Integrate FormatCode Into TextPad

Format Source Code within TextPad

The following instructions allow you to format source code files in TextPad Text Editor using FormatCode command line tool. We used a free trial version of TextPad Version 4.7.3, so if you use an older or even a newer version then several screenshots or menu items may differ from our description.

Add a Tool Menu that will invoke FormatCode

1. Click "Configure" -> "Preferences...".

2. Click the "Tools" tree item.

3. Click "Add" -> "Program...". Select the FormatCode.exe executable program (Assuming you installed FormatCode in C:\Program Files\FormatCode\).

4. Click "Apply" to save settings.

Add a keymapping so you can invoke FormatCode using Ctrl+Alt+T

1. Click the "Keyboard" tree item.

2. In the "Categories" box select "Tools", scroll the "Commands" box and select "FormatCode".

3. Press Ctrl+Alt+T or other new keys as keymapping, then click "Assign".

4. Click "OK" to save settings.

You may now invoke FormatCode command line tool by two ways:

1. Using Ctrl+Alt+T

2. By clicking "Tools" -> "FormatCode".

With FormatCode Code Formatters, you can format and transform any foreign source code to meet your favourite coding style within TextPad source editor in several seconds!
