Notepad++ Function List for Informix 4GL

For the past several years, I’ve found Notepad++ helpful to use when I have to tweak legacy 4gl code from a Windows platform. Even though it is a text editor, the workplace panel and the function list panel can be configured with xml settings file to present an IDE like look and feel.

In Notepad++, the function list panel can be configured to access a function definition quickly by clicking the function definition in the list. The location of this file can be found in %APPDATA%\notepad++\ as specified in https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/function-list/

Notepad++ came preconfigured with parsers for 50+ languages but Genero 4gl was not present in the main version. I’ve updated the function list file with a parser for 4gl that can be updated on the Notepad++ site.

The file is available on github at https://github.com/tdean1991/4gl_functionList
