Hi all,
Rekittke, Thomas said in "[Eap-features] some ideas":
"Just some ideas...
* provide the tabs for the sourcefiles with a (little tiny) close-button (yeah, like in Eclipse), so you can close a file with just a mouse-click instead of right-click + left-click."
My 2 pence:
This has been requested on these lists before. The problem is that some people argue that it will take up valuable screen real-estate. Others argue it will make selecting tabs more difficult because you have to make sure you concentrate in order to place the mouse pointer on the tab and not the little button. I personally like the eclipse solution. But if this is to be solved in a way that would suit everyone I suggest the following:
Keep the tab as it is with a right-click menu for closing all/all but current etc. The difference would be that a simple right-click closes the editor (allows you to simply and quickly go along the tabs closing selected editors in one click but without taking up screen real-estate with a tiny button). To display the menu and select a menu item other than close (such as close all but current or close all) you simply right-click and hold the mouse button while dragging the mouse to the required menu item. Letting go of the button over the item selects it. I have seen something like this implemented in AnyJ and it is strange at first but extremely useful once you get used to it.
What do others think about this?
Thanks
Scott Curtis
