Windows 11's Notepad is getting tabs

Microsoft is working on bringing tabs to its basic word processing app Notepad in Windows 11, Windows Central reports.

The publication spotted a now-deleted tweet from a Microsoft employee who appeared to have accidentally leaked the feature.

Intense technological advancement.

Autosave would be nice, like Word docs. I have a habit of leaving unsaved notepad documents open. Then loadshedding hits and they're gone.

Just use Notepad++ and ignore any garbage "advancement" coming from MS.
You don't even have to autosave. It keeps a draft of everything in case something happens.

Been thinking about doing it for years. Never got around to switching. Maybe that should be my New Year's resolution.

Been using notepad ++ for longer than I can remember.

It is absolutely amazing and truly incredible Microsuck is adding features that have been available in free apps and calling it innovation.

What a joke.

I am surprised that MS haven't made a VS Code lite as an alternative to Notepad++ or something simpler like EditPad Lite?

That Notepads app is pretty great, being a straight-up basic 'notepad'. They took their time to copy it though.
