    The MRU (Most Recent Used) file list in the file menu always seems to contain the full path, and when it contains a long path the menu gets rather wide, with quite a distance between the menu item and its shortcut. On one occasion I measured 804 pixels between "New" and "Ctrl+N".
    Can't this be compacted? The Windows API provides the PathCompactPath function for this.

      This isn't going to be implemented, but if you're not afraid of compiling Notepad++ yourself, you can try this patch:
