From my point of view there would be nice to be able to define number of opened windows in editor. If this number is exceeded then the others will be closed. The default number could be relatively high (say 100) to satisfy all those users that don't like sixth sense code . IDEA also has such feature as far as I know .
Valid IMHO, we should do this.
Probably this is going to be solved by contrib/autoclose (jlahoda) which could be integrated into trunk in the future. Radku you could help with testing it and filing bugs for the module when you are an experienced user in this area ;)
I guess now the demand for such feature is not that high as in the past, because for example debugger automatically reuses one document/tab during debugging. Still it's valid I think.
