Hi devs,
would it be possible/feasible/a good thing to add tabs to Notepad, just like it was done with the Shell?
That would give me back a great deal of viewing space when editing two files or comparing or something else with two or more open Notepads involved (i always end up closing those windows - even if i still need them - just because they cover up everything beneath them, with tabs that would be so much tidier and modern).
Yes, i know i could resize them, but having two small Notepad windows open is still a waste of one open Notepad window, if we'd got tabs
I'd like to ask for such a feature
Thanks a lot

Re: Tabs for Notepad
I think that's a good question and I'll make an Enhancement Request for it.
(edit)
I found an existing request for that same feature, so I've "bumped" it and repeated your "vote".

Re: Tabs for Notepad
Are you volunteering to become a developer? Because with your experience and knowledge, you would be made very welcome.
Unless you were a signed-up developer, I doubt that they would let you have the sources. But I'll ask, you never know.

Well I'm volunteering to do all those mundane little jobs the Team can never find time for If that requires signing a contract, very well, that's no problem.tonyw wrote:Are you volunteering to become a developer? Because with your experience and knowledge, you would be made very welcome.

I know but why reimplement things from scratch? I'd have to devise at least my own undo/redo system, which would be a waste of time considering that it's already in and working.You hardly need the notepad srcs to create a tabbed editor based on texteditor.gadget

Re: Tabs for Notepad
If you are serious about becoming a developer, please contact ssolie (Steven Solie) or Cyborg (Costel Mincea) in the first instance.
After discussion, I get the impression that such an enhancement to Notepad is considered unimportant, with other third-party solutions on the way. "They" think that programs like Notepad should be left as basic utilities, with the bells and whistles provided by third-party programs.

Re: Tabs for Notepad
Yeah, that annoing thing which are here for 10 years : broken copy+paste by mouse from amiga guide documents ! I just can't mark by mouse portions of text in amiga guide to be able to ctrl+c it for later ctrl+v. It was discussed few times, it was reported few times (one times per 2-3 years), and no one was brave enough to fix it )Fix amigaguide.library whilst you're there

It's not broken, it's unimplmented, quite a difference. I've no idea of the internal structure of a guide file when loaded into memeory, but I guarantee from working with other types of hyper text it wont be flat text and so whilst doable, it won't (or at least might not) be trivial.
