Hello Florent, We will consider displaying a list with all the tabs on Ctrl+Tab in a future version. A tabs list seems less distracting if one switches between tabs by file name, not by file content or current editing location. Thank you for your request, Sorin Florent Georges wrote:
Hi,
Using Ctrl-Tab in oXygen, one can switch between the various open editor tabs. While keeping Ctrl pressed, N hits on Tab will show one after the other the next N tabs in the tab list order by last recently viewed.
By comparison, NetBeans and Safari behave a little bit differently. They do not actually change the editor tab until Ctrl is released, but they display a list with all the tabs instead. See the following screenshot:

I understand this is not good practice to change the interface of an application, but maybe this would be useful to add such a list in oXygen, even if the tabs continue to actually change each time Tab is pressed. I am used to have a huge amount of open tabs, and this list helps a lot to quickly figure out where is the tab I am looking for. This is very useful too when working with 4 or 5 files at the same time (for instance two XSLT modules, a schema module, a sample of input and a sample of output, and I don't even speak of XProc :-p.)
Kind regards,
