Document Tabs



The document tabs provide an easy means of switching between multiple documents.  Simply click on the tab associated with the document you want to see.





Double clicking a tab closes the associated document.  This behavior can be turned off using the Close Tab on Double Click option described below.

A special tab with left and right arrows appears as the far right tab when there are more tabs present than can be displayed at once.  Clicking the arrows scrolls the tabs left and right to bring unseen tabs into view.  

Pressing the Control key and the Tab key at the same time switches focus from the current tab to the tab immediately to the right of the current tab.  Pressing the Control key, Shift key, and the Tab key at the same time switches focus from the current tab to the tab immediately to the left of the current tab.

The order of the tabs can be quickly changed by using the mouse to drag and drop a tab to a new position.

Focus can be moved directly to a document associated with any tab, even a tab not currently within view, by right clicking on the row of tabs and selecting the desired document name in the popup menu.  The popup menu lists all open documents.  Documents which have unsaved changes are designated with a special symbol ( ) shown next to them in the popup menu list.

The document tabs popup menu also provides the following actions and options:

Go to First Tab:  Switch focus to the document associated with the first tab.

Go to Last Tab:  Switch focus to the document associated with the last tab.

Move Current Tab:  Move the currently active tab to either the first position, last position, the position immediately to the left, or the position immediately to the right.

Large Tabs:  Check this option to increase the size of the tabs.

Close Tab on Double Click:   Allows documents to be closed by double clicking on their associated tabs.  Uncheck this option if you find yourself accidentally double clicking tabs when you do not want to close a document.  Documents can also be closed by clicking the Close button on the File Tools panel or by selecting the Close item in the document popup menu.
