      I am currently writing a lexer plugin with the plugin template. Works fine.
      But I don’t need any menu items. But returning no function array, or returning 0 as function number, causes loading of the template to fail.

      Is there a trick to just have a lexer plugin, without defining any menu items?

        As far as I know, no. Npp explicitly checks this and throws an exception if no function is defined. So I would say, use an “About” menu item.
