    Hello,

    is it possible to open several notepad++ windows at the same time? Like with Firefox I don't always want to use tabs, but sometimes open a new window.

    Best regards
    Ralf

      in FAQ/Command line arguments :

      You can pass the arguments to Notepad++ while launch time from the command line or via a shortcut.

      "notepad++.exe -multiInst"

      -multiInst : Notepad++ is uniq instance by default. This option allows you to launch several instances of Notepad++.

        What are the registry records I should change to
        notepad++.exe -multiInst
        in order to have a new window whenever I click view source in IE?

        I have never used FireFox (shame ... shame!), but just for completion's sake and just in case I might, what is needed to be done to view source using npp in FireFox?

          Hi,
          is there a way to open a second text document in a new window?

          I think you don't neeed to view the source in N++, Firefox has it's own syntax highlight viewer :_D And you allways can improve it using some cool extensions!

          Firefox Rulez! :-D

      I too would like this ability... also like firefox... wouldn't it be cool if we could drag and drop files inbetween two open sessions of N++

      alphalyrae,

      thanks for the info!

      Is it possible to make this a default action? I always want notepad++ to open a new instance when opening an associated file. It's rather complicated to check through all registry entrys to change the "open-command"-action.

      I don't know how to do that.
      I use a shortcut that I use when I want to lanch another instance. Files are launched in the last used notepad++ instance.
      I think it's possible to create a small program to associate with your files. This program will just launch the file in a new instance of notepad++ every time.
