How can I switch tabs in Notepad++ via Ctrl+PgUp/Down?

keyboard-shortcuts notepad++ tabs

Solution 1

I'm using Notepad++ version 5.7, and it's simple to change the behavior to do exactly what you're looking for -- use Ctrl+PgUp/PgDown to change tabs just like in Firefox. Here's how:

Step 1: Click Settings | Shortcut Mapper... and make sure "Main menu" is highlighted at the top of the window. Then scroll to the very bottom of the list, and find the line that says "Switch to previous document". Double click on it's current shortcut value, and in the window that comes up change the shortcut to "Ctrl + Page up". Similarly, change the shortcut for "Switch to next document" to "Ctrl + Page down".

Step 2: Click Settings | Preferences... | MISC. tab. In the "Document Switcher (Ctrl+TAB)" box, uncheck "Enable MRU behavior". This is needed so that switching to the next/previous document will switch to an adjacent tab, rather than switching to the Most Recently Used tab.

EDIT: shoot, this question is answered far better here:

Switching to tabs to the right or left of the current tab in Notepad++

Wish I'd seen that first! :)

Solution 2

Use Ctrl + Tab . Same will apply to most tabbed applications. :)

Solution 3

Use Cntrl+Shft+Tab to run through the documents.

From All the keyboard shortcuts

Ctrl+Tab switches between 2 documents.

I put some data into elasticsearch through logstash. Then I run the first command:
```
curl 'http://localhost:9200/_search?q=traceID=1428074818422&pretty=true'
```
the elasticsearch return the result that which traceID is 1428074818422.

But when I use the second command:
```
curl 'http://localhost:9200/_search？pretty=true' -d'{
    "query":{
    "term" : {"traceID" : "1428074818422"}
    }
}'
```
the elastcsearch can not find any result.

I want to kown the reason about this problem and how can I solve it,thanks.

  is your traceId string or number? try to pass number instead of string.

  your first query should be written as follows curl 'http://localhost:9200/_search?q=traceID:1428074818422&prett‌y=true' - note the colon after traceID. So possibly the first query isn't returning the right data anyway?

  yeah , u are right, but how about the second query?

In step 2, you'll want to uncheck "Enable" to disable the document switcher. This matches what the link above says too. Anyway, thanks for the info!

And also don't forget to disable "Document Switcher" in preference.

Ctrl+Tab is smart tab, Ctrl+PgUp/Down is cycling tabs in order.

Can you explain what your plugin actually does? There is no readme on your github site ...

@DavidPostill, This plugin is something like NavigateTo in Visual Studio but it is more simple. It allows you to quickly search and navigate between opened files(tabs).
