Setting up a fresh Notepad++ install in 2018

Setup Notepad++ on a machine recently and struggled to remember some of the better plugins/settings.


  • Make sure you install/get the version with NppFTP support
  • Private keys need to be exported in PuTTyGen in OpenSSH format
  • Settings->Preferences->Editing->Multi-Editing -> Enable (Ctrl+Mouse click/selection)
  • Settings->Style Configurator->Theme: ZenBurn
  • Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global Override->Font Name: Consolas
  • Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global Override->Font Size: 14
  • Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global Override->Enable global font
  • Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global Override->Enable global font size

Best Leveling Enchants in WoW Legion/Battle for Azeroth/BfA for BOA items

Melee weapon enchants:

Level 1+ Elemental Force
Level 30-40+ Crusader (if using +str), Mongoose (or stick with ele force!) (i think it's a toss up at this point once health pools start scaling). Around 40 ele force is ~3-5% of your dmg. For agi users Mongoose procs are about 15% more agi each so ~30% if double stacked + the haste.


Caster Weapon Enchant:

Power Torrent
Various +Spell power

Misc. Enchants:

Neck: Gift of Vers
Chest: One of the +Vers
Cloak: Gift of crit
Legs: one of the leg enhancements if you have a high level toon to apply it and mail it back

Adjusting headless resolution on a Raspberry Pi 3

Previously if you were using Raspbian and wanted to boot into a headless 1920x1080p environment for VNC you had to modify a few files like /boot/config.txt and create a bootup entry prior to startx for fbset.

These days simply connect over VNC at the default lower resolution and then simply navigate through Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Click "Set Resolution"
