    is there a way to set notepad++ to automatically suggest the first line of a file as the name when you first save the file?

    thanks,
    Dave

      Nope, most features of Notepad++ are an aid for programming, and as such it isn't targeted for wordproccessing (though you can write text with it, ofcourse =]). Usually the first line of a file isnt its title (atleast not in my experience and probably of many other people, can't say for sure ofcourse).

      I've been using TED Notepad for making small notes throughout the day, and having the ability to save the first line as the title saves time.  It only suggests that on the first save.

      Lately I've gotten into autohotkey and found that notepad++ really helps keeping track of all the brackets, so I was just wondering if I could use it for both uses...

      Thanks for letting me know...

      Dave, you might want to have a look at PSPad. It has your autosuggest feature, a user highlighter for AutoHotkey, highlights matching brackets, ... you name it: http://www.pspad.com
