Where is the TextFX option?

I have Notepad++ 5.9 installed. The TextFX option (between Run and Plugins) in the menu is visible.

How can I actually get the TextFX plugin?

The plugin is not installed by default, you need to install it.

  1. Go to Plugins → Plugin Manager → Show Plugin Manager.

  2. Check TextFX Characters and click Install.

  3. Confirm the restart.

  4. You'll now have the TextFX menu.

When I try to install TextFx Characters 0.2.6 for Notepad++ v7.3.2 (32-bit) through Plugin Manager, I get an Installation of TextFx Characters failed. error. Is this plugin not compatible with v7+? – Dragomok – 2017-04-27T18:28:31.117

My Plugins menu has no Plugin Manager entry which was fixed via https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/2430#issuecomment-343648788

1I have Notepad++ v7.5.5 (64 bit) installed and added the Plugin Manager there as DaveInCaz explained. But there does not seem to be a TextFX plugin. What can I do to get it? – Matt – 2018-12-12T14:28:36.853
