Feature Request: Re-open auto-closed files
In PhpStorm, there is a configuration setting for auto-closing files (tabs), when a certain count has been exceeded. This is often a source of consternation amongst the community of developers that I am a part of and interact with. To that end, a feature request.
When files/tabs get auto-closed, a list should be created/maintained of said files and, when the open file/tab count goes below the configured number, then the file(s) that were previously auto-closed should be re-opened in reverse order, until the max file/tab count is met.
This should, of course, only apply to auto-closed files, not ones that have been manually closed. It should also have an enable/disable configuration option, for better control of personal workflow. There should also be a way to purge the auto-closed maintenance/memory file.

Hi there,
1. Why not just increase the limit if you do not like auto-closing policy?
2. Some people work with a single tab only (so no actual tabs are shown at all) and rely on "Navigate | File/Class" or "View | Recent" lists
3. In any case -- please use Issue Tracker to fill actual bug reports / feature requests. I personally doubt that some special list will be implemented for this.
1) Because Java already runs high in memory, and increasing the limit would exacerbate that a lot (I've played with that, as have others that I've spoken with)
2) Yes, that is another option for some, but not for anyone I work with (if only life were that good).
3) The Issue Tracker redirected me here, but I appreciate your suggestion. I'll give it another try.
