QuickOpen Plugin for notepad++
plugin for notepad++
This plugin mimics the "open selected file" in PSPad. I am a PHP developer and i often see an 'require_once("../this/is/some/file.php");'. In pspad you can select the whole path (../this/is/some/file.php) and open it from the menu. Now you can do the same in notepad++. Just select the whole path and press alt+o, or use the button in the toolbar on top. It will open the file automatically. The plugin understands the relative path. The code is also available on https://bitbucket.org/sgezel/quickopenplugin -

ClashN
A clash client for Windows, support Mihomo
clashN is a Windows desktop client for the Clash networking engine, providing a graphical interface to manage proxies, rules, and profiles. It wraps the Clash core in a familiar, configurable UI so users can import subscriptions, switch nodes, and observe connections without editing YAML by hand. The app emphasizes rule-based routing, letting you combine rule providers and policy groups to steer traffic by domain, process, or destination category. System-wide proxy control, including PAC and TUN/TAP options, helps route applications that don’t natively support proxies. Logs, traffic charts, and connection inspectors make troubleshooting and optimization straightforward. For power users, granular profile editing and hot-reloading reduce the friction of iterating on configurations. -
