A month ago it was reported that Microsoft is experimenting with the ability to add tabs to Notepad in Windows 11. Today, the software giant takes a step forward by making this feature available to users so that they can try it out for themselves.
However, to take advantage of this opportunity, you must be a Windows Insider in the Dev Channel.
In announcing the test, Microsoft says:
With this update, we’re introducing multi-tab support—a much-requested feature from the community—that lets you create, manage, and organize multiple files in a single Notepad window! You can also continue working on files in multiple windows by dragging a tab into its own window, and a new application setting lets you customize how files open in new tabs or in a new window by default. Microsoft has added keyboard shortcuts to help with tab management and also made some improvements to unsaved file handling.
The news isn’t all good, however, as Microsoft says it’s aware of some issues with the new feature.
Some users may experience problems with certain keyboard shortcuts. We will continue to optimize performance to ensure Notepad continues to meet our high standards for performance, reliability, and compatibility.
