Basics
Useful Plugins
The following plugins can be useful when using Notepad++ (not just for TUFLOW modelling)! Please feel free to add any suggestions either via the discussion page, or via email to support@tuflow.com.
- npp-compare (compare files side-by-side)
- Runme: Available through the Notepad++ Plugin Manager. This will allow you to run batch files directly from Notepad++.
