Hope to support a multi-tab mode like notepad++ or atom.
would there be similar functions？

Hello @mp5088643 ,

Honestly, this is not the intention of the owner of Notepad3 who respects the philosophy of Notepad2. 🤔

See below for many answers on this subject as well as on compatibility with "XP":

Will Notepad2 ever have a tabbed multiple document interface?

WILL NOTEPAD3 EVER HAVE A TABBED MULTIPLE DOCUMENT INTERFACE?
We prefer the true Notepad-like single document interface for our daily work with small scripts and files. As this is by far the most frequently asked question, here’s a few more arguments to confirm my (of course subjective) point of view:

The window manager of my operating system already provides a nice taskbar, where open windows are grouped together and displayed with a nice icon.
When working with several applications at the same time, any document can be accessed with Alt+Tab (or from the taskbar), this is not possible with multiple document applications (use Alt+Tab first, then Ctrl+Tab or similar to find the document inside the application; moreover not all opened documents are visible in the taskbar).
Recent versions of Windows provide taskbar thumbnail previews for grouped icons. Like this, it’s very easy to navigate between multiple documents. Not sure if there’s a light-weight method to achieve this for tabbed applications (however, Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 supports this).
Notepad3 can be used on multiple monitors or across multiple virtual desktops, this is not possible either with a multiple document interface.
