Today’s Question & Answer session comes to us courtesy of SuperUser—a subdivision of Stack Exchange, a community-driven grouping of Q&A web sites.
The Question
SuperUser reader doon wants to know if there is a way to switch between tabs in Notepad++ using the number keys:
Notepad++ supports either switching between the most recently used tabs or adjacent tabs (depending on Notepad++’s configuration). I was hoping to switch between tabs using Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. just as I do with Google Chrome.
This functionality does not seem to be supported natively in Notepad++, but I was wondering if there are any plugins or add-ons that may support this. Is there a different notepad application that does? I need to use this a lot in my work. Thanks for any answers.
Is there a way for doon to have easy tab-switching using the number keys in Notepad++?
The Answer
SuperUser contributor tchester has the answer for us:
Notepad++ supports switching between tabs via Ctrl + Number Pad Key combinations rather than using the top level (row) number keys.
