Tab improvements

[zuggsoft]

I'd like to see an X button added to each tab to allow closing a tab without switching to it.

Also, this is minor, but why is the font used on the tabs not using the default system font? It should be using at least Tahoma, but seems to be MS Sans Serif instead (which is horribly ugly these days). I use Delphi too (along with Dev Express) in my apps, and I know it's a simple property to set the font of the docking tabs. Hopefully that's a quick tweak for your next version.

You don't need to switch to tabs to close them - simply right click on a tab and click Close. You can also right click on a tab and press C on the keyboard. The Close menu option can also be assigned to a keyboard shortcut, so for example, you can simply press ALT + C to close the current tab.

The act of right-clicking a tab causes the editor to switch to that tab. However, it looks like it knows how to properly return to the previous tab after closing the window, so it's just more of a visual annoyance and certainly something I can live with for now. Maybe they can just change it so that right-clicking a tab doesn't select it.

Thats certainly what Firefox does, which is a good way of doing things.

On the subject of tabs, it would be nice to have these extra commands added, as in PSPad/Notepad++
-close all but current
-close to left/right

thanks for searching and adding to the previous thread sunwukung. If we had a point system, I'd give you some. ;)

When is the "Close All but Current" option going to be added - it's so simple yet it seems to have been a completely ignored suggestion. This is a no-brainer feature!!!

You can middle-click (or click your mouse wheel) to quickly close a tab, it doesn't change focus, and will ask you to save it if there have been any changes.
