Tab Issues

Post by any1 »

1:
Double-clicking a tab will close it.
Is there an option to disable this?

2:
Switch tabs: Next-Previous / Right-Left.
But no matter which I choose, it always performs Next-Previous.
Is there anything else I should check?

1. See manual setting "TabOptionsMDI".
2. Not reproduced. Can you send/upload AkelPad folder?

Thank you for "TabOptionsMDI".

I cleared the registry entry and emptied the folder. Ran it with only AkelPad.exe. But I still didn't get what I expected. So I'm thinking if I misunderstood about the two commands.

Please let me know if my understanding is correct about this:
Right-Left means that when I close a tab, the Left tab will be activated, rather than the Previous tab.

No. Right-Left only affect for Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab. Closing current tab always activate previous tab independently of Right-Left or Next-Previous option.

OK, I see. Thanks.

To all,
Am I the only one who wants Right-Left Closing?

Is there any shortcut keys for minimizing/maximizing the tabs :?:

All current shortcuts/hotkeys are listed in the User's Manual (the CHM one, Appendix C), but I might be unclear as to what you are trying to do.

AkelPad runs only in two modes - SDI (single document) and MDI (or PMDI, multiple documents, tabbed mode). In SDI mode, documents are minimized/maximized with the application. In PMDI mode, individual documents are opened in tabs, but as simulated windows. When AkelPad is put into MDI (true Windows multiple document interface), then (and only then) can individual documents be minimized or maximized within the confines of AkelPad's client area (or tab control), etc. If there are any Windows shortcuts (i.e. accelerator keys) for individual files in the MDI, I don't know, but they would likely be applicable to all tabs, or maybe just the tab with the focus.

Unless you know of (or can find) keys which operate on the documents' minimize/maximize buttons, you will have to use those buttons for now.
