Is there a way to manage tabs efficiently in Notepad++

Question

Is there a way to group tabs in Notepad++?

I frequently end-up with 30 or more tabs (files) opened, and it's becoming quite hard to figure out which tab I want to switch to.

If I could group them per affinity (one tab-bar per group?), that would be a good start.

I found the perfect solution here....i know its a tad bit late...but just came across your Q and that page while Googling for the same thing. Enjoy

Answer 2

Not really an answer because I'm not aware of any specific tab management plug-ins, but it might be worth looking at. It's a plug-ib for NPP called Window Manager, it allows a slightly different view of open documents via a dockable window.

I have it installed in NPP and it's useful when there are multiple tabs open. It can be found at the bottom of the NPP plugins page

The File Switcher plugin may (or may not) suit your needs. It presents a sortable list, and has partial-title quick-search...

You can find it here: Directory for Notepad++ plugins

Here is a summary from the Plugins page:
"... a little plugin that switches between files, by entering any part of the filename. It's handy if you don't like taking your hands off the keyboard to switch files. Formerly known as Keyboard File Switcher."
