[TxMt] how do you close excess tabbed files?

[Sam Andrews]

i often work with pretty bloated projects, and the tabs don't really work for 
me, either.  my personal preference would be for a list of active files 
displayed in the drawer - so split the drawer between that and the project file 
list, as shown in this mockup:

to further extend the functionality of this view, it might be desirable to 
indicate some basic metadata for open files such as last saved, number of 
bookmarks (useful if you use bookmarks to track your to-do items) and so forth. 
i think the spotlight-esque filter as xavier proposed could also be very useful.

perhaps the option to display file like this could be toggled as a preference at 
a per-project level, or automatically implement itself when there are too many 
tabs (although i think that could be a pretty confusing user experience).
