Custom Document Well

This extension allows users to change the behavior of their document tabs. Users can customize the behavior and look of the tabs via the Tools > Options dialog.

• Scrollable tabs Maintain spatial consistency of the documents that are included in the document well.
• Vertical tabs Document tabs are shown vertically, allowing you to fit more tabs than are normally visible when shown horizontally.
• Show close button in tab wellShow the close document button in the document well that will close the active tab, similar to Visual Studio 2008.
• Tab Behavior
  • More Commands for NavigationUsing Ctrl+Alt+Page Down and Page Up to navigate between tabs (including pinned) in visual order. Activate a specific pinned tab by Ctrl+Num Pad 1 through 0 Activate a specific regular tab by Ctrl+Alt+Num Pad 1 through 0
  • Sorting
    • Sort by most recently used Whenever a tab becomes active, it is moved to the left - such that all tabs will be sorted in most recently used order.
    • Sort tabs by project Tabs will be sorted by the project they belong to, thus keeping them always together in the document tab well.
    • Sort tabs alphabetically Tabs will be sorted alphabetically. When Sort By Project is turned on, tabs will be sorted first by project and then alphabetically.
• Tab UI
  • Color tabs according to their project or according to regular expressionsThis option permits tabs to be colored according to the project they belong to. This is particularly useful when sorting tabs by project, as it allows you to immediately identify different groups of project documents. You can also configure regular expressions and assign a color to each one. If the name of a tab matches the configured regular expression, it will be colored with the assigned color.
• Miscellenous options that modify the Tab UI
  • Show close button in tab
  • Modify dirty indicator styleThis option allows you to select from a set of different dirty indicators that you might prefer over the asterisk.
  • Modify minimum and maximum tab sizeAllows you to modify minimum and maximum tab size. Try setting minimum and maximum sizes to the same value, and you will have evenly spaced tabs.
