Install the NppExex plugin using the plugin manager, and then press <F6> and paste the following code:



NPP_SAVE
cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
xelatex $(NAME_PART).tex"


and click Save and then type, for example, xelatex

Everytime you want to run xelatex on a file in the future, simply press CTRL+F6. If you have configured multiple scripts, you can select the appropriate one by pressing F6.
