    Hey all,

    Just wondering - what do you think about changing how vertical tabs work in N++?

    Right now, when you use vertical tabs, the text is rotated sideways which makes it kind of awkward to read. Maybe we could have them “stacked” vertically instead (like how Firefox and Chrome do it)?

    It would be so much easier to read tab names without twisting your neck, plus it leaves more room for longer filenames.

    Also, this would make it possible to eventually add tree-style tabs, where you could group related files together - super useful when working on projects with lots of files!

    Anyone else think this would be a good improvement?

      Isn’t the Document List feature sort of like what you’re describing?

      Otherwise, what you’re describing isn’t of much interest to me (since you asked what others think).

        @Molly-Harris-0 Have you tried the Window Manager plug-in?
        With the tab bar disabled and using the Window Manager, I think you will have something akin to what you are looking for.
