Change name of open text file

Question

I currently do this workaround

1. File > Open Containing Folder
2. Hit F2
3. Rename it
4. Reload it in notepad++

I want to make this process faster. Is there a quick way to rename a file currently in your notepad++ window?

If I do Save As, then the old document (with the old name) is still there. I don't want old files hanging around.

Answer 1

You can change the name of open file in notepad++ by

File > Rename...
