It'd be great if Notepad++ had a snippets or bundles type of plugin which would allow to insert snippets from menu, or from a docked panel. Users would be able to add snippets also from the selected text.
The implementation would be similar to how it's done in Intype, which is a very incomplete editor, but it does have that nice feature.
I think this would make Notepad an almost complete IDE.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The QuickText provides a similar, but not very usable implementation. The main problem is that it's hard to remember tags for all different languages. The Intype implementation is much more Open, e.g you get a menu with snippets for each language. So if you want to insert a for loop for Javascript you'd go to Snippets->Javascript->Loops->for var i in etc.

The QuickTexT plugin is very limited, see Intype, e-Texteditor, JEdit, or even Scite Snippets implmented in Lua.
yes, it is that could be very useful
Snippet plugin does exist in v4.1.2.
See Menu Plugins->QuickText

is there any place to download useful snippets for quicktext, moreover can we change the ctrl+enter to tab like in textmate
