Title: [Feature request] Tabs rework
Post by: Mystery Keeper on December 13, 2015, 03:02:38 pm
Right now editor tabs usability is very poor. I constantly have to use the tabs list to switch between them. Maybe you should make your own customizable widget for tabs?
First of all I would like to have an option for multiline tabs. That much would probably be enough for me. But I recommend you to not stop at that and look at Tabs Studio (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/EBF6137E-AA2D-4DC9-860A-F04168F11CD7) extension for MSVS. The way it handles tabs is extremely handy! It groups files with the same path but different extension in one tab. For example - source file and header.

Patches welcome.
But multiline tabs will be a really tough feature to implement (on all OSes we support).

To make your life easier use:
1. f11 to switch headers and sources
2. alt-g to search a file in  a project by name

And feature request here will be buried quite easily. Use the ticket system on sf.net for these.

..also don't forget the "open file list" plugin.

"Open files list" is what I have to resort to. Far from handy.

Far from handy.
negative or positive?
If negative, what is the problem with it?
