Development 2/25
Just a short tidbit from work last night.
I finally switched Edit over to a different document tab control that seems to be much improved. It has the following improvements from the previous:
1. It looks better :) It has the same look and feel as the rest of the toolbar and menu items.
2. Allows for tab reordering. You can now drag tabs into different positions within the tab list.
3. No flicker when clicking. Now when you click a tab there will not be any of the current flicker where windows min/max or whatever it is that they do currently.
4. Intelligent Ctrl+Tab switching. Ctrl+Tab will now switch documents more like VS in that it Ctrl+Tab will go back to last document and not just cycle through documents. We try to see if this can be user customizable so that it can be turned off and have Ctrl+Tab work like in VS (which will be the default)
Kind of a minor change, but should reduce the current annoyance that is caused when you click on a tab to switch documents along with adding the additional features.
