I am new to Notepad++ and beginner in coding.

I am using NP++ v8.5.4 (32-bit). My device:Windows 10. System:64-bit operating system. I am having difficulties:

  1. I want to have 2-screens side-by-side. One side for coding and the other to see result (pics, output of text etc.)
  2. There is no Refresh/Review button, to see the output.

I have tried many ways but without any joy.

I would be most grateful if someone can help.

Thanks in advance Khalid

    Which language are you coding in? You are probably better off using an IDE to code.

    if I'm understand you correctly, my experience has been that if I have a document open in notepad++, and its contents have changed on disk due to another program modifying it, when I next click in the Notepad++ window you will see a dialog message saying something like "the content of this document has changed. would you like to load the latest version?" with yes/no buttons. so if I want to refresh the document I just click yes.

    @FrankThomas I think they want something like jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/live-editing.html (click on the GIF to play it) but NP++ is not an IDE but a text editor.

The refresh command in Notepad++ is found in the menu.

Use menu File > Reload from Disk.

The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+R, but this can be changed via menu Settings > Shortcut Mapper....
