If you download the latest version (5.7?), the Run Menu has four different "Launch in browser" menu items (IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari)

You can edit the link in the run menu by going to the %AppData%\Notepad++ directory and editing the shortcuts.xml file to reference the proper location of Chrome.

<Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">chrome &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command>

Thats what it reads by default

<Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command>

That's what it could read

Type this into the run command box:

%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Try adding the shortcuts you want in Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Run commands.

I made the shortcut to be Alt + Shift + R and all is working fine.

The same for the other browser shortcuts.
