      Is there a way to shortcut the key or add a ribbon or tab button to toggle the multi-line off and on? I don’t want to click preferences > general > multi-line. Because too much clicked.

      Also, I would add an arrow-down button onto a tab like expand and collapse in a multi-line tab like this:

      Can I post it on GitHub for the requested feature?

        As far as I know, there is no way to assign a hotkey to toggling between multi-line and single-line tab bar. I’m sure a plugin like PythonScript or NppExec could do something like that in a very hackerish way, but you almost certainly would prefer something less weird.
        I’ll just provide my advice on the more general topic of how to handle large numbers of open files in Notepad++.
        I’m sure you could request it on GitHub, but the core devs of Notepad++ are pretty unpredictable about what new features they choose to add or what bugs they choose to fix.

        1. One of my best productivity hacks in Notepad++ was to hotkey View->Document List. This creates a new docking dialog that you can navigate with the arrow keys to quickly move down the list of open documents. It also shows which files have unsaved changes, which can be very helpful.
        2. If you’re dealing with large numbers of files or you want to be able to easily open files in the same directory as an open file, NavigateTo is a good plugin.

          Thank you for your advice,

          I have installed the plugin already for I used favorites or group folder but I’m not interested that the “list” doesn’t peek view or panel (document map & tab peek).
          I mostly used Chrome or view grid-like multi-line because my hand goes faster to move the cursor without scrolling it.
          I have a lot of files in a different directory as opened files.
