How to go to the bottom of the file on startup in Notepad++

Question

I know this is completely unreasonable feature for a text editor to have, however, when I edit various files, I almost always have to do it at the end of the file.

Is there a feature in Notepad++ that will move the cursor, caret and focus to the bottom of the file?

Or perhaps open Notepad++ with a command-line parameter that forces cursor to the bottom

Answer 1

No. But you have two options:

• Notepad++ is GNU. Get the sources, patch, build.
• Open the file, hit Ctrl+End

Answer 2

If you open files from a shortcut or command line, you can add flags to specify the line number and column to place the cursor, e.g.

"notepad++.exe" -n12 -c34 license.txt

(note no spaces between -n/-c and line/column numbers).

To open the file at the bottom, use a very large line number, e.g.

"notepad++.exe" -n999999 filename
