Select range of lines in Notepad++ using line numbers 13

In response to a question in this post we proposed the following method to select a range of lines in Notepad++ using the line numbers:

  1. Press Ctrl + G, type the start line and hit Enter to go to the start line.
  2. Then go to the menu, click on Edit and then Begin/End select.
  3. Press again Ctrl + G, and type the end line number and hit Enter to go to it.
  4. Back to the menu, click on Edit and then Begin/End select once more.
    By now you will have your range of lines selected.

So we needed the command to use that would start the control panel from a a terminal window

For Ubuntu 14.04 and newer, which by default are deployed with Unity, we used:

unity-control-center;

For Ubuntu 13.10 and older versions, which were deployed with Gnome 2, we used:

gnome-control-center;

For Fedora 25 with Gnome 3, we used again:

gnome-control-center;
