    I am so impressed with Notepad ++… I use it all the time, especially when developing.

    Now I’m pretty sure that someone must have asked for this before but would it be possible to employ the mouse wheel to scroll through the page tabs. Sometimes, when working on my latest build, I have 30+ tabs open. Its not a massive feature that everyone would enjoy but for me it would be a great bonus. Is this do-able?

      Hello @Filious-Factotum

      afaik, not yet implemented but do you know that you can access the tabs by using

      CTRL+1 or 2 or 3 - 9 (on numpad) directly and with
      CTRL+page up and page down to switch to next/previous tab?

      Cheers
      Claudia

          Hello Filious,

          Oh ! I missed that post. I’ve, also, a nice solution that uses the mouse :

          • Click and hold on the mouse RIGHT button

          • At the SAME time, move, up or down, the wheel mouse, to select the wanted file

          => At once, the yellow-orange list of all the opened documents should appear

          • Release the RIGHT mouse button to close the files list and open the wanted file, whose path appears in bold characters

          NOTE :

          • For less than about 50 files, simultaneously opened, in your N++ session, this list should be seen, in its totality, on the screen !

          • This mouse gesture is a bit hard to get, at first, but, once you get used to, you’ll find this gesture quite natural :-))

          Best Regards

              Hi Yaron,

              Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, regexes are, really, a fascinating world !. We can, generally, produce many changes, in a text, with a very short regex expression. And getting the shortest one, is just like a game, a kind of puzzle, to my mind :-)


              As for the tip, of my previous post, I, just, read the N++ documentation, from the different links, below :

              https://donho1.gitbooks.io/npp-user-manual/content/switching-between-documents.html

              http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Document_Management#Document_management

              or download the .CHM file, from the link below, and look at the section Switching between documents :

              http://oedoc.free.fr/NppHelp/EN/NppHelp.chm


              See also, my post below :

                Hello guy038,

                It’s a pleasure complementing someone who really deserves it.

                It turns out that reading an application’s documentation can actually be useful. :)
                Thank you for those links.

                Best regards.

                  Just reading this now, in 2024, about eight years after thread creation.
                  Atop, there are tabs of all Notepad++ files open. I can two-finger-scroll up or down to move the tabs to the right or left, respectively. I love this feature but on my Notepad++ the scrolling sensitivity is much too light. Even the slightest scroll moves the tabs so quickly I miss any tabs in the middle, between my most recently and least currently opened files. How can I slow the scrolling speed? I do not want to change my mouse scrolling speed altogether, as the speed at which I scroll webpages and notepad pages with the two-finger-scroll method is perfectly fine. It is only in the Notepad++ app, and then only when scrolling the open file tabs at the upper part of the screen.

                    From the keyboard you can use Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab which will pull up the same thing that mouse right-click + mouse wheel brings up. Keep holding the Ctrl key and release the Tab key. While holding the Ctrl key down use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the list. Using the keyboard may gives you a more fine grained control over the scrolling through the list than the mouse wheel. The mouse wheel also works for scrolling this list while the Ctrl key is being held down.

                    For more about this please see https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-interface/#document-switcher

                    FYI - the document switcher can be disabled via Preferences / MISC. / Document Switcher / Enable. If you try either the right click plus mouse wheel thing or Ctrl+Tab and “nothing happens” then check that the document switcher is enabled in preferences.

                    To fix or change the specific issue @Ian brought up with mouse wheel sensitivity when in document switcher mode we would need to go through the Notepad++'s FAQ: Feature Request or Bug Report system.
