[Geany] sort tabs
Hi Is it possible to have the file tabs ordered alphabetically? I'm still struggling to find a good way to manage open files, the documents sidebar is nice but can't be onscreen at the same time as the symbols sidebar. The file tabs rapidly fill up the available space, moving them to the side fixes that, but once you have a couple of dozen finding any particular one is hard.

Hi, Agree with using tabs at the side, but no they are not sortable (at least not by program). The tabs are reorderable by dragging, and you can't mix manual and automatic ordering, so GTK chose manual.

Well, mixing full-time automatic ordering with manual ordering would be a problem, but there could be some command to do a one-time sort, which would still be helpful for some users with tons of open files. If not built in to Geany, then perhaps this could be a plugin or something. Another possibility (though probably more work, and Yet Another Setting) would be to have full-time automatic ordering be a user preference.

Hi, Yes a one-shot menu item would be a mere matter of programming, but somebodys got to do it, patches are welcome.

G This sounded easy enough to quickly do in a plugin, and was. Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/3824677 It disables tab reordering when loaded and sorts all open(ed) document tabs by display name alphabetically. When it's unloaded, it re-enables tab reordering so you can do it manually again. Compile and install using instructions on Geany's Plugin How To page. P.S. I wrote and tested the plugin in about 30 minutes so it might have some bugs or something but it seems to Work Fine For Me.
