Tab-related feature requests

[Pete-110]

Hiya-

Two feature requests related to tabs:

It'd be handy to have some optional policies that placed new tabs to  
the right of the current tab or at the end of all the tabs.  The  
current alphabetical approach leads to lots of unnecessary shuffling  
past files sometimes.

Also, it'd be super-cool to have a dialog like Open From Project that  
just list the current editor tabs.  I often want to switch around b/w  
a few open files (esp. on small screen laptop) & i haven't found a  
fast way to do that from the keyboard.

More cowbell! ~= s/cowbell/keyboard/

This is in our plans and will likely become the default method of
ordering tabs.

Currently, the way to do this is via switch-document command, which is
Ctrl-x b in emacs and ctrl-k ctrl-s in visual studio.  We may also
implement a variant of the open from project dialog for this.

Thanks,

I always have way too many tabs open as well and would much prefer the
"most recent on the right" approach.

For switching between recent tabs I use ctrl-tab for this in Wing (and
many other applications) and don't ever recall having to configure it.
In 90% of tabbed applications I come across, Ctrl-tab is to tabs what
alt-tab is for applications.
