I have notepadplus, and I have multiple tabs, i'd like to see the contents of all the tabs simultaneously e.g. converting them to windows. To a view like with notepad(or any separate windows) where you can Tile Horizontally/Vertically.

Added clarification

As you see from my comment, when I say "multiple" I don't mean 1 or 2, I mean more than 2. e.g. could be 5 or 6 or 15 or 30.

This is not a duplicate of How can I view two files side by side in Notepad++ because that one only covers for two files

Like most other tabbed applications, it's as simple as dragging the tabs out of the active application window. When you release the mouse button, Notepad++ will spawn a new window with the tab you just dragged out. Another way to do this is to select the tab you want to break out, and go to View -> Move/Clone Current Document -> Move to New Instance. You can then tile these separate windows as you would like.

You can also drag the tab within the active window to spawn a split-screen view by selecting one of the two "Move to new view" or "Clone to other view" when you release the mouse button after dragging.

If all you need is a text editor, NotepadTabs will do what you are trying to do. It is freeware.
