I'll reply to this briefly, as this has been debated up one side and down the other...
Creator essentially has tabs, but they're presented as a drop-down menu instead of tabs. It's similar to what Xcode does, though slightly better in my opinion. Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab (Option instead of Ctrl on Mac) switches between open documents. Using tabs instead of this dropdown is less scalable; you can only fit a few tabs horizontally across the width of the window before you run out of space and either have to scroll, elide filenames, or both, and don't forget it has to share space with the other widgets sharing that bar along the top. The dropdown allows the interface to remain consistent and elegant even when you have many, many documents open. /s/ Adam Higerd On 7/14/09, Ilyes Gouta <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > Multi Tab editing is now the de-facto standard way for developers to > edit their code on numerous IDEs, and it would be really nice to have > it in QtCreator too. > > AutoHide, is for the lower build (compiler messages) window to > "auto-hide" as soon as the developer's mouse cursor leaves the said > window as soon as the compilation finishes.
