Improve document tabs, layout, features, styling

已回答

All of jetbrains ide's suffer from an awful tabbar implementation, literately worse than vscode currently, and that is only because vscode  practically requires the end user to have the explorer sidebar opened and in view to work with various documents.

Ideally the intellij tabbar would use space more efficiently instead of having tabs that are like the entire tabbar width just to display the filename text of 'dropme.cs' (see below for a ridiculous example of wasted pixel screenspace with jetbrains ide's poor multiline tabbar, an example of chewing up screenspace height to show 4tabbars in what should only 2tabbars !)  .. words cannot describe how retarded that is to see, let alone work with!!.. then you look the other multiline tabbars, and see how good tab styling, and pixel space usage can be vastly better to show not only the file icon+filename but also squeeze more tabs onto each multiline tabbar.

These should be user customizable settings for specifying the absolute minimum width a tab can be shrunk down to before forcing further opened documents onto a new line.. And also maximum width, though this should really just be at most the length of the filename text.  Even padding widths between file icon, file text etc and the tab graphic borders shouldn't be so 2-4pixels max imo.. it's a waste of pixel space otherwise, that doesn't improve anything, and just means you'll end up with another multiline tabbar appearing sooner with less tabs on display.

I don't get why this even has to be described in detail as to how this should look and work.. software development in the ux area shouldn't be this retarded that you can't get decent designers to have done this already.. it's not like there isn't plenty of other programs out, that have demonstrated how to do this properly, that you can go in and use..

Here is a picture comparison of a few tabbars from various programs..... 

 

 

1.Firefox (tweaked custom theme, pre-firefox quantum version garbage, was highly customizable and great before)

2.Notepad++ - screenshot of earlier version when the tabbar wasn't so messed up, showing a total of 39 documents!!.. this s is bare minimum vscode should support, why vscode has an awful user experience for the tabbar? While long established code editors like notepad++ have been out for a long time with far better support in this area.

3.Jetbrains Rider - Awful tab styling and waste of space styling, but at least supports multiple tabbars. 4 tabbars for just 24 tabs :/ compared to notepad++ ..pretty bad, start losing codeview space and available pixel height is more important!!! 

4.Vscode with it's fat padding bloated tabbar that barely shows around 9 open documents compared to notepad++ on the tabbar before going off the screen.. really rubbish design... and practically forces you to have the explorer sidebar bar opened losing even more screenspace in the code editor to have any sort usable workflow in hopping between documents..

Hi.

I upvoted it as that would be better than how it currently, though I do think more could be done to improve the tabs then just that suggestion.
