Hi there,
first off i started using Notepad++ a few weeks ago and i think that this a great tool and i would love to see it reach perfection.
Here's a few things that bug me though:
1) when i create an empty file i cannot safe it until i have entered at least one character. this caused a lot of my code files to be auto indented by one space (typed it in so i could safe) cause i like to specify the filename before starting to write (for the highlighting etc).
2) when Notepad++ realizes that a file had been changed and i select 'reload' then it somehow thinks that i pressed the mouse button and didn't release it yet. when i move the mouse it constantly changes the selection until i get annoyed enough to click somewhere.
3) for the sake of using Notepad++ for more than just code editing it would be useful to bind dynamic word wrapping to the type of file being edited. Or at least to a shortcut (didn't find it in the shortcut mapper list). Ctrl+Shift+W would be a nice shortcut :)
4) occassionally it happens that the working directoy is not set to the location of the document being edited. when i execute a custom command (i wrote a custom meta compiler that works on the working directory) it will thus execute on some other folder. this can usually be fixed by changing the document focus to another and then back again.
I think there was more but i forgot :). Thanks for taking your time and reading this.
Also my thanks go to the programers for writing such a great code editor.

"Redo key-combination -> Use the "Shortcut mapper" available in the Settings menu. On line 106 and 107 you can specify key combinations for UNDO and REDO. "
Ah k, just found it. I thought it wasn't listed. Thx :)

Thanks, i just always forget to erase the space character again because it's just about not visible. After a while and a couple thousand lines later i suddenly find it odd that the home key likes to jump to a different position than i expected...
The auto-indention makes the additional space character almost invisible.
It's not like this was a major change or hard to code or anything. Just a menu enable condition :P
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Btw, would there be a way to alter the key-combination for redo to Ctrl+Shift+Z?
When i press that combination (it's like that in EditPlus, Kate, and a couple other editors i work with). I don't mind the Ctrl+Y but i would very much appreciate an option to customize that shortcut :)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Watch that space character -> Select "Show White Space and Tab" or "Show all characters".
Question to the programmer: will it be possible to choose a custom symbol for white space(s)? I notice the single pixel dot has some difficulty drawing my attention.
Redo key-combination -> Use the "Shortcut mapper" available in the Settings menu. On line 106 and 107 you can specify key combinations for UNDO and REDO.

"2. Fix the bug of the settings "Remember the last operation directory" : this parameter is remembered by acrossing the sessions. "
Whoops. Okay, i think this might solve problem 4 up there :)
ad 1: when creating a new file, type a space and delete it right-away. You can now save the empty file.
