    First of all thank you very much for this fantastic source code editor!
    After many hours working with this editor professionally and @ home, i would like to request a little feature. When i am programming in VHDL, i always compile using the NPPExec plugin. This function is extremely usefull, but misses one little thing i would like to see added.
    When i execute a command, i would be even more handy to can fill in the current filename automatic. Like for example:
    vcom coder.vhd would be replaced by: vcom %currentfilename%

    Is this possible?

    Also one other little thing that would be great is an automatic hide off the console dialog? And i think i have discouvered a little bug. When hiding notepadd++, then editing a file wich is opened in the minimized notepad++ by an external editor, notepad++ unmaximizes itself when switching back to it.

      Also you can type "help" in the NppExec's Console to see all possible internal commands and variables.

      > automatic hide off the console dialog
      Currently there is no such possibility. It must be implemented in Notepad++'s general docking engine.

      Woops...after a second search i found that $(File_name) solves my problem for the execute command, and that feature requests and bug reports aren't appreciated in here.

      Sorry...
