I would expect pressing Ctrl+C without having selected anything to copy the whole line where the cursor is. Unfortunately this is not the case.
Is there a way to change this behaviour?
Of course I am aware of how to select a whole line pressing Home+Shift+End or triple-clicking the line and then copying it to clipboard.
But what I want is just pressing Ctrl+C without having selected anything in the line. Why is this default behaviour not implemented in my favorite editor?
Is there a keyboard shortcut to select the entire current line in Notepad++?
there is the answer of your question, seems ctrl+shift+X does the copy line has wish to.

Why do you expect this? As far as I know this is not the default behaviour for any windows application.
Ctrl+C in a Windows application requires a selection of something to be copied.
It is not default behaviour for Notepad++ and the developers chose not to implement this functionality.
You can either make a feature request or download the source code and add this feature yourself.
