<p dir="auto">In 8.4.2 of NotePad++, I could type &lt;ALT&gt;W  and then type “4” and it would immediately switch to Window 4.  Now I have to press &lt;ENTER&gt; after typing “4” to make the switch happen.</p>
<p dir="auto">Any reason why this changed?</p>

<p dir="auto">No and no.  I suppose you could make a feature request (see FAQ).</p>

Is there any way in NotePad++ 8.4.3 (or newer) to set a preference so that the SAME hotkey (i.e. “9”) is NOT assigned to multiple windows?</p>
<p dir="auto">Or is there a way to setup the Window similar to 8.4.2 to avoid this duplicating hotkey issue?</p>

<p dir="auto">Note that in earlier versions, e.g. 8.4.2 as you suggest, there are only unique choices for 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 as a maximum of 10 files is presented, and thus the Enter press is not necessary to activate one of them:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1658408748070-7c38d62c-46cd-4cbc-bcd0-45d4716c7d74-image.png" alt="7c38d62c-46cd-4cbc-bcd0-45d4716c7d74-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">And still in 8.4.4, if one has ten or fewer open tabs it will not require the additional Enter press, as Peter’s trial earlier shows.</p>

<p dir="auto">From your screenshot, there are 2 possibilities for <code>9</code> in your list, <code>9: new 8</code> and <code>19: new 28</code>.  Since Notepad++ doesn’t know which you intend, it is waiting for you to either press <code>9</code> a second time (to move the selection highlight to <code>new 28</code>) or press Enter (to activate <code>new 8</code>).</p>

I have 20.  I just tested it again.</p>
<p dir="auto">Steps to reproduce:</p>
<p dir="auto">Uninstall NotePad++ 8.4.4<br />
Install and load NotePad++ 8.4.2 (64 bit)<br />
Open 20 files.<br />
Click the first file.<br />
Press &lt;ALT&gt; + W<br />
Type a number (I chose window #9) by typing “9”.<br />
In 8.4.2, it jumps immediately to window 9.</p>
<p dir="auto">Install and load NotePad++ 8.4.4 (64 bit)<br />
Open 20 files.<br />
Click the first file.<br />
Press &lt;ALT&gt; + W<br />
Type a number (I chose window #9) by typing “9”.<br />
It HIGHLIGHTS Window #9 in the Windows list but doesn’t “jump” to it until I hit &lt;ENTER&gt;.</p>

<p dir="auto">I cannot replicate.  With v8.4.4, with four files open, if I type <code>Alt+W</code> then <code>4</code>, it goes to the fourth window in the <strong>Windows</strong> menu list, without hitting ENTER, just like it does in previous versions.</p>
