UserListGotoLine

Searches the current buffer for lines of interest in Notepad++ and shows a user list that will goto to the line of the selected item.

The main list can have these items:

any word style 0
bookmarks
change history >
codes
codes extended
codes uppercase
comments
comments block
comments doc
comments docline
comments nested
comments reminder
current char style 0
current selection
current selection style 0
current word
current word style 0
folds
log
log error
log fatal
log timestamp
log warn
marks >

Some items may not be shown if no selection exists, Change History is turned off, ...

Items ending with > opens a 2nd list.

  • List comment nested document lines and goto selected line.
    • Setup for D.
• comments reminder
  • List lines containing debug:, reminder:, todo: in line comments and goto selected line.
    • Lines of code with end of line comments can be in the list.
• current char style 0
  • List lines that match current char in the detected style number and goto selected line.
• current selection
  • List lines that match selection and goto selected line.
• current selection style 0
  • List lines that match selection in the detected style number and goto selected line.
    • Must be word characters matched by re.match ^\w+$ so can be part of a word.
    • Added provided it has good use though could change to improve or be removed if it has issues.
• current word
  • List lines that match current word and goto selected line.
• current word style 0
  • List lines that match current word in the detected style number and goto selected line.
• folds
  • List fold lines and goto selected line.
• log
  • List lines containing error, fatal and warn word variants and goto selected line.
    • Files of the type .log are recognized.
• log error
  • List lines containing word error variants and goto selected line.
• log fatal
  • List lines containing word fatal and goto selected line.
• log timestamp
  • List lines with timestamps and goto selected line.
    • Language text with .LOG on first line which causes Notepad.exe to auto-insert timestamps.
    • If timestamp format re pattern is unspecified in __init__, then the next non-empty line will be read to create a re pattern.
    • The created re pattern will detect lines with only a timestamp, though specifying a re pattern will let the user decide the conditions.
    • View DotLogTimestamp.py source to use .LOG with Notepad++ using the PythonScript plugin.
• log warn
  • List lines containing word warn variants and goto selected line.
• marks >
  • List lines containing a mark indicator and goto selected line.
    • Opens a 2nd list:
      • find
        • List marks set by the Mark dialog.
      • incremental
        • List marks with incremental search and select highlight all.
      • smart
        • List marks set by double clicking a word to smart highlight matching words.
      • token 1
      • token 2
      • token 3
      • token 4
      • token 5
        • List marks set by Search -> Style ...

The same format is used for the other lists. The integers on the left are line numbers. The remainder is the line text.

Items like bookmarks, change history, ... where style detection is not required can work for any language.

Note that Notepad++ >= v8.7.6 will style the whole document by default rather than the previous setting of style only of what is shown. Scrolling in later versions may not be needed initially to style the whole document.

Searching by default is case sensitive unless overridden. So current word search for WORD will find WORD and will not find word.

Selections other than a main stream selection are not currently handled so attempts at using other selection types may show undesirable results.

Lines of text added to the list will be maximum 120 characters so long lines may look incomplete. Passing a parameter to the existing called class named UserListGL() like for example

        user_list_gl = UserListGL(150)

will increase the maximum to 150 characters.

PythonScript plugin:

• v3.0.21.0 tested as OK.
• v2.1.0.0 tested and seems OK.
• v2.0.0.0 is not supported as it is missing some needed functions.
