Settings:Application layout:File tabs:Operation

The Application layout » File tabs » Operation branch of Settings has the following options.

Dockable tabs

If selected, file tabs will be displayed in a dockable window that can be undocked and moved outside of the main application window, and arranged / resized as desired. If this option is NOT selected, files cannot be cascaded or tiled using the relevant Window tab commands.

Types

You can select one of three options related to how file tab overflow is displayed:

• Single line - scrollable
  File tabs will be displayed in a single row. When the file tabs for the number of files opened exceeds what can be displayed on a single line, left and right scroll arrows will be displayed at opposite ends of the tab row.
• Single line - drop down file list
  File tabs will be displayed in a single row. In this mode a list of currently open files may be accessed by clicking on the down arrow at the end of the tab row.
• Multiline
  File tabs will be displayed in multiple horizontal rows – as many as necessary so that all file tabs are visible.

Close tab button

You can select one of four options related to the display of the "x" close button for file tabs:

• None
  A close "x" is not displayed on any file tab.
• On tab bar
  The close "x" is displayed at the end of the file tab row. Click on this to close the active file. This option is disabled unless the Single line - drop down file list file tab type is selected above.
• On active tab
  The close "x" is displayed only on the active file tab.
• On all tabs
  The close "x" is displayed on all file tabs.
