Right now I can't close all documents in notepad++, there has to be at least one document window open. If would be nice if I could close all documents, sometimes it helps me center myself and clear my head.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I agree, NotePad++ forces you to have at least one document open and it would be nice to have an empty window with no open documents. I can see why the designer might want to implement it this way, because what's the point of having the program open if you are not working with anything, but I disagree. It's nice to have a blank screen when there is nothing open so you have a starting point, also so you are assured all documents are closed. Plus, nearly every program I've used that can open multiple documents has the ability to stay open with no documents open. It would be nice if the program conformed to what was standard. Can I make this a feature request?

By all means, add a idea on IdeaTorrent.
I can tell you however that it's going to be rather low priority...
Easy fix ... close the application if you don't need a document open.
Anyone else have comments?
It still leaves an empty document called 'new2' in the workspace and that document can't be closed if it's the only open document.
