I use Notepad++ for energy modeling on a daily basis, with both eQuest and EnergyPlus.

Those two programs have something in common: the input file is text-based, and it's quite long.

I found myself wanting two things: syntax highlighting to be able to quickly see the important keywords while scrolling down, and some kind of navigation pane in order to quickly to selected section of a file.

Code folding could potentially be useful as well

How can you achieve all of that in notepad++?
