Open links in Notepad++ with keyboard

notepad

I can open internet links in Notepad++ by double clicking on a link. Is there a way to do this only using keyboard? I mean are there any key board short cuts to achieve this?

Best Answer

Officially, no. At least in Notepad++ 6.1.2

In Settings > Preferences > Misc you have only "Enable Clickable Links" - not a word about keyboard.

In Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Main Menu, Run commands or Scintilla Commands there is no reference to this.

A macro cannot be recorded with this in order to assign a shortcut to this macro.

The "Launch in..." commands send the entire file to the chosen browser.

Of course, if you'll find a suitable plugin to do just that then you're lucky. Install it and assign a shortcut to it.

...but if you're quite extreme you can enable (on Windows) Mouse Keys and use the numeric pad as a mouse, hence you'll have the "left click" on the keyboard.
