Coming Soon: Tabbed Editing
Posted by mbo Mon, 08 Jan 2007 15:22:00 GMT
In the wake of Macworld news we are proud to announce that the upcoming release of SubEthaEdit will feature tabbed editing. Finally, you can reduce screen clutter by keeping several documents in a single window by enabling this new feature. Watch the teaser to get a first impression. The tabbed editing-enabled SubEthaEdit will ship in a few weeks.
Great news guys! Can't wait for this.
Best news I've heard all year. By which I mean the past 365.2425 days, not the past 8 days. I am hoping the tabs will look different, but they could be lime on #ff00ff for all I care as long as they're there.
It is extremely satisfying that you're finally getting along to providing a tab implementation, and a solid, rearrangable one at that.
Exciting! Can't wait to get a bit more organized. Just make sure there are hotkeys to switch between tabs. A firefox like apple+1-5 would be really sweet to go to a specific tab instead of just the typical cycling. Thanks!
Exciting indeed. There is no other editor on OS X with an interface as good as SubEthaEdit's. I welcome this addition, and eagerly await its release.
Any chance we can get Leopard Tabs? (The kind we see today in Mail.app and the kind demoed in new iChat? Also in use in Colloquoy currently)
Let us switch between tabs using key commands, please.
How will this work with mutli-users? Will they have to connect to each document or can you set that by window group?
Wow, these look great. I'd like to second the tab appearance change (more like Safari would make me smile) as well as keyboard access, but again, the functionality just rocks. You guys are fantastic, and so is SubEthaEdit, for what it's worth.
Ew! I hate tabs in text editors. They just don't belong there! Whenever you code, you end up with a bazillion windows, anyway, and it's nigh impossible to find the right one by just reading text labels one at a time. No, what an editor really needs is a hierarchial visualization of the file tree where the files reside, and back/forward history buttons, and automatic hyperlinks to relevant documents (like to the interface definition file for the currently selected class/symbol). I wish someone would make an editor like that... Oh, XCode! (I easilly get agitated when I'm in a code editor that doesn't have back/forward buttons...)
THAT is a great feature to HELP developpers. I would love that.
I would second to adopt the look of the new ichat or mail, it allows to add some visual informations about the file
and of course, a File view in a lateral pane would be very efficient to manage a folders of html files or php projects, for example.
Excellent! The tab implementation looks very cool. Can't wait to use it!!
Great to hear that! Sometimes the window clutter just gets out of control.
We hope to tackle project contexts (probably in a sidebar, hence the horizontal tab layout) as one of the next big issues once we have the tab implementation out of the door.
As far as keyboard shortcuts go the current implementation does support cycling (⌘{ and ⌘}) and direct access (⌘1 through ⌘0).
And for those hating tabs, the implementation is completely unobtrusive and not noticeable if turned off in the preferences.
Is that PSMTabs? :)
It's based on it.
YEAH!
I hate to be the one beating a dead horse, but are there any plans to implement code folding? This is, to me, a major missing feature...
