How to run the currently opened file from Notepad++ in it's default application?
default, notepad++
Solution
Actually, found my own solution.
Adding a new "Run..." command does the trick!
Instructions:
- Click the Menu "Run -> Run..." (or alternatively hit F5)
- Enter "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" in the field (without quotes)
- Click "Save..."
- Give it a name (ex: "Run in Default App")
- OPTIONAL: Assign it a Keyboard Shortcut (ex: CTRL+SHIFT+F5)
Enjoy!
Problem
I'm editing JSFL files, and I would like to quickly run those after I save them. Is it possible to configure Notepad++ to use a Keyboard Shortcut to open the current file (being edited) in it's default application? (In this case Adobe Flash Pro CS6). If it's possible to have a Run command that is generic enough to work as a "Run in Default Application" action as opposed to having to configure each individual file-types to their respective default Application, that would be the best solution. Any ideas?
