That always bothered me too. I don’t use tabs at all any more–I use the Window Manager plugin, which lets me see my open files sorted by name, extension, or file path. You can find it in this list: http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Plugins_By_Category

I figured out how to do this. The below gives the general instructions. I am still learning.

First, establish a project.
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Project_Management.

Next, establish a directory tree in the Workspace/project.

folder_1
-> sub_folder_1

The directory tree folders have got to mirror (have the exact same structure as) the folders on the server.

Download the files from the NppFTP plugin.

The directory tree in the Workspace/project is automatically filled. Click on the Doc Switcher ta at the bottom. In the Doc Switcher area you can see which files have been saved/uploaded and which have not.

You can edit a file. When saved, the file automatically uploads to the server via the NppFTP plugin.

I think this topic can be merged with this one because they refer to the same things:

I guess you’re right. It just seems like such an arbitrary limit.

@Pete-Norris My bad–wrong file. I have made additions to the C language section of the stylers.xml file. This allowed me to highlight various “words” with different highlighting.

You should look for LexerType name=“php” and add your new keywords to whatever WordsStyle you want to be used to highlight them.

Hello Colinsforum,

Pretty easy, indeed !

First, I would advice you to BACKUP your active session.xml configuration file, just in case you’ll not like the new layout !

Depending on your initial N++ installation ( With the installer OR from a ZIP or 7Z archive ), it may be located :

In the same folder as Notepad++ .exe, in case of local installation

In case of classic installation, with the installer, you probably find it :

In %AppData%\Roaming\Notepad++, for a W7, W8 or W10 configuration

In %AppData%\Notepad++, for a XP or Vista configuration

So, close any instance of N++ and BACKUP, for instance, the session.xml file as BKP_session.xml

Now, just follow the few steps,below :

Open N++

Choose the menu option Window - Windows…

=> A new window, named Windows, is displayed

Left-click on the top of the first column, labelled Name

=> The list of all your opened files, in your current N++ session, are sorted, alphabetically !

Then, click, to the right, on the Sort tabs button

=> All the tabs, are now displayed, in an alphabetic way :-))

Et voilà !

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

If you don’t like it :

Delete your session.xml file

Rename your BKP_session.xml as session.xml !
