I have both notepad++ and Cgywin64 installed on Windows 10, they all run correctly, my notepad++ path on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe", and in Cgywin64 is "cgydrive/c/Program\ Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe", I want to input "notepad++ filename", then notepad++ would open the file "filename", just as the "notepad" style - when I input "notepad filename", the editor notepad would open my file "filename", and I can edit in it.

I have tried "$ export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Program Files/Notepad++/" "and "$ export PATH=$PATH:"cgydrive/C/Program Files/Notepad++" " in Cgywin64, they all didn't work, and I could use "notepad++" in CMD of Windows 10.

How to do it? I have searched on the net, while there was no concrete solution for this.

  • My guess is it should be /cygdrive/c instead of /cygdrive/C. (Also not that it's cyg(win), not cgy(win).)

  • Right, thanks for your remind, since I now could run it as I intend to, so I would not try it now.

I found a solution - Install notepad++ again under Cygwin64's bin folder, and type this line each time open Cgywin64:

$ export PATH=$PATH:"/bin/Notepad++"
