Notepad++ (NppExec) Column Padding Script
Notepad++ (NppExec) Column Padding Script
To any programmers out there who like to keep their source code neat & tidy!
Instead of spamming the space bar to fill the remaining columns on a line to maintain formatting consistency across all text editors, you can use this script instead which will automatically fill the remaining columns with a padding character of your choice. The script will only fill to the specified column # that you set within the script (default: 25).
This script uses windows messaging to communicate directly with the Scintilla control so each operation is processed fast without any noticeable delay that could normally be problematic with user input. I set it up this way so that it could be assigned a hotkey and used just like any other built-in Notepad++ operation.
Anyways, thank you and I hope this script is as useful to you as it is to me :)
Note: This requires the 'NppExec' plugin for Notepad++ which can be downloaded via the plugins manager in the text editor itself, or you can download the plugin directly from SourceForge for manual installation.
