In Notepad++, how can I launch my HTML files in Google Chrome through the Run menu?

Solution 1:

If you download the latest version (5.7?), the Run Menu has four different "Launch in browser" menu items (IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari)

Solution 2:

You can edit the link in the run menu by going to the %AppData%\Notepad++ directory and editing the shortcuts.xml file to reference the proper location of Chrome.

<Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">chrome &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command>

Thats what it reads by default

<Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command>

That's what it could read

Type this into the run command box:

%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Solution 3:

Try adding the shortcuts you want in Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Run commands.

Solution 4:

In later verions of Notepad++ (currently 6.6.8) the shortcuts for browsers are not set by default, so one needs to save them first. To do so you can:

• Add them manually from Run menu
• Edit shortcuts.xml file
