I'm using eclipse galileo. Is it possible to display the tabs of my open files on several lines instead of using the >> sign. I still want a unique window to view the code though.
If there is no such settings, do any plugin exists ?
No.
Bug 58945: CTabFolder should support multi row and vertical style options, opened since 2004! (other bugs exist on the same topic)
(Update Feb. 2017: it seems to be assigned, with Oxygen 4.7 as target!
Thank you specializt for mentioning that in the comments)
CTRL+F6 is one workaround for now.
Other "workarounds" are listed in this thread:
- turn on the "close editors automatically" option (preferences > General > editors), which will close editors automatically when the limit is reached an a new editor is to be opened.
- make use of multiple windows each with a set of editors for areas you are editing or browsing or searching
- CTRL+Shift+W to close all tabs quickly
As mention by Big Chair in the comments:
Someone made a workaround here: "Eclipse multiple tab rows"
Wes explains:
I've discovered that while it is true that you cannot have multiple rows of tabs for the same code-space, it is possible to have multiple rows of tabs showing on your window at the same time:
To accomplish this, simply drag a tab up to your title bar and release. It will create another row of tabs.
ctrl+shift+e gives a nice dialog with all open windows. ctrl+e gives the "quick" version of this dialog.
I found this plugin, which lists all open windows in a separate tab, and lets you open windows with a single click:
As far as I know, there is neither such setting nor plug-in (at least freely available). But if there is, I'd like to be corrected.
The Open-Editor plugin does it. But it has issue.
