Hello,
Is it possible to arrange tabs with file names into multiple lines? I often have dozens of files open and it really becomes annoying to switch between them.
So, instead of (fixed width :)
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---- | file1 | file2 | file3 | file4 | >>> +-------+-------+-------+-------+----
it would be nice to see:
+-------+-------+-------+-------+ | file1 | file2 | file3 | file4 | +-------+-------+-------+-------+ | file5 | file6 | file7 | +-------+-------+-------+
Here's a screenshot of what I have in mind with multiple lines (the first screenshot that I have found; used in another context, but nevertheless): http://www.emeditor.com/images/emeditor7_virtual_space.png
Thanks a lot, Mojca

No. (And it would make for an icky GUI, so I don’t expect it will be coming; The drawer is perfectly good at showing a large list of files.)
Have you tried ⌘T?

If you consider that solution ugly: what about the feature that firefox has for example? If one has too many tabs open, it's possible to slide through the line with tabs.

Not until now. Now I did. It is not what I am looking for, though it is definitely helpful.
If that feature is unlikely to come, maybe another question: - One is usually able to move a tab to the desired location (for example to move a tab wit open file from end to beginning), but how do I work with tabs (open files) that are out of scope? For example to move the tab/file from end to beginning?
Thanks, Mojca

If it is out of scope, you can’t move it. There has been a lot of feedback related to tabs, and next major update will see some changes here. One change is that any file opened will always appear/move to the right of the curent tab. This works _extremely_ well to always keep the hot set of tabs visible, I think this will compensate for lack of multi-line tabs etc.
