Next/Previous Tab shortcut without cycling

fallenrelics

The current behavior of ctrl+page down cycles the tabs. For instance if I have 3 tabs {A B C} pressing ctrl+page down will do {A B C, A B C, A B C …}. I’d like to be able to go to the next tab put stop at the last tab {A B C}.

It is not possible to do what you want with Notepad++ itself; however, with scripting it can be done. Something like this snippet logic would do it:

curr_view = notepad.getCurrentView()
curr_index = notepad.getCurrentDocIndex(curr_view)
max_index = -1
for (pathname, buffer_id, index, view) in notepad.getFiles():
    if view == curr_view:
        if index > max_index:
            max_index = index
if curr_index < max_index:
    notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_TAB_NEXT)
