questions about tabs

[nuser]

Hi, all, I have 2 question about tabs.
1, Is it possible to rearrange the order of tabs?
2, can I assign a shortcut (Ctrl+W) or mouse double-clicking to 'close tab', which are general operations of some Tab-based browsers (firefox, etc.).

2: Just bind "close-buffer" to Ctrl+W;

Try this to get your dblclick to close tab function:

open bufftabs.e;
find the "static int mou_tabid()" function;
add these codes after the "location = _xyHitTest( new_x, new_y );" line:

Code: [Select]

   // Ding Zhaojie Start:
   if (location == SSTAB_LSCROLLBUTTON_CLICKED || location == SSTAB_RSCROLLBUTTON_CLICKED) {
      return(-2); // click @ scroll button
   }
   // Ding Zhaojie End.
add these function to the end of file:

Code: [Select]

/**
 * Handles the left mouse button dbl_click & mbutton up event.
 * Dbl/MBTN Click @ file tabs: Close clicked file buffer.
 * Dbl/MBTN Click @ the blank space of the File Tabs toolbar: Create a new empty buffer.
 * Dbl/MBTN Click @ tabs scroll button: Do nothing.
 *

void ctlsstab1.lbutton_double_click, mbutton_up()
{
   // get the current tab id
   int tabi = mou_tabid();
   if (tabi < 0) {
      clicked_tabid = -1;
      if (tabi != -2) {
         // Click @ blank space, create a new file.
         new_file();
      }
      return;
   }
   // Close clicked buffer.
   clicked_tabid = tabi;
   buff_menu_close("");
}
reload bufftabs.e

thanks a lot. Ding.
Seems a little complicated. I will try.

Sweet!

Works beautifully.  Thank you for this little hack.

Remember to back up your changes to SlickEdit-provided files.  When you patch or upgrade, you'll need to re-apply your changes.
That's what makes the event handlers so powerful (but there probably isn't a hook for clicking on file tabs).
