The current tab is highlighted in #FFFFFF, while the rest of the tabs are #F0F0F0.</p> <p>Would it be possible to tweak the colors using a new setting, registry key, Windows color scheme adjustment, or by some other method?</p> <p>Running PM 2.2.0.2240 on Windows Vista with standard color scheme as far as I know.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-7396 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 11:25:26 +0000 StickyNomad 7396@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I just had a look at pn 2.15 and the order of the file tabs is now remembered between sessions. Thank you very much for that fix Simon!!!</p> <p>Although there is one last tiny thing about the file tabs that I'd like to be added if possible:<br /> Currently, when pn is restarted, the rightmost file tab always gets the focus. Would it be possible to also restore which file tab was active in the previous session? I would prefer if pn would start with the exact same file tab activated as in the session before.</p> <p>I hope this could be added if it's not too difficult to implement. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-7087 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:41:55 +0000 StickyNomad 7087@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'm way more than glad about that, thank you very much for this!</p> <p>I can't wait for the next release to finally use this great editor on a daily basis.

I really find it irritating. I hope it isn't too difficult to fix. I have tried 6 different notepads in the past couple months and I like most everything about this one except this one issue. If this issue gets fixed, I'll donate some money. And I'll spread the word to all my programmer collegues. How about that for bribery :) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-2258 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:33:28 +0000 StickyNomad 2258@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Thank you for the reply simon!</p> <p>This is a minor issue and there are more important things for sure, so I'll be patient until you find some time to address this. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-2257 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:15:17 +0000 simon 2257@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Sorry, I keep forgetting to reply to this! Yes, it's a known issue and one that would be nice to fix. It's not been high on my priorities because it's not the easiest thing to fix. The list of the tabs saved in the file is controlled by the order in which Windows chooses to enumerate the tabs - this isn't the order of the tabs, but is somewhat controlled by recent tab use.</p> <p>To fix it means we need to get the order from somewhere else and apply it to the list of tabs being saved. Hopefully I'll get to it in a future release. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-2256 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:18:02 +0000 StickyNomad 2256@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>OK, I know this might not be a big issue, but any chance of a comment?</p> <p>Personally I prefer the file tabs having always the same order, and this also is quite a usual behaviour in almost every 'tabbed' application. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-2237 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:09:14 +0000 simon 2237@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>In the stable release they are different implementations of recent use :) When you turn the option on, PN takes over from Windows itself and implements visual-studio like window ordering (my preference). This means that if you press Ctrl-tab, then release, then ctrl-tab again, you'll toggle between two files.</p> <p>In the testing release (very soon to be stable) you'll find that recent use hasn't changed, but if you turn this option off you now get firefox-style tab ordering. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-2235 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:05:20 +0000 Nux 2235@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I just want to be sure - the option "Tab order controlled by recent use" doesn't really do anything in current stable release or does it? It seems to me that it is currently always by recent use. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-2203 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:36:30 +0000 StickyNomad 2203@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hm, any opinions/comments on this little issue? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/612#post-2191 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:52:42 +0000 StickyNomad 2191@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I'm trying Pnotepad for a while now and it is really great, but one thing annoys me a tiny bit:</p> <p>I have the option 'remember last open files and projects' between sessions activated.</p> <p>If I restart pnotepad, the active filetab from the last sessions always gets moved to the right of all other filetabs.</p> <p>Example:<br /> opened file tabs:<br /> file1 | File2 | file3</p> <p>If I now activate file1 and then restart pnotepad, the tab order looks like this:<br /> File2 | file3 | file1</p> <p>Would it be possible that the tab order is always kept? I always work with a set of preferred files and find it a little disturbing that the file tabs get re-arranged anytime I restart pnotepad after activating some other file tab. If other users prefer the current behaviour, this could be introduced as a new option, e.g.</p> <p>[ ] keep tab order between sessions</p> <p>Anyway, thank you for this great piece of software! </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-1934 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 23:51:01 +0000 simon 1934@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Jumpfroggy is right about the reason for the current recent use behaviour. I'm definitely going to add the different behaviour, and have just set it for being done before the next stable release. Should get to it soon.</p> <p>Couldn't seem to see an existing issue for this, I know there was one at Sourceforge and could have sworn it had made it over to Google Code. Never mind, here's a new one to track:</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=391" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=391</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-1927 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:52:34 +0000 Karmaflute 1927@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Windows explorer also uses alt-shift-tab for moving backwards instead of ctrl-shift-tab. :) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-1914 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:22:33 +0000 jumpfroggy 1914@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Karma; the &quot;ping-ponging&quot; is using most-recently-used order, which is more like windows' Alt+Tab. You're thinking in the &quot;left to right&quot; order, like firefox/ie's tabs. It's a personal preference which one is a better default, and you can definitely change it to suit.</p> <p>However, I agree with the OP that Control+Tab should move right, Control+Shift+Tab should move left. Hopefully it'll get fixed sometime soon. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-1912 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:52:46 +0000 Karmaflute 1912@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>For me, the expected behavior is Ctrl-Tab to move forward in the tabs and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to move backwards. Programmer's Notepad instead seems to ping-pong between all tabs which is unexpected. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-1911 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:49:04 +0000 castorp 1911@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Any update on this?

If I change tabs by clicking on the tab with my mouse, the full screen refresh doesn't occur. The switch is much smoother.

I'll be adding tab-based ordering some time soon. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/192#post-683 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 03:45:53 +0000 jumpfroggy 683@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Using v2.0.6.1, I have turned off "Tab order controlled by recent use". However, pressing Control+Tab goes in reverse order through the tabs (right to left). And pressing Control+Shift+Tab goes in forward order (left to right).</p> <p>Expected: Control+Tab should go forward/right, adding Shift should go backward/left.</p> <p>I don't know if this still happens in the beta, I will try to install later and check. Just wanted to know if this was a known issue. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/9#post-29 Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:43:35 +0000 etasoft 29@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Another fast switching option could be available via keys ALT+TabNumber. Example: ALT+1 would switch to tab number 1, ALT+2 to tab number 2, etc. Very helpful if you have 3-7 tabs open. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/9#post-28 Fri, 20 Jan 2006 15:16:48 +0000 etasoft 28@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Now that you explained it makes sense.

Current tabbing with CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB does not follow actual order displayed on the screen but some internal "hard-to-guess" order. </p>
