I think when we are working on a file lot of us take another file as example to do somethings.
When you're working on a very similar files you could make an error modifying the another file instead the file you're working as this time.
I miss one option to set a file in one tab as readonly to disable the modification on it's content.
Thx for read.

Re: Set file tab as readonly
I've most certainly screwed myself with this too. I usually just create a new blank file and copy the content of the "from" file into it and close the source file. About as fast as it would be to lock a doc, I imagine.
open the file
ctrl+a, ctrl+c, ctrl+w (select all, copy all, close doc)
ctrl+n, ctrl+a, ctrl+v (new doc, select all, paste over selection)
I just tried it and I'm guessing <2 seconds.

Re: Set file tab as readonly
I do this the same way as syrupcore has descriped ... nevertheless I think this would be a cool feature.
Why?
- because it would be faster (just Alt+Left Mouse on the tab as in Firefox with Tab Mix Plus - Tab locked)
- because, you would see the original filename ... not Document 1* -> with more than one file opened (in more complex projects) the original filename helps much more
- because ctrl+n adds the new tab not next to the current tab - it's put at the end of the list -> more files, more time to reorder!
Why not?
- not that high priority - workarrounds (as mentioned) exist
- maybe problems with files opened via (s)ftp
However, +1 from me
