    Hi all,

    I decided to switch to Notepad++ finally, but I'm looking for a feature here.
    Is it possible standard or with some plugin to automatically make links of emails and urls when I open a textfile?
    It would be nice to have them clickable immediately when reading a textfile.

    Thanks

      I created yesterday successfully the highlighting of

      hyperlinks (http://.....)
      email      (mailto:.....)

      It will be implemented direct in next version of Notepad++.

      Best Regards
      Jens

      In the meantime, here's a possible workaround.

      Select "Run > Run..." from the menu.  In the edit box, type (or copy/paste) the following text:

      $(CURRENT_WORD)

      Then click the "Save..." button (not the "Run!" button).  Give this function a name like "Open selection" and select a hot key combination like ctrl-alt-F5.

      Click "OK" to save, then cancel the Run dialog.  Now you have a menu item under the Run menu that you can use to launch your selections with their assigned applications.

      To launch a particular URL in your text, select it and press your hotkey combination or use the menuitem.  --Joel
