In order to be faster and adapt to your personal habits, we can set up a series of notepad++, of course, with a lot of plugins that provide strong support for it.

The following are some of the beautification and functional optimizations and additions to the interface.

Theme

The current mainstream text editor or integrated development environment is mostly white background, black non-width font, notepad++ default is the same.
Believe that people who work in front of the computer for a long time can not stand the white background and high-contrast black words, which is an absolute abuse of the eyes. First change the background, in this respect notepad++ do very good, this is also choose it to build the IDE, in the main interface "Settings" menu has "language formatting", open after the top can choose the theme, notepad++ bring a lot of themes, and there are many excellent, I chose black Board as a theme, so that when you hit the code with the "Language" menu to choose the language you want to knock, there is a black background plus code highlighting, different colors to distinguish functions, variables, text.

Font

In addition, the font can be modified here, I went to the Internet to download the installation of MONACO this MacOS font and check the global application, download link for Http://www.gringod.com/wp-upload/MONACO. TTF, the code immediately from the angular zigzag around to become smooth and clear to this point, the general editor of the art editor.

Complete automatic indentation, parenthesis quotation mark Auto-completion and code auto-Complete is also by downloading the installation plug-ins, respectively, is nppautoindent, Xbrackets Lite and Ccompletion, after the installation of a simple plug-in settings on the line, here do not repeat. The code completion can also be checked in the "Backup and AutoComplete" option in the "Settings" menu "preferences", it is recommended to tick "word autocomplete", so that notepad++ will automatically fill in the words that have been entered, including functions and variables, although there is no visual Assist X, Code Blocks,cfree and some other Ides are doing well, but it's not good.
