Description of the Issue
In Notepad++, I often need to open a new document to take notes while someone else is able to see the contents of my monitor. For privacy reasons, I don't want them to see my other documents when I launch NPP. It would be very helpful to have the option to launch NPP with a new, blank document, but without having to forgo all of my other session information. I have seen some workarounds for this problem, but I think many people could benefit from having a native feature to address this situation. Many thanks for reading and considering my request. Additionally, as I work in HR, I often take recruitment phone calls and record candidate information in NPP. Since I am not always working in NPP, this feature would be helpful in that I don't have to waste time with an extra keystroke.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Launch NPP
- If "Remember current session for next launch" is checked, display most recently used file(s)
- All documents from the previous session are opened, potentially revealing sensitive/confidential information to all (not a desired outcome!)
- <GASP!> and quickly press CTRL+N to hide potentially sensitive/confidential information from being revealed to others.
Expected Behavior
- Launch NPP
- With the proposed option, a setting will enable NPP to open a new, blank document which has the focus, and also allow "Remember current session for next launch" to function as it currently does.
- Experience no stress because sensitive information has not been revealed!
Actual Behavior (This is what happens to me)
- Launch NPP
- All documents from my previous session are opened, revealing sensitive/confidential information to all.
- I quickly press CTRL+N - but it's too late. I experience tremendous embarrassment and stress.
- I make a feature request on github, pleading my case.
