Description freeman3 2010-06-10 12:34:39 UTC
I have about 30 editors open and the tabs are ordered as it was opened. It's wrong. Most recently used tabs should be always visible like in eclipse, that means, that the order of tabs should be changed based on the probability the user need them again.
The eclipse approach is much more user friendly. For ex. I have 5 tabs I have user recently at the end of the tab bar. Now I need a tab from the beginning and I switch to it. And the 5 last used tabs are "lost".
Or at least there should be possibility to add more tab rows and to se the number of tabs before the tab autoclose.
