I couldn't get the java SDK commands dropdown in Configure > Preferences > Tools > Add. Is there anything I should do to resolve ...

I’ve tried using the “Document Tabs” feature, but I’m wondering if there are more advanced techniques or plugins available to enhance this. This sounds like ChatGPT scripted this text and these "requests" are pretty vague, especially with using the adjective "enhanced" - if "Document Tabs" doesn't f ...

Not sure what to advise. As you are W11 (like me) do you have anything that traps keyboard commands before TextPad sees it? I'm thinking Ctrl+Shift+U is something to do with a driver on your computer, graphics etc?
I was once caught out by a shortcut that turned the screen upside down.

In the future (or on other boards) you may want to make more than one attempt, since commandline and parameter* do find posts (the asterisk finds not only "parameter" but also words starting with that, like "parameter s " - likewise searching for command* does find posts, too, but you can use the ...

@MrSpock: to allow for spaces in file pathnames, put the %1 in the registry in quotes. Assuming that was not an issue, if TextPad is started with the name of a file in its parameters, it will either open it, or ask if you want to create it. Try it for yourself by running these commands in a command ...

Drag them from where they are in the list of commands on the Customize dialog box, and drop them where you want them on the standard toolbar.

A rightclick on any toolbar or the window menu to then select "Customize" doesn't work anymore? In its tab "Commands" you can drag anything to your toolbars, or remove it from them. Hence you're unbound to existing toolbars and what they carry.

if during a macro playback all external TextPad input is ignored It's difficult to judge if input comes from the program's own windows or from elsewhere. As a result one wouldn't be able to pause/stop a macro anymore, should input be disabled. to not touch anything else on Windows i.e. changing ...
