Also, while we're discussing "New Files", it's always unnerved me that the default file name is "untitled.txt" instead of merely "untitled".
I did start out with “untitled” but someone complained about that, and I changed it because I didn't care much at that time. I can change it again ;)
[ mode menu ] I usually go to "Text" first and then hop over to "View", but honestly, it doesn't feel at home in either of those menus.
The view menu is for stuff that relates to the view. So I do think it fits quite well -- and given my recent attempts of actually cutting menus, I'm not going to add a new one just for this option ;)
Long term though, I would prefer to have the syntax menu a popup in the status bar instead, that way it's also visible at all times which mode one is in.
