Side panels
Panels dock to the left, right or bottom of the documents. Several panels on one side become tabs. Open panels come back on the next start.
| Panel | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Document List | View | The open documents with their paths. Click to show one, middle-click to close it, click a heading to sort. |
| Function List | View | The document’s classes, functions, methods and sections as a tree, for 28 languages including Markdown headings. Follows edits, highlights the definition the caret is in, filters and sorts. |
| Document Map | View | The whole document in miniature in its syntax colors, the visible part framed. Click or drag to scroll. |
| Folder as Workspace | File → Open Folder as Workspace… | Folders as trees, kept current as files come and go. Double-click opens a file. Its menu copies paths, runs Find in Files in a folder, opens the file manager or a terminal. |
| Project 1–3 | View → Project | Projects of folders and files in Notepad++’s .workspace files, so a project opens in both editors. Saved as soon as they change. |
| Clipboard History | Edit | Texts copied in Birchpad and other programs, newest first. Double-click to paste. |
| Character Panel | Edit | The 256 values of the document’s code page with their characters and HTML entities. Double-click to insert. |
| Search results | F7 | See Find and replace. |
A folder dropped on the window or given on the command line opens as a workspace too.
