Close other tab in Notepad++

[knn]

Is it possible with AHK to close the "next" Notepad++ Document, i.e. to close a tabulator which is to the right of the tab that I am in?

So, if I press CTRL+W it closes the current tab, but CTRL-E would close not the current tab but the next tab?

[vsub]

Send,{Browser_Back} ; switch to the tab on the left side of the current
Send,{Browser_Forward} ; switch to the tab on the right side of the current

So

Code: Select all

^e::
Send,{Browser_Forward}
Send,{Blind}w
Return

First of all, thank you very much!!

You use Send,{Blind}w to close the tab. If I define CTRL+W to be something else or if I want CTRL+W to close the left tab, then your code won't work anymore.

Is there another way to close a Notepad++ tab?

Hi @knn,

The following would accomplish what's in your original post:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad++
^e::
   SendInput, ^{PgDn}
   SendInput, ^w
Return
#IfWinActive

If you define CTRL+W (or CTRL+{PGDN}) to be something else, the following should work:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad++
^e::
   WinMenuSelectItem, A, , View, Tab, Next Tab
   WinMenuSelectItem, A, , File, Close
Return
#IfWinActive

Cheers,

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad++
^e::
   WinMenuSelectItem, A, , View, Tab, Next Tab
   WinMenuSelectItem, A, , File, Close
Return
#IfWinActive

Doesn't work. Only works when the menu bar is visible

Is there maybe a scintilla way to close a tab?
