Notepad++ shortcut
If anyone is developing in Notepad++ and tired of dragging their folders onto love.exe to run them, you can create a keyboard shortcut with this handy command. Press F5, and enter exactly this:

Re: Notepad++ shortcut
Thank you!
This really makes testing a lot easier. Before I used bat files for this, but this makes it even easier than before

Re: Notepad++ shortcut
I know this is an old thread but I would like to get this working, I tried the code above but no luck so anyone got any ideas?
Re: Notepad++ shortcut
Well maybe you placed love in a different directory than zapwow, in this case you have to adjust the path. I suggest using the ... button to look for the love.exe and if you have found it, add "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" (including the quote signs and with space between the command and the path to love.exe!) to the end of the input field.
Examples:
Also shortcuts using CTRL do not seem to work (well at least ctrl+space does not for me). You also have to remember that this shortcut only works if you are viewing a file that is placed in the mainfolder.
Examples:
Code: Select all
C:\Programme\LOVE\love.exe "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
C:\Program Files\LOVE\love.exe "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
C:\LOVE\love.exe "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
D:\LOVE\love.exe "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
etc

Re: Notepad++ shortcut
Useful, thanks.
Skasi: I think it is rather that shortcuts that are already in use cannot be assigned. For instance, Ctrl+R works fine, for me at least, but not Ctrl+S. You can see the present shortcuts, or change/remove the ones you added, under settings>shortcut mapper.

Re: Notepad++ shortcut
Better late that never, eh?
If you're running a 64-bit operating system (like me), and you've installed Love to the Program Files (x86) folder (like I did), then you may need to use the following command:
Note the use of "Progra~2" in lieu of "Progra~1".

Re: Notepad++ shortcut
Am I the only Windows user that puts the love dir in the PATH env var so I can type love in the command prompt? It also makes my notepad++ run command:
"love" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
"love" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
