Emacs has modes for every major programming language and most minor ones it can serve as a newsreader, an email client, a web browser, terminal emulator, image viewer, and blogging client it has a package manager, Bible-study tools, a web server - you begin to see the point. Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, Haiku, Minix, Android - more or less everywhere.Įmacs' claim to fame is its extensibility, which has allowed its users to create editing modes for almost everything, really. There have been other Emacsen, including Gosling Emacs and most prominently XEmacs, but they have all been mostly supplanted by GNU Emacs. If that’s not sufficient for you, you are allowed to make an official feature request, as described in our FAQ.Emacs is not really a single text editor it's more a family of text editors that is almost 40 years old, starting with TECO EMACS, which was a set of text-editing macros implemented by Richard Stallman using the TECO editor/programming language, and continuing to be developed today with GNU Emacs, also created by Stallman. So if your version of Notepad++ doesn’t have the Sort tabs button, then either upgrade or you can use the PythonScript solution.) (With older versions of Notepad++, there wasn’t such a feature, so an intrepid forum regular published an “auto-sort tabs (real-time)” that works with the PythonScript plugin. When you run that command, your tabs will sort alphabetically (one time if you open new files, they are not auto-sorted unless you hit the button again), and the Document List will update its unsorted-order to match the current tab order.

With more recent Notepad++ versions, the Windows menu’s Windows… action will bring up a dialog which has a Sort tabs button.

So if you keep your tabs sorted, then the Document List panel will be in the order you want. As of now, there is no setting to save the sort order from the Document List panel.īased on my experiments, it sorts by tab-order by default.
