    Hi,

    is there any function like CTRL+G but for a column?

    if not is out there any free editor that has got such feature?

    Thank you.

      I don't think so, but I could be wrong.  There's a list of shortcut keys at http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm, but more may have been added since that was written.

      Remember that the current column is displayed at the bottom of the window, but I guess in your case you want this because you're editing a very wide file?

      Other options:
      - if you always want to go to a particular column, you could record a macro.
      - if you always want to go to a particular column, you could set the "vertical edge setting".  That will display a vertical line in the column you specify, making it easier to find manually.  It's in Settings/Preferences/Edit Components.

        Hi,

        of course I went through shortcuts.

        I need that beause I am editing input file and I need to go quickly to different columns like 329,1445 etc.

        So I cannot use vertical edge settins as I didn't get how to add more than one column set up.

        And I do not know how to set set up such macro. Besides I have to use portable version of Notepad++ because I cannot install the program. But it is a good idea to use macro though. hm but what if you need more and more different columns in the future?

        thank you
