Does Notepad++ have a minimap feature?
The new version of NP++ (6.0) has document map feature. Go View->Document Map
. Document map or minimap will appear right hand side of the editor
I am not aware of any plugin like that, but Notepad++ has a Function List plugin which lists your function on the side, which helps with navigation a little. Google "Notepad++ function list plugin" for information
If you use only one of Notepad++'s 2 frames (views) at a time, you use this hack:
- Make the splitter between the frames vertical (if horizontal, right-click on the splitter and select Rotate to Left).
- Right-click the tab of the file you wish to edit and select Clone to other view.
- Click the view you wish to make the minimap and do Ctrl + Mousewheel-down until the font size is as small as possible/desired.
- Check View > Synchronize Vertical Scrolling and optionally View > Synchronize Horizontal Scrolling.
Now scrolling either the "minimap" or normal view scrolls the other. Sadly, text selections are not replicated.
