I often have more than 6 files open at one time. With so many files open the tabs at the top of the editor window often needs to be able to scroll left and right. It often feels tedious to either scroll left or right (or click the dropdown and select the file from that list) (or Ctrl-Tab between different files). I want to be able to click directly on the file tab. Some applications allow the tabs to be stacked. Even old Windows dialogs have stacked rows of tabs that can be selected. I don't think this is look and feel is that unheard of. It would be great if NetBeans would have an option to provide for a stacked tabs look and feel to its file tabs. Thanks, Brent
Stacked tabs are available in the nightly builds. See * http://benkiew.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/netbeans-ide-improved-documents-tabs-in-nightly-builds/ * http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205943 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205943 ***
