How to select a tab for a file with multiple editor providers

Hello Dan,

I have a file which is accepted by several providers, hence the
editors will show as distinct tabs at the bottom.

Is there a way to select one of these editors programmatically? I
didn't find out how.

No, there is no API for this. JIRA issue is welcome.

Additionally I found that the FileEditorState is not restoring the
"selected tab" state, it always opens the tab of the first provider.
What can I possibly do wrong here?

The FileEditorState cannot store the selected tab state, because it's a state
of a single editor and not of the entire tabbed editor stack. IDEA can store
the selected tab separately - one more JIRA issue is welcome for that.

Hello Dmitry,

many thanks for the feedback. Have created http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-22628 and http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-22629.
I solved my problem with some ugly workarounds, but a proper api solution for this would be welcome.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,
