Pin tabs

Post by Haunt »

Hi,

first of all, I like the new option to create folder in the file system :) I hate virtual folders.

My Question:
Is it possible to pin tabsy?! Like in Visual Studio with Power Tools extension? I would really like to pin tabs I have to focus on in a separate row (first row pinned, second row all other tabs).

If not, are there any plans on such a feature?!

Regards,
Haunt

Every tab that got pinned is displayed above the unpinned tabs. Sorry for complicated explanation :oops:

I am not sure that this will get implemented. The best we got to offer (in git head) is "Detached" editors

Where you can detach tab and they will get float in their own frame. see this screenshot for example:

Thanks for the quick reply :)

This feature is cool too. But I rarely use it while coding, but sure it's handy when I have to compare some files.

At work I have to edit several files "at once" (e.G. server code, HTML page, JavaScript file, Repositories etc. for a specific feature). I am used to pin all these files (We have about 100+ source files in the project, sometimes I have to search the correct one, when found, I pin it and don't care about the other tabs anymore).

Just checked it, in the latest release (5.4) it's possible to close All/Other tabs. This makes it possible for me to close all tabs, before opening all files I need for my next feature I want to implement.
I noticed that it's only possible to right click the active tab to see it's context menu. Is it possible to change the behaviour (e.g. right click => select tab AND show context menu) ?

Maybe some day there will be a pin feature :roll:
It must not be in another row, maybe some kind of "pin to the left" feature, so all pinned tabs are always (ordered by name) on the left?! like this:

(I know I can sort the tabs manually with the mouse, even a quick "move to first position" would be cool)
