Notepad++ supports either switching between the most recently used tabs or adjacent tabs (depending on the Notepad++ configuration). I was hoping to switch between tabs like Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2, etc. just as in Google Chrome.
This functionality does not seem to be supported natively in Notepad++, but I was wondering if there is any plugin/addon that may support this. Or is there a different notepad application?

Notepad++ supports switching between tabs via the Contrl + NumberPad key combinations rather than the top level number keys.

If you are using a standard keyboard you could use Control+NumPad key to switch between the first 9 tabs.
You could also use Control+PageUp to switch to the Previous Tab and Control+PageDown to switch to the Next Tab.
Source: Go to Notepad++ > Click on View > Tab >
Note: NumLock should be turned on.
Also found this hidden feature during experimental shortcut search on Notepad++.
You can use Control+Tab to switch to the last used Tab. Also pressing and holding the Control+Tab will show you a list of all the files open in Notepad++. You could then keep pressing Tab to select which file you want to open(You could use the Up or Down Arrow keys to do the same).
Control+Shift+Tab takes you to the previous file name.
Answer Bonus :): You could use Control+Tab to shift between tabs in Google Chrome too instead of using the Control+Number to switch tabs. Control+Shift+Tab will take you to the Previous Tab.

Thanks. I did check settings but got lost with so many of them. I should have checked tabs. Thanks again. Very useful – doon – 2015-04-01T12:06:57.987
Nice. I just tried this in Sublime Text and it supports it as well. – taco – 2015-04-01T20:32:04.980
