4. Make tab context menu customizable. (Fix #12170 )

Is the file tabContextMenu_example.xml supposed to be distributed with v8.4.8? Because it’s not in npp.8.4.8.portable.x64.zip or npp.8.4.8.portable.zip. And when i used the npp.8.4.8.Installer.x64.exe on a virtual machine, it didn’t include tabContextMenu_example.xml in c:\program files\notepad++\ nor in %AppData%\Notepad++

If the intention is just for it to be downloaded from the src directory from GitHub, that’s fine. But if the intention was to distribute that example config with the downloads, that didn’t happen.

Good remark. I will add it into binary packages.

Question to you:
if Tab Context menu explanation content will be in the same section here:
https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#the-context-menu-contextmenu-xml

Or you will create another section for it?
It’s for the ref in tabContextMenu_example.xml

My plan was to add a new set of paragraphs just after the ones you linked to, since they are similar in concept – so it would be on the same page of the User Manual, but with its own header.

So how about:
https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/#the-context-menu-tabcontextmenu-xml
?
