Using the tabbed document interface

A tabbed document interface in all environments lets you view and switch easily between all of your open document windows. Two different context menus plus tab controls are available.

• You can drag the tabs to change the display order of documents in the tab list bar.

• When you right-click a document tab (1), you can choose from commands for creating new windows and closing document windows.

  For more information, see Close open documents.

  The following commands are also available:

  • Open Containing Folder—Opens the directory of the currently selected file in Windows Explorer.

  • Copy Full Path—Copies the path of a selected file to the clipboard so that you can quickly navigate to the parent directory.  

• When you right-click the tab list bar (2), you can choose commands for arranging, collapsing, and restoring windows.

  For more information, see Arrange open documents, Collapse all windows, and Restore all windows.

• When you have many documents open, or when you have the same document open in multiple windows, you can:

  • Display the next and previous documents using the right and left arrow controls shown in the following image.

  • Scroll through the open document tabs using the mouse wheel .

  To learn how to do this, see Switch to another open document.
