio">Radiobutton</span>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>
|
||
|
|
Sometimes
|
||
|
|
labels are used in the GUI to describe an element when they cannot have
|
||
|
|
any text associated with them directly. Labels look like this:
|
||
|
|
<td><span class="label">Label</span>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>Finally, when mouse or keyboard interaction is required, the buttons or keys to press are marked like this:
|
||
|
|
<td><span class="shortcut">Leftmousebutton</span>
|
||
|
|
</table>
|
||
|
|
<p>This
|
||
|
|
markup is based in the default appearance of Microsoft Windows. This
|
||
|
|
can be different on your own system, but the names (text) should always
|
||
|
|
the same. This is especially important on the screenshots. They are
|
||
|
|
only for reference, your appearance of Notepad++ can be quite different.
|
||
|
|
<p>This
|
||
|
|
helpfile is dedicated to the countless lost hours of both people having
|
||
|
|
to search for simple answers, and people having to answer questions
|
||
|
|
that shouldn't have to be asked in the first place. Documentation is
|
||
|
|
always hard to get, good documentation nearly impossible =].
|
||
