  Yes, im sure this has been asked before, and again, I would agree that this would be a useful feature.

    I would really like this option also. That is my only complaint with Notepad++. I have read many posts on the subject. I understand there are those (programmers) with reasons NOT to have this feature. Is it possible that this could be an optional feature either under Settings or Style Configurator or with a plugin? Not being a programmer, I don't have a more specific suggestion.

  As a developer, I prefer the editor as it is because I am primarily editing the text, not launching it. But choice is good. This is taken from my post in the Help forum:
  
  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

  Joel,
  
  I tried that from one of the other posts. As someone who is always looking for something quicker/easier, that method takes more clicks/keystrokes than the various single-click alternatives out there (or maybe I'm just lazy). Also, this way, the links do not get highlighted to stand out on a page of text.
  
  I certainly appreciate your quick response. Thanks.

  I created yesterday successfully the highlighting of
  
  hyperlinks (http://.....)
  email (mailto:.....)
  
  It will be implemented direct in next version of Notepad++.
  
  Best Regards
