A better Arduino IDE - Notepad++

Image
VS Code is the best Arduino IDE Today!(2021-07) Arduino IDE 1.6x has improved a lot over past few versions, such as adding line number, bug fixes, and many other features. However, Arudino IDE still has many miles to go to become a friendly editor for programmers. Syntax highlighting and programming language reference are programmer favorite features. However, they are not that fancy yet on the latest version of Arduino IDE V1.6.3. I've been using Notepad++ (N++) for a while and Notepad++ is one of the most famous programming tools available for free!! Recently, I found josephdouce’s contribution on SourceForge that Joseph developed a N++ plugin for Arduino. Although it’s still in prealpha stage, it looks promising! I would like to show you how to add N++ Arduino plugin into Notepad++ and use it as your editor.
