Notepad++ Cheat sheet To switch and activate next/previous tab, there are multiple options: Use Ctrl + MOUSEWHEEL on tabs. MOUSEWHEEL up will take to previous tab while down will take next tab. Use Ctrl + Page Up for next tab and Ctrl + Page Down for previous tab.
To split the Notepad++ window into two sub-windows, right-click on an open tab, then click “Move to Other View” or “Clone to Other View”. Right-click on an open tab, then click “Move to Other View” or “Clone to Other View”.
If you want to open multiple instance of Notepad++, you can press keys ALT + F6 on your keyboard. Alternatively, you can use the menu Run > Open file in new instance.
You can right click the tab and select move to or open in new instance.
This only works for files that are not dirty (when the tab icon is not red).
Right-click the tab you are working with, and click "Move to New Instance", or to open the file again in a new window, click "Open in New Instance."
Simply Ctrl+Left Mouse click to drag and drop the tab will create a new Notepad++ window instance.
Also, make sure the tab is NOT in RED.
If you would like to open each file on separate instance during initial open action itself, there is a setting.
