Description Murray Cumming 2008-04-23 12:01:31 UTC 
When I have several files open, I often want to switch between them without finding the file again in the "Files" tree, because that takes a long time. The standard GtkNotebook doesn't make this easy when there are many tabs.

For instance, gedit has a Document menu which lists all the tabs/documents that are open. Epiphany has a Tabs menu that does the same thing.

Firefox has a drop-down list of tabs at the right of its notebook header. Eclipse has something similar, though in its own strange Eclipse UI way. Obviously, an improved GtkNotebook would probably be the best solution for gedit, Epiphany, Anjuta and other applications.

Right-Click on the notebook brings up a popup-menu with all open files. Doesn't that fit for you?
Comment 2 Murray Cumming 2008-04-23 13:14:20 UTC 
Thanks, that's useful. It's totally non-discoverable though.

Also, the file names are centered in the menu, which is odd.

There is a new "Documents" menu line in gedit in trunk now. The popup-menu shouldn't display centered menu items anymore (might be useful to change this behaviour in GtkNotebook).

Like in gedit, there are keyboard shortcuts for going to next/prev document and also to go to a numbered document (1-10).

Many thanks.
