    I use Document switcher(CTRL + TAB) feature alot. Have large number of files opened in Notepad++. Now, Document switcher list display extends beyond the monitor length. Can the list display be restricted to a patricular height with a scroll bar inside, something like below.

      Kris;

      Have you tried the FileSwitcher plugin yet?  It sounds right along the lines of what you are looking for.

      Search may seems like it doesn't exist for these forums, but it does.  At the bottom of the Forums list in the page's menu area.

        On that note...  SourceForge's forums are the worst I've encountered on so many level that it almost makes me cry.

        I don't know who the owner / moderator of this project / forum is, but IMO a switch to Google Code and Google Groups (well, at the very least Google Groups) would rejuvenate these forums (and potentially this project) in a big way.

      FileSwitcher plugin is not exactly what iam looking for. FileSwitcher seems to always display the file list in alphabetical order. Document Switcher displays the file list in last visited order and can navigate with fewer key strokes.

        Last visited order and most commonly used order are planned for 1.1 of the file switcher, so hang on in there!

      Can this change be done in Document Switcher ? Hopefully it's not difficult.
