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
