An updated list of Notepad++ "Easter Eggs" (2024)

Hello, all,

On our forum, I recently saw something about the Easter Eggs fonctionamity of N++, but I can’t remember exactly when and where !

So, I decided to dig into about this non-essential feature !

First, on Net, I found out two main links about N++ Easter Eges :

https://rogeorge.wordpress.com/2016/10/18/notepad-easter-eggs/

And, this one, previously mentionned by @dail :

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/21adc62eed019b8fe5ec8df55809bb2e2322c5a6/PowerEditor/src/Notepad_plus.cpp

However, time passed… and the provided lists are rather out of date. For example the list of Anonymous stops a #154. With N++ v8.6.5, this list increases to #206 !

So, I did some tests are here are the results of my investigations !

First of all, how to get these Easter Eggs ?

Very easily ! Just write a name of a specific Easter Egg, from the one of the lists, below, select it and hit the F1 key

You may also, in a Windows command prompt, type the command :

notepad++ -nosession -qn=, immediately followed with the Easter Eggs’s name. Note that double-quotes are required if this name contain space char(s)

Remark :

If you select the word random, whatever its case, and hit the F1 key, a new tab will open and will display a random Easter Egg
Result would be identical if you enter the command notepad++ -nosession -qn=random

So, I opened a copy of the Notepad v8.6.5 in N++ and I tried to isolate the interesting part containing these hard-coded Easter-Eggs

Not so easy as this part is written in the UTF-16 LE encoding. Luckily, after … some regexes, I succeeded to get a decent text file !

Now, I’m left with some pieces of text that I cannot link to any Easter-Eggs names !

Here is the short list of these texts. May be, some of you will be able to associate each of them with a specific Easter Eggs’s name !

France is bacon.@When I was young my father said to me: "Knowledge is power, Francis Bacon." I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is bacon."@For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two. If I said the quote to someone, "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon", they nodded knowingly. Or someone might say, "Knowledge is power" and I'd finish the quote "France is Bacon" and they wouldn't look at me like I'd said something very odd, but thoughtfully agree. I did ask a teacher what did "Knowledge is power, France is bacon" mean and got a full 10-minute explanation of the "knowledge is power" bit but nothing on "France is bacon". When I prompted further explanation by saying "France is bacon?" in a questioning tone I just got a "yes". At 12 I didn't have the confidence to press it further. I just accepted it as something I'd never understand.@It wasn't until years later I saw it written down that the penny dropped.#JeSuisCharlie : Freedom of expression is like the air we breathe, we don't feel it, until people take it away from us.@For this reason, Je suis Charlie, not because I endorse everything they published, but because I cherish the right to speak out freely without risk even when it offends others.@And no, you cannot just take someone's life for whatever he/she expressed.@Hence this "Je suis Charlie" edition.

Now :

Paste and append, successively, the 3 lists, above, in a new tab
I used the @ character, absent of this complete list, in order to replace the possible line-breaks, in each Easter Egg
Thus, use the following regex S/R, which will show you the text of each Easter Egg in the way it is really displayed :
- SEARCH (?-s)^(.+?)\x20+:\x20\x20|(@)
- REPLACE (?2\r\n:------------------------------------------------------------\r\n$1\r\n)
- Check the Wrap around option
- Select the Regular expression mode
- Click once only on the Reaplace All button

Here you are, enjoy it !

@guy038 - The list is also available on github at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/src/Notepad_plus.cpp

Search the page for static const QuoteParams quotes

This matches all 276 of the current quotes (?-i)^\t\{TEXT$"([^"]*)"$, +QuoteParams::(slow|rapid|speedOfLight) *, (?:true|false), SC_CP_UTF8, (L_[A-Z_]+), TEXT$"(.+)"$ *\},?$

$1 is the author name and the parameter you use with -qn=name or -qn="name" if the name has spaces.
$2 is the speed of ghost typing.
$3 is the language (L_TEXT|L_BASH|L_CPP|L_CSS|L_C|L_SQL)
$4 is the quote or Easter egg

Hello, @mkupper and All,

As usual, I’m trying to re-invent the wheel, my bad !

So, @mkupper, many thanks for pointing me in the right direction and also for providing a nice regex S/R :

I noticed one oddity :

The command notepad++.exe -nosession -qn="Mosher's Law of Software Engineering" works nice
However, selecting the Mosher's Law of Software Engineering string, from within N++, and hitting on the F1 key, does not work at all

Just a curiosity !

Finally, the list of unclear texts becomes :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Etc.(Abb.) End of Thinking Capacity.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~3 men are on a boat. They have 4 cigarettes, but nothing to light them with.So they throw a cigarette overboard and the whole boat becomes a cigarette lighter.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I'll buy a second iPhone 5 and buy a lot of iOS applications so that Apple will be able to buy Samsung (this sh*tty company)\nto shut it down and all the Apple haters will be forced to have an iPhone. Muhahaha...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Q: What's the difference between git and github?A: It's the difference between p*rn and p*rnhub.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s what I got from the Notepad++.exe file v8.6.5 itself ! It seemed embedded in the section relative to Easter Eggs ??

So, here is an updated list of all the Easter Eggs of N++ v8.6.7, in this post and the next two :

@guy038

You can use -qn="Mosher's Law of Software Engineering" from the command line and it works.

The reason it fails when trying to activate it via F1 is because Mosher's Law of Software Engineering is 36 characters long. The F1 key handler has room for a 32 character author name. If the selection length then the code does the usual About dialog box if the selection is more than 32 characters.

While tracking that one down I discovered that Notepad++ used to have an Easter egg that you would like. In some previous version if you had the file EasterEggs.xml in your Notepad++ folder and you used the author name Get them all!!! then you would see all of the Easter eggs. At some point that code was stubbed out. I don’t know github well enough to figure out versions of Notepad++ where Get them all!!! would have worked.

This has been posted to github - https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/15170

Hi, @mkupper and All,

Searching on NET, I saw that putting a zero-length file, named noEasterEggs.xml, in your active N++ directory, prevents from displaying these Easter Eggs from within Noptead++ !

Note that, in this case, selecting the whole Easter Egg’s name and hitting the F1 key will not produce any action, too !

But, as soon as you select a part of the Easter Egg’s name, hitting the F1 key does act as the default N++ behaviour

Remark :

Even if the noEasterEggs.xml file is present in the N++ directory, you still can display these Easter Eggs from Command Line with the command : Notepad++ -nosession -qn="<Easter Egg name>"

Best Regards,

guuy038

@guy038 said in An updated list of Notepad++ "Easter Eggs":

Searching on NET, I saw that putting a zero-length file, named noEasterEggs.xml

You mean this file, described in the User Manual? ;-)

Hmm… The User Manual does describe the -qn command line argument, but doesn’t describe how to get the Easter Egg to appear when using F1 / ? > About Notepad++ … I guess I should add that. Ah… I’ll ~~probably~~ do it on the Ghost Typing page.

Update: done (you may have to force-reload to get your browser to not use the cached version) – I put the links to the specific page in the source code, and to this topic, in a “spoiler” section, so that people who want the fun of searching the source code themselves won’t have that fun spoiled. And I put in a paragraph about select-then-F1 to explain how to see them without the command-line option. (And I linked the noEasterEgg.xml paragraph to the command-line and ghost-typing pages.)

@PeterJones & @guy038 - I’m sorry, the name EasterEggs.xml was a mistaken assumption on my part. I got lost in npp’s negative path not taken logic and so made the incorrect assumption that at some point the file name used to be EasterEggs.xml and that as part of making showAllQuotes() a stub that the name was changed to noEasterEggs.xml. Now I see that it’s also possible that showAllQuotes() was never filled in with code.

Npp’s getQuoteIndexFrom() function translates from an author name to a zero to N-1 index in the quotes table. I saw that it special cases the author name Get them all!!! and returns an index of -2. It also special cases the name random and returns a random index value. If the name is not found in the list of quotes then it returns -1.

Npp’s IDM_ABOUT or F1 key handler gets the length of the current selection and if it’s between 1 and 32 it gets the selection text calls getQuoteIndexFrom() with the text it found. As Mosher's Law of Software Engineering is 36 characters long the IDM_ABOUT is not is not checking that string as a potential author name.

The IDM_ABOUT handler looks at the index from getQuoteIndexFrom() and:

If the index is -1 then it shows the About dialog meaning the selection did not not match one of the author names.
If the index is -2 AND noEasterEggs.xml does NOT exist then showAllQuotes() is called.
If the index is NOT -1 AND noEasterEggs.xml does NOT exist then the quote based in the index value is displayed…

Npp’s showAllQuotes() function is a stub

void Notepad_plus::showAllQuotes() const{}

As that stub only needed two or three lines of code to make it work I made the assumption that at some point the number of quotes grew to the point that showing all of them was too much of a blast of new-tabs, each with a quote spooling out and so the code was removed.

FWIW, the code that handles the -qn command line parameter is a bit different than the IDM_ABOUT or F1 key handler. It shows a quote if the index returned by getQuoteIndexFrom() is NOT -1. Fortunately, the showQuoteFromIndex() function double checks that the index is zero to N-1 where N is the number of quotes in the table. This means that while the name random works with -qn the name Get them all!!! which is index -2 gets ignored. As the -qn code does not care about the length of the name the 36 character name Mosher's Law of Software Engineering works with -qn.

Npp’s code makes frequent use of hard coded values, negative logic, and path not taken style of coding. It keeps you on your toes.

@mkupper said in An updated list of Notepad++ "Easter Eggs":

Npp’s code makes frequent use of hard coded values, negative logic, and path not taken style of coding. It keeps you on your toes.

You state this like it is overall a “bad thing”. IMO, it in general is very typical code for its time.

I’ll not agree with “frequent use of hard-coded values”, generally. The case you’re discussing, though, may be an exception with its introduction of -2. The use of -1 is fairly typical, though. I’m not a fan of it, as it often makes things “awkward”, but I did just use it myself in the code that returns the color id of a tab (where -1 signifies “no color”).

For use of “negative logic” and “path not taken”, I can’t comment unless some specific examples are given, but again I think N++ code is pretty typical of most code of its era in this regard.
