Description brunetton 2008-10-09 10:09:50 UTC
Hi all, 

I'm a Ruby developper, maybe this info should help.
When working or debugging, I often lunch my program after a little change on code. The standard output is shown in the
"versioning output" panel. I don't really understand why, but a tab is created nearly each time I modify my code (even
when I just change code indentation). I don't know if I'm the only, but I quickly get more than 20 tabs containing old
information that I've read and that I don't need now.
This is very long to close all tabs by hand, and there is no actual keyboard shortcut to close one tab; there is ?

I think there should be an option for the versioning output to change that behaviour, like : «one tab for each file»
(this is not very clear, but we sould find)

In addition, I think this would be very usefull to have a «close other tabs» in the context menu of a tab.

Thanks for reading
