Build Identifier: 3.0.0.201102151705 In addition to "Close" / "Close Others" / "Close All", there should be a "Close Tabs To The Right". It should behave like Chrome. Why? It is a pretty good timesaver in Chrome. Often you dont want to close all your tabs, you just want to close a few. Reproducible: Always
I'm not sure about this one... Why just 'to the right' and not 'to the left' as well ? Eclipse has traditionally struggled with Editor Management with many possibilities, none of which have been satisfactory to the majority of the community... Note that Ctrl-Shift-E will get you a dialog that allows you to multiply select and close specific editors. Also, in e4 we allow any stack to contain either Views or Editors so the menus for all stacks should have identical abilities. I'm not saying that we can't come up with other operations to make this type of management easier...two come to mind: - Redock[All]: move any editors in a stack back into the primary data stack (i.e. the traditional Editor Stack). - Close untouched editors: Closes any editor that has not been changed by the user (even editors that are not currently dirty but have been dirtied while open would apply).
(In reply to comment #1) +1.
Hmm... didn't know about the CTRL+SHIFT+E "switch to editor" deal. All I know is the "Close to right" in Chrome is fairly addictive. I'd think all you need is "right" or "left". At least in my case, I'll shuffle the tabs in chrome so that what I want closed is on the right.

I just wanted to suggest an option to "Close Visible Tabs" - as often I know I have more tabs open, but can't see them as all space is taken up by tabs I don't need anymore, so I'd like to close the visible tabs to make room for non-visible tabs to check if I have some stuff left there... I like the option "close untouched editors" in comment #1, maybe even better: close stale tabs (oldest/least used). In any way, an option to "de-clutter" your workspace would be a great productivity enhancer and should be supported by the IDE in some way.
Editors are used so frequently everyday. It would be great we can enhance its productivity.
Right click + close to right is much easier than Ctrl-Shift-E.
I find "Close Tabs to the Right" extremely useful in Chrome, and I am often disappointed when I right click on an editor tab and it isn't there. I would LOVE this.

Cool stuff Andrey, thanks for the contribution.
Andrey, can you please create an entry for our N&N M6 via Gerrit?

Yes it is, I use Gerrit for N&N all the time, the only issue is that I cannot release them but I typically fetch the Gerrit review and push it directly. Here is the repo: ssh://your_user@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git

Here is the repo: > ssh://your_user@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news.git I have to correct: N&N git repo is not accessible FOR ME via Gerrit. I've tried with M5 and I had no rights whatever way to push something to this repo. I think this was already discussed in some mailing list and the conclusion was that we don't need gerrit for N&N. :(

See https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/40487 I suggest to continue this discussion via email, I can ensure you that it works, I think I pushed Gerrit changes from at least three different contributors for the last release.

+1, this is an essential feature of an IDE in my opinion.
I opened Bug 513050, as the close on right should also be available if the chevron is visible.
