Whenever I'm doing some coding in Notepad++ i need to add some lines at the bottom so if i scroll down, the code doesn't stop at the bottom at the window. The problem is that I sometimes forget to take out the lines :/.

I need to know if there's some kind of plugin or feature that I may have missed that adds some vertical space at the bottom without being actual lines.

Or I have it all wrong and i should just resize the window?

    Is having a little whitespace really that bad? (Unless you're coding in whitespace, of course, then your program's screwed)

  • What's wrong with the extra few empty lines?

  • This plugin causes infinite hangs in newer versions of Notepad++, apparently due to a conflict between it and the 'clickable links' feature. Disabling clickable links (in the MISC. options) lets the plugin work properly.

There's now (version 7 onwards I think) a setting to enable what you want:

In Settings > Preferences > Editing, select 'Enable scrolling beyond last line'.

Enable scrolling beyond last line settings

What about setting up a macro in Notepad++ ?

Maybe you can record : Ctrl+end, enter, enter, enter, enter etc

Either that or create a batch/shell script that appends blank lines to your file(s)?

Hope this helps

  • @Prozaker Using AHK, you can send some commands directly to the Scintilla component used by NP++. It has an extended (and a bit complex) set of settings for scroll policy that probably allows to do that without changing the text at all.
