It would be nice for the UI to give users the option of having editor tabs string along the top (as they currently do) with navigation buttons appearing when too many tabs are open, or to have the tabs stack with the possibility of 3 or 4 lines (or more?) of tabs. This appears to be a long-running debate (see bug 25165 and related) but it would certainly be a nice option for those of us whom are mouse-centric and find the "<" and ">" buttons too cumbersome. I know the "switch editor" view addresses this to some extent, but it complicates things unnecessarily by forcing users to open another view.
incorrectly assigned to 2.1.1...updated to 3.0.
How do you feel about the current (3.0 or 3.0.1) way things work?
Has this been implemented? Because I haven't seen an option for this yet... I do like the (new?) CTRL+E option where the list of open editors pops up - though I would prefer to see the entries listed in alphabetical order by file name (ignoring path). I have been using CTRL+F6 and CTRL+SHIFT+F6 to cycle through the editors but it seems strange that the implementation differs from the CTRL+E in that a different widow appears listing the editors. Seems like the cycle commands should cycle through the same list as CTRL+E displays. But all said, I really don't care for the ">>N" signifier for other editor tabs as I prefer to see all my editors at one glance with the full file name displayed. It really annoys me to have "..." in the tab title, with enough tabs open you can't tell which one is MyClass.java or MyClassImpl.java beceause they both say "MyCl..." assuming they are both displayed. If implemented, it would be nice to have the cycle keys cycle the highlight through the tabs instead of the list and display the full file name (with path) in a hover if needed. This isn't a huge deal to me, its a "nice to have" not a "gotta have" kind of feature. I use Eclipse both professionally and for my personal work at home so the lack of this feature hasn't stopped me. Its also obvious from the CC: list a lot of others are not clamoring for the feature, but I would appreciate seeing it implemented. Heck, if you guys decide not to implement it then point me to where you think is the best place to start. Maybe I'll try hacking something up, it's been on my TODO list long enough, that may spur me on. I experience the same issue you guys deal with, you've got to prioritze the features for each release, so I understand.
Okay... I think I misunderstood when I first read this. This bug is actually a duplicate of Bug 28722. Please append your comments there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28722 ***
