Next time you're working on uVision, would you PLEASE put a timer on the Ctrl+Tab handler such that if the interval between events is longer than X, it only toggles between the last two tabs viewed?
Thanks, -RW
( if this is already available but I simply haven't found how to enable it, nevermind )
Without it, you have to cycle through all the open tabs during the aforementioned operations, which becomes very tedious. when I inherit projects there, almost invariable, are more "open tabs" than the tabline can hold.
WHY ON EARTH do so many people have tabs for files they do not currently work on?
I routinely close tabs when changing what I work on in a project.
the above problem could be solved by closing all tabs save the two in use.

Andrew,
It is farely common, and is a big time saver when you're doing a lot of stare-n-compare or cut-n-paste between two mondules. Operations like this usually have both hands on the keyboard and the simple Ctrl-Tab ( via timing constraint ) confined to the last two modules speeds up work tremendously.

Just a thought.
A number of editors allows you to press Alt+W (Window) and then 2 (second-from-top) to instantly switch between the two topmost windows. Obviously only working if the window menu gets constantly resorted based on focus depth.
But lots of editors using tabs makes life a pain for the user.
Is this a common feature in other editors?
