Re: [gedit-list] Switching of tabs with Ctrl+Tab and "internal recency list"

[renergy <adam purkrt net>]

Steve,

thanks for the reply. I'm not shouting - only in the first post I was a bit.

Anyway, one question only - repeated - have you ever tried an editor with
recency list?

Again and again, hammering the same point - It's really a convenient
feature, for many people, as far as I can tell.

Yet again, my main point isn't occupying yours and according to you almost
everybody's beloved widget-switching Ctrl+Tab key combination with my
"heretic" recency-aware tab switching.

My main point is just the implementation of recency switching into gedit
(and GNOME in more general) by default. Bound to some different key than my
beloved Ctrl+Tab if it can't be otherwise.

I am just trying to extend the editor, in a good way I'd say.


All the best,

Adam


PS: In the recent past, I've discovered File Browser pane extension. Very
convenient.
