Does anyone have a Notepad++ plugin that will generate UUIDs and insert them

Question

I Often need UUIDs inserted into files that I\'m editing in Notepad++. Does anyone have a macro or add in that does this. Or an autohotkey script?

Answer 1

Install the GhNppExec plugin from Plugin Central, then configure to run the simple Python script below.

Use the shortcut mapper to assign a key combination to the plugin command.

import uuid
import sys

# make a random UUID
sys.stdout.write(str(uuid.uuid4()).upper())
