Is there any configura

Answer 1

This article helped me figure out how to move/copy my unsaved open tabs to another PC.

Install notepad++ first if not already.

Make sure notepad++ is not open/running on new PC.

On the old PC copy the backup folder located C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ to the new one (location may vary on OS). Also copy the session.xml file.

Open notepad++ and all the open unsaved tabs should appear with content.
