Stacked Tabbing
Hello C::B team,
Would it be possible to provide an alternate method to Document Tab switching?
Currently when a user presses [Ctrl+Tab] the next document in the open document list is displayed, while [Shift+Ctrl+Tab] will switch focus to the previous document. It's a simple and widely used form of document tabbing, but it proves to be very cumbersome if there are a number of open documents present.
An elegant solution to the problem is a form of stacked tabbing, very much like task switching in the windows environment. In this system each time [Ctrl+Tab] is pressed the last document you accessed is displayed. To access the second to last document one only needs to hold [Ctrl] and tap [Tab] twice.
Typically while holding the [Ctrl] key down the stack of open documents is displayed. This allows the user to navigate up or down through the stack of documents with [Tab] or [Shift+Tab]
I believe the addition of stacked tabbing will surely assist in easing the transition from the VC IDE's to C::B - not to mention enhancing the keyboard accessibility of the C::B IDE.
