Can Notepad++ have bundles in it like Intype i really like Notepad++ but if it has bundles it will be the best text editor around without competition .
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I think there is already a QuickText plugin which does this. And autocompletion lists can be tweaked quite further than the NP++ docs discloses - of course, you have to send Scintilla a bunch of config messages, and revel in the jargon of the Scintilla docs. So... what is the benefit of the extra layer?
Granted when 5.5 is released with multiple selection available, and QuickText upgrades to take advantage of it, thn we can have some real fun.

It doesn't, at the moment. However, it's a great idea for a plugin. Suggest it on IdeaTorrent (in the hosted apps menu), and I'll +1 it.
Just for those that don't know... an "Intype bundle" (as far as I can see) is basically a predefined piece of text, that will be entered when a keyword is entered followed by tab. The bundles are dependant on language. The cursor and highlighted can be customised.
So, in javascript mode, if you type "fun", then press tab, you get
function function_name(first_argument) {
return true;
} // End of function_name
with function_name being highlighted, ready to type over it.
