Microsoft has released the first test version of Windows 11, which includes an update to Notepad that supports tabs in English. An employee revealed last month that the feature was coming, and users will be able to choose whether they want to open new files in a new tab or window. In addition, there will be keyboard shortcuts for managing tabs in Notepad, although Microsoft has not yet specified what these are and how they work. The tabs are in Notepad version 11.2212.33.0, which Windows Insiders can access in the Dev channel with the latest update.
According to Microsoft, tab support was the most requested feature for Notepad. In 2017, rumors circulated that Notepad, the Explorer, and Office in Windows 10 would be getting tabs, although this never came to fruition. Microsoft’s release of this feature in Windows 11 is a welcome addition for users who have been waiting for this feature for years.
Microsoft’s release of tabbed Notepad in Windows 11 is a major step forward for users who have been looking for this feature for a long time. By providing a setting to open new files in a new tab or window, as well as keyboard shortcuts for managing tabs, Microsoft has made it easier for users to work with multiple documents at once. The update is now available to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel, and it is expected to be released to the public in the near future.
