      Is there such a hot key, or should I request one?

      Apparently, you requested one:

        Here’s a PythonScript called TabBarVisibilityToggle.py that will (somewhat obviously) toggle the visibility of the tab bar with each run of the script. I tied it to the single hotkey suggestion of Ctrl+Alt+Shift+t.

        As indicated before, the startup state of N++ doesn’t know if the tab bar is showing or hiding, so I default to showing it with this single line in startup.py: notepad.showTabBar()

        So here’s the script:

        # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
        from __future__ import print_function
        
        from Npp import *
        
        #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        class TBVT(object):
        
            def __init__(self):
                self.tab_bar_visible = True
        
            def run(self):
                self.tab_bar_visible = not self.tab_bar_visible
                notepad.showTabBar() if self.tab_bar_visible else notepad.hideTabBar()
        
        #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        if __name__ == '__main__':
            try:
                tbvt
            except NameError:
                tbvt = TBVT()
            tbvt.run()

          Also, if you use the PythonScript plugin[…]

          I am not really into these plugins with user scripts.
          Thanks for you efforts!
          Tried to do it.
          Added notepad.showTabBar() in startup.py
          Created a new script with your code.
          Can’t find how to assign hotkey to a script?
          Now it works from menu’s script button.

            Oh, I’ve forgot about Document List mode. Thanks for suggestion.

            I’ll stick to this variation for a while:
            Show tab bar in single line and enable Document List mode.
            Not really what I wanted; I’ll wait for the reqested hot key.

              There’s a nice demo of how to do that HERE.
              At least I call it nice because I wrote it. :-)

                Not all requests are fulfilled.
                Typically devs will see issues that can be solved by plugins and they let that solution ride.
                So…

                  I have a lot of open files, over 200 up to 300[…]

                  Session.xml says that actually there are 340+ open tabs ))

                    Yes.
                    Waiting, maybe it will be implemented soon.

                      I take it you are new to this. ;-)
                      Good luck.

                          So it is. Try THIS instead.
