Microsoft has started deploying an update to Notepad v 11.2212.33.0 for Windows 11 to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel.
The latest Notepad update features long-awaited support for multiple tabs which was a top requested feature from the Microsoft community. Notepad tabs will allow users to organize multiple files in a single Notepad window.
Users will also be able to work with files across multiple windows by dragging tabs out into their own windows, similar to handling tabs in the Microsoft Edge browser. You will also be able to customize whether the supported files will open in a new tab or a new window by default.
The company also introduced a new set of keyboard shortcuts for managing tabs and several improvements for managing unsaved files.
Considering this is still a beta version, please be aware that you might encounter issues with some keyboard shortcuts along with slower performance.
Microsoft will also continue to optimize performance to ensure Notepad meets high standards of performance, compatibility, and reliability.
