I Often need UUIDs inserted into files that I'm editing in Notepad++. Does anyone have a macro or add in that does this. Or an autohotkey script?

Install the GhNppExec plugin from Plugin Central, then configure to run the simple Python script below.

Use the shortcut mapper to assign a key combination to the plugin command.

import uuid
import sys

# make a random UUID
sys.stdout.write(str(uuid.uuid4()).upper())
