Hi Claudia,
As it was said, the Python plugin does not meet our need.
I understand that it is difficult to resolve to add a new parameter that indicates in which column to position the first Tab, so I appreciate your concern.
And I also applaud the philosophy of those who continue to keep Notepad ++ as a free product, at a time when mercantilism seems to be a difficult north to divert.
Sincerely,
Richard
