      I have Notepad++ set to always open a new instance and I’ve hidden the tab bar. However, when I press Ctrl-N no new window appears (an “invisible” tab appears). Is it possible to disable file tabbing altogether? And have Ctrl-N open a new Notepad++ window?

        Hello @Sano-Toshiba

        I have Notepad++ set to always open a new instance

        How did you do that?

        and I’ve hidden the tab bar. However, when I press Ctrl-N no new window appears (an “invisible” tab appears).

        Afaik, no.

        And have Ctrl-N open a new Notepad++ window?

        I assume what you want is ALT+F6, but if you want to reassign the shortcurt you can do so.
        Settings->Shortcut Mapper
        In Main menu you need to relase the CTRL+N for a new tab and in Run commands you need to
        modify Open in another instance

        Cheers
        Claudia

          Beautiful. Thanks Claudia.

          As for your first question, what I said was rather vague, but here is the answer.

          But I’m sure you know this already.

            Yes, I know that setting. I was confused because I thought you mean that double-clicking
            on a file will automatically start a new instance of npp. But this doesn’t make sense
            when reading the rest of your question. Sometimes I should just take the time to
            read the post carfully and maybe twice. But good to see that your fouund a solution
            to your issue.

            Cheers
            Claudia
