i concider switching from SciTE to Notepad++ due to the plus in functionality and ease of use. But there a few questions / issues. Maybe some dev can answer me if there is a solution.
Thanks in Advanced
1. External Program (Compiler not dockable)
In Scite the output of an external CLI program can be docked. Prossible with notepad++?
2. External Programm not per Lang definition
In SciTE external programs are per language. This is very handy because if you use this regularly than one bound the external command to the same shortcut for each language. E.g. compile always using "F7"
3. Wrap Symbol only at End
I found the option to display wrapping symbol. In SciTE this can be shown on line beginn too. Possible with notepad++?
4. End of Line Definition
In the option dialog i found the possibility to display a vertical delimiter. What is the delimiter for word wrap and can this be synced?
5. Function Completion automatically
In SciTE one can configure Function completion to show up "as you type". Planned feature for > v.4.0 ?
6. User Defined Shortcuts don't override global
I defined a shortcut for calling an external app but unfortunately it don't overrides the global shortcuts. E.g. Assigning F1 to "hh.exe c:\program files\nsis\nsis.chm" won't show up the help but the about screen instead.
7. Open HTML Helpfiles for context help
I dunno how but SciTE provides a way to call a chm Help file topic for the highlighted word. Any idea howto do in Notepad++

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
About questions 1 and 2:
(1) soon there will be a new plugin, NppExec, which allows to run multiple commands one by one and to view their output in the docked window.
(2) These multiple commands can be saved as "scripts" - so all you need is to select a right script corresponding to current program language.
The plugin is almost ready, but there are some things to be fixed.

Well, it's almost ready... about 95%, I think. I can send it to you or upload it somewhere (if you tell me where).
About questions 1 and 2:

(2) These multiple commands can be saved as "scripts" - so all you need is to select a right script corresponding to current program language.

I'm really looking forward to that plugin...
when is it planned ?
if we can beta test it provide a link...
thanks in advance
