Notepad++ Compare Plugin

Posted by Cotton Rohrscheib on Friday, March 21, 2008 · Comments 

I wasn’t aware this plugin even existed for Notepad++!  This is awesome, I have been using another application altogether to compare side by side files for errors / changes while I code.  The cool thing is that it also works with all of the languages that Notepad++ supports and works with also.  My partner Greg and I both use Notepad++ for simple inline code editing, it’s fast and very clean.  My dream for the Notepad++ project is for them to throw a WYSWYG visual editor onto it (I would completely uninstall and burn my Frontpage / Expression DVD’s).

You can download this compare plugin on SOURCEFORGE. (click here)

    Hi! Have you a list with the shortcuts used by this plugin ? (go to the first difference etc) E.D (Belgium)
  • I don't have that list handy but I will see what I can do and will post it back here if I find anything.

    where should I leave the dll file?
  • user
    Just drag the DLL into the Notepad++/plugins directory
    To use, simply open the two files you wish to compare, click Plugins > Compare > Compare.

    Yea, I use this plug-in too and I agree that it's completely awesome. Like delcroix mentioned in the first comment, a list of shortcuts would be cool. Also, I see these little red square boxes next to some of the lines when I compare. Any idea what that means?
  • No idea, wish I could help tho. I don't use Notepad++ near as much as I once did. Sorry. Thanks for reading tho.
