The Best of Visual Studio 2010: Insert Documents to the Right of Existing Tabs

  • Articolo

Menu:  Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Documents
Versions:  2010
Published:  2/10/2010
Code:  vstipEnv0001

 

Now, by popular demand, Visual Studio 2010 comes with the option to put newly opened documents in the File Channel to the RIGHT of existing tabs.  This has been a long requested feature and it is finally here!

Just go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Documents and select the "Insert documents to the right of existing tabs" option.

You should now see any tabs you open pop up the RIGHT of all the other tabs:

    I always wondered why the tabs were inserting to the left when so many other tabbed interfaces do new tabs to the right (such as web browsers, etc)... this will bring much peace!

    This is great!  What I would really love, though is a return of the MRU ordering option that was available in VS 2005 and 2008.  Once you got used to working with it, it was the best!

    There are so many "preferred" ways to handle tabs, the only real solution is for someone to write an extension that lets each user pick exactly how they want their tabs to work. Except then you'd be chained to that extension forever, adding "just one more" tweak. Personally, I want fixed-width tab names so the close button is always in the same place, for when I want to close 5 tabs in a row, and tab groups that put .ccp and .h files on a single tab (WndTabs, anyone?), and the ability to colorize the tabs by type. Your options will certainly differ. But please include my preferred options in your extension when you write it! =)

    You can count on Microsoft putting in those nice, common-sense features by the 3rd or 4th version.
