Notepad++ Shortcuts Cheat Sheet

Notepad++ is a powerhouse for developers and writers, largely due to its extensive keyboard shortcuts. However, remembering hundreds of combinations is impossible. This tool serves as an interactive, searchable database designed to speed up your coding workflow. Whether you are manipulating lines, folding code, or performing multi-line editing, finding the right key combination instantly can save hours of cumulative time.

This tool organizes shortcuts into logical categories such as File Management, Editing, Search, and View operations. It is optimized for the latest version of Notepad++, focusing on the default key mappings used on Windows systems.

Using shortcuts efficiently relies on muscle memory. The logic of key mapping in Notepad++ often follows standard Windows conventions but extends them for code-specific tasks.

• Step 1. Identify the intent (e.g., 'Move line up').
• Step 2. Consult the Search tool below filtering by 'Line Operations'.
• Step 3. Execute Ctrl + Shift + Up.

Efficient usage reduces reliance on the mouse, keeping your hands on the home row.
