Return to same line when switching tabs.

stephen lord

When I switch active tabs (i.e. move back and forth between files), when I return to a file, it goes to line #1 automatically. It is like I am opening the file for the first time.

I don’t recall this behavior before–I find it very annoying having to scroll or search to find the line I was working on. I am not closing or saving the file, I am just switching between files.

Is there a setting for returning to the same spot? Or this a bug? I noticed this after upgrading to 6.7.9.2

Not knowing if upgrading was the cause, I reinstalled an earlier version 6.7.8 and, no joy.

How do I make it remember where it was when I switch files?

I think I’ve seen this reported before (on Sourceforge) and it was determined that a plugin was malfunctioning. What happens if you turn off all plugins (rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins to something else temporarily)?

I believe it is due to XML Tools. Try disabling, “Set XML type automatically”

Well thanks from me as well.
I’ll download the 2.4.7 alpha and see if it works for my case as well.

@dail: another thank you from me! I have been using Notepad++ and the XML tools plugin for years but this suddenly became an issue today for some reason. Disabling “Set XML type automatically” fixed it.

For quick tab switching I could recommend you my free open source plugin ‘NavigateTo’ - https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo/releases
