Description Erno Mononen 2007-12-14 12:04:53 UTC 
Currently it is not possible to set a limit for how many editor tabs there can be open at one time. Due to this I often 
find myself having dozens of open windows and then have to manually close the ones that are no longer needed to keep 
things manageable. It would be nice if there was an option for optionally setting the limit - then the IDE would take 
care of automatically closing the least used once the limit is reached. In combination with a recent documents list, 
that would show both open and recently closed documents, as in IDEA, I think it would be a significant improvement over 
the current situation.
