<p dir="auto">If you are going to follow the advice given, you should create one issue per suggestion item.  No one will take you seriously if you jumble a bunch of stuff together in one issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, I’ve read over your list of suggestions.  As a long-time user of Notepad++ (so I think I have somewhat of a grasp of its design), I don’t see a lot of value there (sorry).</p>
<p dir="auto">Here are some additional comments:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">While launching two windows, I want the search tool to switch to the search for the active window.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Not reasonable.  You are talking about multiple <em>instances</em> of Notepad++.  The design is to allow this, but in an independent (and limited) way.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Please add “▲first hit” and “▲last hit” to the search tool.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Presume the second up arrow should be a down.  This is easily achieved by using <em>Find All in Current Document</em> and looking at (and/or jumping to) the first and last line of the results.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">This is a convenient feature that is implemented in other text editors. (screenshot)</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Can’t tell if this is another request for first/last hit, or next/previous hit.  If next/previous, then menu items and hotkeys F3/Shift+F3 already exist for it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">When the search window is active, you must click the editor window once to activate it in order to overwrite the file (Ctrl + s).</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Yes.  Do you understand the concept of “input focus”?  The keys that work when the editor window has focus do not (in general) work when other windows have focus.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Immediately after startup, you cannot create an empty file with “Ctrl + S”.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">This is a fairly common “complaint” and it isn’t a big issue.  I mean, you’re going to put data in fairly soon, right?  If you have to save it like right now immediately, type one character and then you’ll be able to save.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">It would be nice to have a shortcut key to reload the file.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The default is Ctrl+r which is pretty clear from the <em>File</em> menu.</p>

<p dir="auto">You have apparently not understood <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/uid/14479">@Ekopalypse</a>’s link to <a href="https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15741/faq-desk-feature-request-or-bug-report">this FAQ entry</a>, which explains that this forum is not the place to request new features.  If you are asking for changes to the software, we cannot do that in the Forum.  Follow <a href="https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15741/faq-desk-feature-request-or-bug-report">that FAQ entry</a>’s instructions to request a new feature to be added to Notepad++.</p>

<p dir="auto">Too many files open in PHP.</p>
<p dir="auto">In many cases, you will move back and forth between these windows, changing only the parts you need.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you open multiple files in new windows, all windows overlap.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, it is a problem to ignore the window being edited and launch a new window even if it is the same file.</p>
<p dir="auto">I want to use the search tool in common in multiple windows.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, please attach the search history that is common to all windows.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would be nice to have a shortcut key to reload the file.</p>
<p dir="auto">But it turns out to be very good software.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please fix it as we want to continue using it in the future.</p>
