Notepad++ Define Script to Save, Compile and View [Windows 10]
I am able to successfully compile using XeLaTeX and view the resulting PDF in Sumatra with the following run code in Notepad++:
cmd /c cd /d "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" && xelatex.exe "$(FILE_NAME)" & "C:Program Files (x86)SumatraPDFSumatraPDF.exe" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)$(NAME_PART).pdf"
However, I have to manually save the file each time before running the script. Is there an additional command that I can insert at the beginning that saves the .tex file to the current directory? I'm not a programmer, so I'm probably missing something very simple. Here's an MWE for testing purposes:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
section{Notepad++ and LaTeX}
lipsum[3]
end{document}

it's probably not advisable to use--shell-escapeby default.

Alright, the NPP_SAVEALL hint directed me to this question. I downloaded the NppExec plugin, manually extracted it to the plugins folder in Notepad++, and revised the run script to:
NPP_SAVEALL
cmd /c cd /d "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" && xelatex.exe "$(FILE_NAME)" & "C:Program Files (x86)SumatraPDFSumatraPDF.exe" "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)$(NAME_PART).pdf"
Now it works: save, compile and view in one keyboard shortcut! Hope this helps someone else!
