Its a tad bit buggy wrt. to the order, presumably because signals from the shell are emitted at the wrong time, but its a list thats relatively quick to navigate even with many files.

I didn't know about that feature.. Damnit. Ctrl + Tab is really useful and it actually allows a quick navigation even using the mouse. Of course it would be nice to have that list sorted. Anyway I think my request has now become quite redundant. Removing the arrow as Milian suggested makes the button more nice looking. The review items are quite trivial to incorporate so maybe you guys just decide whether you'd like to have that feature merged. I would be perfectly happy with Ctrl + Tab :)

I think the time has come for a "Did you already know?" box in the welcome screen. There just too many hidden features in Kdevelop :)

Cheers,
André

This is a feature I miss from Visual Studio. I do know that it's redundant to the Documents view panel but I think it allows a quicker access to files - especially when a lot files are open in the IDE. As it is very small button I think it does no harm to users who don't want to use it.
