Simple Notepad++ plug-in that selects the text in quotes. It uses the Scintilla lexers Notepad++ is based on to determine what "quoted text" is. If no quoted text is found, the current word is selected.
Download the lastest version from https://github.com/ffes/selectquotedtext/releases
and copy SelectQuotedText.dll in the plugins/SelectQuotedText directory.
Then (re)start Notepad++.
When the cursor is in a quoted text, press Alt+' to select that text.
You can adjust the hotkey in Settings, Shortcut Mapper, Plugin commands.
-
In C and C++ the string
L"Text"is not selected properly. -
In Python a text between triple quotes is not selected properly.
-
In HTML a URL in quotes is recognized as URL (it is underlined and clickable) by the lexer and therefore the plug-in will just select the current word.
