I didn’t say it was simple.
Maybe I misunderstand, which may be the case for others as well, so I’ll keep this going.
So you start up Notepad++ and it loads this plugin.
Then if you do things on your PC that would normally fire up Notepad.exe, it will instead switch to Notepad++ and do whatever it was going to do, in a Notepad++ tab?
I’ve seen registry edits that do this on a permanent basis.
And Notepad++ has some builtins to be run as a “Notepad.exe replacement”.
But I just wonder about the use-cases for having a plugin sitting there watching for this kind of thing, while Notepad++ is already running.
Maybe I just miss the point.
