Implement something like "Tab mix plus" firefox add-on for netbeans so that developers can configure their tab opening and closing policy to their liking, as tastes are quite different.
Currently we have no plans for working on it, so we invite community to work and provide patches. Ideal implementation would be a separate module, which would listen to user actions and call netbeans window system according to users' tab policy.
