Installation Instructions

  • Download the zipfile for your 64-bit, 32-bit, or ARM64 configuration
  • Unzip (possibly using Windows Explorer > Right Click > Properties to unblock the zip or DLL)
  • Exit Notepad++
  • Save the HiddenLexers.dll from the zipfile in c:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\HiddenLexers\HiddenLexers.dll
  • Run Notepad++
  • Use Plugins > HiddenLexers > Edit Config File: HiddenLexers.json to open the JSON in Notepad++, and follow the instructions in the repo's README for what each of the fields means. Customize it to your liking: extension to lexer-name, styleID-to-style-info, and keyword lists
  • When you save the HiddenLexers.json in Notepad++, it will automatically update its internal state, so the next time you click in a file with a tracked extension, it should start using the lexer with the colors you define.
