If the mouse is used there is more flexibility: an item from the grid that is double-clicked will be inserted. If input focus is moved to a line in the Character Panel and Enter is pressed, the character from the Character column will be inserted at the current position in the document being edited. This panel contains a grid-like control that has five columns: Value, Hex, Character, HTML Number and HTML Code. (This is a bit of a misnomer since ASCII is defined as values 0 - 127 and the panel shows values in the range 0 - 255.) When opened, the Character Panel will be by default a docked window on the right-hand side of the Notepad++ main window, entitled ASCII Codes Insertion Panel. The Character Panel, accessed through the Edit > Character Panel menu entry, allows the user to interact with the first 256 characters in the active Encoding or Character set. The cloned document is the same document as its original one, but with the separated views. Once you’ve got 2 views, you can move files between 2 views by drag-and-dropping.ĭrag and drop any tab that you want to clone (or right click on the tab) then choose “Clone to Other View” command from the popup context menu. To create Dual View, drag and drop any tab that you want it to be in another view (or right click on the tab) then choose “Move to Other View” command from the popup context menu. Whether or not you can use Multi-Editing mode is determined by the Settings > Preferences > Editing > ☑ Enable Multi-Editing (Ctrl+Mouse click/selection checkbox: with it checkmarked, Ctrl+Click will add caret locations with it not checkmarked, Multi-Editing is disabled. This allows performing the same editing actions (typing, copy/cut/paste/delete, arrowing through the text) in multiple locations, even if they aren’t lined up in a nice column, or even if there are lines between the carets that you don’t want to affect. Multi-Editing mode allows you to make multiple caret selections by using Ctrl+Click for each additional caret. (Example: to get F- 1F, column-select 17 rows and set the initial number to 15 – it will not allow F.) Note: that the numerical boxes above are always in decimal, even if a different format is chosen for display.
