How do I move a tab in Notepad++ to a new window?

How do I move a tab in Notepad++ to a new window? (EDIT: The Move to New Instance option is disabled, how do I enable it?)

I have tried dragging it out such as you do in Firefox and Chrome, but it doesn't work. I have also tried Move to Other View option, but it splits the same Notepad++ window into two.

Solution

  • You can right click the tab and select move to or open in new instance.

    This only works for files that are not dirty (when the tab icon is not red).
