      Hello, Dear Notepad++ Community!
      I would like to propose two functions for Notepad++:

      1. AutoText
        A file like an .ini file, an user editable file with a structure like the following
        [Texts 1]
        W1=word
        W2=This could be a little sentence or a short/long text.
        [left part]=[right part]
        [Texts 2]
        …
        could be assigned somewhere under the Settings/Preferences/ as a source
        for the autotext parts - the [left part] and the [right part] in the above shown structure.
        From this .ini file, Notepad++ could insert content on pressing F3 or another key assigned under Shortcut Mapper.
        The user types “W1”, the cursor stays after the “W1”,
        the user presses “F3” (for example) and the Notepad++ replaces “W1” with “word”.

      2. Window Height & Width & Position control
        The user could define somewhere under Settings/Preferences some parameters which could be called using keys assigned under Shortcut Mapper and control the window of the Notepad++, its height, width and position, make the window stick on the Task bar, on the left, right side or on the top of the Windows Desktop. The height and width could be also declared proportionally to the monitor size and there could be a number of height and width sets which could be activated.
        This function could give some visual stability for the window position especially for users which are using Notepad++ portable and under changing circumstances, different PCs.

        Part 1: There are already some plugins that so what I think you are describing here.

        Part 2: Intriguing. Recently I developed a script that would “maximize” the N++ window across two monitors, which is similar.

          Please tell me, which plugin do you mean.

            I mean mainly not only maximizing but any other position and size of the Notepad++ window.
