Removing blank lines (blank paragraphs) in Notepad++:
Many users are faced with the problem of text formatting if text was inserted from Microsoft Word in WordPress. Latest versions WP supports adequate text insertion with proper formatting, but for some reason, when inserting, empty lines (paragraphs) appear, to remove which we will again turn to our favorite editor.
Open a document containing empty lines
Select an item "Edit" -> "Operations with Strings" -> "Remove empty lines"
Move a selection of text within a document
Select the desired part of the document with the mouse cursor, hold down "Ctrl+Shift" and move the selected text inside the document by pressing keys "Up" And "Down".
My favorite text editor. The article will describe all sorts of things that are worth remembering when working with it. Number sorting, keyboard shortcuts, and so on.
CTRL + D – Duplicate the selected code.
Ctrl + F2 – Mark a line with a mark.
F2 – Move to the next marked line.
Shift + F2 – Move to the previous marked line.
Ctrl + J – Merge selected lines into one.
Ctrl + B – Go to the corresponding bracket (closing or opening).
CTRL + Space – Code completion:
Sorting selected rows
Go to TextFX → TextFX Tools → Sort lines case sensitive (at column) .
But this sorting will not sort numbers as numbers - the program will perceive them as strings. To sort numbers, you need to install the plugin:
To do this, copy the contents of the archive into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins.
After this appears in the menu item Plugins → NppColumnSort: 
And now the lines
will be sorted as:
Spell checking
Autocompletion
It was already noted above that the CTRL + Space keys bring up the auto-completion window. But pressing the bottom every time is not convenient. It would be easier for everything to arise on its own. This is done like this:
Options → Settings → Reserve/Auto-Complete. Check the boxes you need:
Special allocations
One of the killer features in Sublime Text 2 is multi-selection. It turns out that it is also available in Notepad++. Go to the program settings Options → Settings → Editing and check the box:
And now if you click Ctrl key, then you can select several text blocks at once (Multiple selection). At the same time, if you do not deselect, then when you start writing, the text will be entered in all selected places:
And while holding Alt, you can make a vertical selection:
Minimap
One of the main “killer features” in Sublime Text 2 is the minimap on the right, which can be used as a slider. It turns out that it is also available in Notepad++.
Go to View → Document Map:
True, it is not as convenient as in Sublime.
Working with projects
If you are working with some kind of project (website, program, etc.), then you usually work with many files in one folder with subfolders. In this case, it is better to work with the project function View → Project → Project Panel 1:
Right-click on the item work area and select Add New project and call it something like:
Now right-click on the project and select the Add files from directory menu item:
Now we have a tree of our files that is easy to navigate and edit. Moreover, not only test files are included here, but also all the others. Of course, you can save the project and add files separately. In general, a convenient thing.
Notebook(English) Notepad) is a simple text editor that is part of operating systems Microsoft Windows

At the top and bottom of a text document printed from the Notepad program, there may be one or another service information that is automatically inserted into the print file. This information is commonly called headers and footers because they are placed above and below the main print area in the document. Accordingly, the data displayed at the top of the sheet is called a header and can be entered from the keyboard using a sequence of special characters in the Header field.

Interesting features
- If you run Notepad with the key command line/.setup, then after launching Notepad will “freeze” - its window will not be drawn, although it will work correctly.
For example, in such a Notepad you can type text blindly and save it to a file on disk.
To exit this stuck notepad, you can use the Esc key or the Ctrl-C combination.
- Cancel in Notepad latest changes in the text, but no more than three.
- If you create text file, write in it the phrase “bill gates fucking asshole (we are all going to die)” or “bush hid the facts (And the authorities are hiding)” or any format “xxxx xxx xxx xxxxx”, and close the file, having previously saved it, then the next time you open the contents file will be replaced with hieroglyphs. That's it! - But it doesn’t work under seven!
Alternatives
- MS-DOS Editor (edit.com) - console text editor. You can divide the editing window into two parts, like in Word.
- Write (Windows Write ; not to be confused with the below Writer from OpenOffice) - standard 16-bit editor Windows versions, which differed from Notepad in the ability to format text.
- WordPad — remake of Write for Windows 95 and subsequent ones. The version distributed in Windows 7 supports not only the traditional RTF/DOC format (Word 6.0) and OOXML (Word 2007), but also - attention! - ODF (OpenOffice).
- Word (WinWord) - the most multifunctional and heaviest of all notebooks known to date.
- AbiWord — a little more functionality than in WordPad: add-ons, headers and footers, tables, page numbering, footnotes, links, bookmarks, insertion of pictures and files, online services.
- Writer - free analogue of Word from the OpenOffice.org package.
- PageMaker - the same notepad, only for web designers.
- T extPad — the same notepad, only with basic code highlighting, regular expressions and other features.
- GEdit - the same notepad, only compiled for GNOME and with additional functions.
- Leafpad - the same notepad, but for Linux.

- Notepad2 — an extended version of Notepad with a toolbar and syntax highlighting.
- EmEditor — the same notepad, only faster, with syntax highlighting and support for different encodings.
- AkelPad - the same notepad, only there is support for encodings and plugins. Also, this option can correctly read and save binary files and therefore, unlike Notepad, can be used as a very primitive hex editor.

And this is not a complete list. In general, the alternatives are a wagon and a small cart :o)
I once used the dreamweaver editor, but when I started designing websites for the WordPress engine, I settled on Notepad++ editor. I'm happy with it.
Today I will tell you about convenient settings in the Notepad++ editor. With these settings you can save a lot of time.
So, if you don't have Notepad++ editor, then you can download it for free.
Fast encodingUTF-8 inHTML document
Every time you create a new HTML document in Notepad++, you constantly need to change the file encoding from ANSI to UTF-8 (without BOM). If you do this constantly, then it takes a lot of time, and it gets boring, and sometimes you can forget.
To ensure that when creating a new HTML document the encoding is automatically UTF-8 (without BOM), you need to do the following:
1). In the top menu, click on the item “Options” => “Settings...”
4). Click on the “Close” button.
After these settings, when creating a new document, your HTML document will immediately have UTF-8 encoding (without BOM). By the way, I recommend reading the article about.
I don’t know about you, but when I create a new html document, I always write , or copy it from others html documents:
