Basically, yes, but with a prompt. Notepad++ will prompt you that a loaded file has changed and do you want to update it. ST2 will just load the file as soon as it realizes the file has changed.

The NP++ behaviour is ideal and a feature I use a lot. Unless something has changed very recently in ST2, there is no way to duplicate this behaviour. I believe there are some circumstances where ST2 will prompt you. IIRC if the file name has changed, but this is only part of the problem for me.

I, on the other hand, think that the ST behavior is ideal and Notepad++ is full of unneeded dialog boxes.

My favorite example is to use Zen Coding in both.

It only reloads if you haven't made any changes to the file and you can disable it with plugins

You could undo the reload.
