A Microsoft employee has reportedly inadvertently leaked that the Windows 11 Notepad app will have tab functionality.
This person, a senior product manager at the company, posted a screenshot of the tabbed notebook. She appears to have enthusiastically tweeted with a megaphone pictogram, “A tab has been added to Windows 11 Notepad!”
The original tweet was deleted minutes later, but apparently Windows Central and many other Windows enthusiasts saved the image before it was taken down. The notepad image clearly states: “Confidential Do not discuss features or take screenshots.”
This notice suggests that the functionality of the tabs is still in early internal testing. It will likely be available to the Windows Insider program in early 2023.
In September “Windows 11 2022 Update” (version 22H2),Added tabs to File ExplorerIt’s all about it. The tab function, which allows you to open several folders in one window at once and switch between them for each task, has been very well received.
If the notepad has a tab function, it will be possible to open two or more memos and copy and paste each other, so it seems that there will be no need to get a text editor from another company.
A few years ago MS was testing “Sets” which added tabs to all Windows 10 apps. It also included Notepad and File Explorer, but the project was eventually discontinued.
If File Explorer is followed by Notepad with tabs, maybe other MS apps will also come with tabs.
