First, I created my UDL, and gave it three keywords: thisKeywordIsJustSixWordsLong and itsChristmasAtGroundZero in group 1, and grapefruitDiet in group 2 Let’s start with the simpler situation, where I want a “weirdAl” filetype with the extension. Get everything working without that weird naming convention first, before trying the complicated multi-level extensions. The auto-completion selected should be based on the active Language-menu selection (the syntax highlighter selected).įor getting it to work for you: First, the *.config.txt is adding complication. Yes, I googled for it before posting :), with not much , Is there perhaps a way to check logs of NP++ to see what might have gone so wrong?)

(Interesting enough, if I rename my autocomplete file to txt.xml, no autocompletion works at all, I mean it gets broken for other languages, too. What do I need to do to have NP++ use my autocomplete XML for a specific file name or file name pattern?

I have a very basic autocomplete (with a single keyword for testing), in which I entered the same name for the language that I specified for the UDL file. For the syntax highlighting part, I managed to create my user defined syntax, and it recognizes files named “config.txt” (although it does not recognizes “”).

Specifically, I want to to apply an autocomplete file for files named “config.txt” (and, possibly, “*.config.txt”). I’m really new to Notepad++'s autocomplete, and I cannot figure out how NP++ selects which autocomplete file to use.
