Notepad in Windows 11 now has tabs! Announced a Microsoft employee. (representative)
Washington:
An employee of American tech giant Microsoft has inadvertently announced that the Windows 11 Notepad app is getting tabs.
According to The Verge, an American tech news site, the employee, who is a senior product manager at Microsoft, shared a photo of a copy of a tabbed notebook.
Notepad in Windows 11 now has tabs! Announce it excitedly with the megaphone emoji.
The screenshot included an internal Microsoft notice: “Confidential. Please do not discuss features or take screenshots.” He suggested that the functionality of Microsoft’s cards is still in early internal testing.
Minutes later, the tweet was deleted, but not before Windows Central and several Windows-enthusiastic Twitter accounts found out.
If Microsoft implements tabs for Notepad, it will be the first built-in tool to have a tabbed interface, after tabs were added to File Explorer earlier this year, reports The Verge.
Microsoft first experimented with tabs in all Windows 10 apps in a feature called Groups four years ago. This tab functionality built into Notepad and File Explorer, however Microsoft shelved the project and never released it for Windows 10 customers.
Adding tabs to Notepad can signal a shift towards tabs appearing in more integrated Windows applications.
Microsoft may have removed the Groups feature in Windows 10, but that hasn’t stopped power Windows users from bringing tabs back to different parts of the operating system through third-party tools and apps, according to The Verge.
