Microsoft is changing things up in the Snipping Tool and Notepad
in Windows 11 with some new, handy features.
The most significant update to Notepad is the autosave,
which means that your Notepad window will no longer show a pop up asking if you
want to save your file when you attempt to close it after making changes. When you
return to your file, you will find the changes you made to it last.
Another addition is the tab support that will enable you to
use multiple files in a single window, much like in the File Explorer. You will
also find new keyboard shortcut keys to support managing your Notepad tabs.
In the Snipping Tool, you will be getting a better screen
recording experience as a result of an improved interface. The screen recording
option will be directly accessible from a keyboard shortcut, so you wouldn’t have
to search for it in the screenshot toolbar.
These features are currently being tested in the Windows
Insider Program and are therefore available to the Canary and Dev channels only
for now. You can expect them to be out on the main Windows update channel
later.
