ABAP Function List in Notepad++

Hi, everyone!

How many times either for one reason or another I play us to edit or revise code offline and if the Syntax Highlighting recognition is fantastic (please visit the post of Manish Kumar for add that feature ABAP Syntax Highlighting in Notepad++ Part 2)

But sometimes you need to edit quickly in Notepad ++ and you are missing one of the useful features …. The function List.

Function List Panel is a zone to display all the function (or method) find in current file. User can use Function List Panel to access to a function definition quickly by double clicking function item on the list.

Ok, friends hope you like it and to get down to work.

1-Add the feature Syntax Highlighting for ABAP

please visit the post of Manish Kumar for add that feature ABAP Syntax Highlighting in Notepad++ Part 2

2-File to Modify

To make Notepad++ recognize ABAP function lists, we need to modify the file:

C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\functionList.xml

3-XML Nodes

Add to Node <associationMap> the entrie

and then add to node <parsers>

this part of code is in the attachment file

4-Save,Reset the application & enjoy!

Any comments or improvement is welcome
