      Let’s say I edit a file at line 1000. If I close it and open it the next time, it will go to the first line. Any method to let it open at line 1000?

        That type of information is not remembered with the file (because the file is purely data, not metadata from use with a text editor). If you leave the file open, however, the N++ session file does remember this between runs of N++, and is what retains the caret position from run to run.

        The short answer to your question is “no”; the longer answer is that Notepad++ has scripting capabilities that could allow a script to be written to meet your desire.
