Hi.
I have a good idea to an IDEA improvement.
The feature in IDEA to specify how many editor tabs to keep open is cool,
but it could be even better with the following 2 options:
An option that told IDEA to give priority to edited (and possibly checked
out and project) files, so that it closed unchanged (and non-project) files
first.
An option that forced IDEA to keep edited files open even if this went above
limit for max. open files. This would solve some of the problems with
remembering to check in edited files.


Reason: Because of IDEA's extreme ease of code navigation, I tend to use
this very heavily to jump around and look at implementations of various
methods (also in Java SDK source and other core packages). But it bothers me
that I hit my limit of 15 open tabs very fast , and IDEA starts closing
those files that I am actually working on. 

It is also slightly bothersome that these files that have only been opened
for a 30 second view become part of the <ctrl><alt><left> cycling of recent
files.

I hope my explanation is clear enough.

Regards Jan Krag
