In Eclipse, can I view the files I currently have open in a vertical stack instead of a horizontal one?

I would find it much easier if the tabs show which files are in the Editor were stacked vertically rather than horizontally. Stacked开发者_运维百科 horizontally means that you run out of room to display file names very fast and makes switching between files time consuming.

Is there an option or a plugin to display the files vertically? (Similar to navigator, but for open files instead of project files) I can't seem to find one.

tabs can not be stacked vertically. However, CTRL+E (⌘+E on mac) might give you some relief.

Eclipse 3.8

CTRL+G brings up an Editors dialog as shown in this screen capture:

Eclipse 4.3

CTRL+E brings up the pop-up shown in this screen capture:

With ctrl+shift+e you can open an extra window that show you the open tabs vertically.

EditorViewer is very good The project is dead, but it works fine with Eclipse 3.7. Just drop the .jar file in the dropins folder

Another command is CTRL+F6 not entirely like the other ones but great to switch between your two most recent tabs. And you also get a list of open tabs like the other examples.

you can always drag windows over each other to tile them vertically but if you see a ">>" at the end of the tabs clicking on it gives a file list which are open.

None that I know of, but there are some other tipps to make life a little easier:

1) Use Mylyn, which filters the Explorer-Views so only relevant files are shown there.

2) Have a look at "Extended VS Presentation" http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html . This little plugin adds some useful features to reduce waste of screenspace. With it you can hide the file extension in editor tabs or limit the size of each tab and reduce the padding. Then you can remove the X and close tabs with a middle click. Each just a small saving, but they add up.

For newer versions of Eclipse, there is a plugin Open Editors which adds a view listing all open editors.

Finally a true relief!

Install dragging the "install" button from
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/vertical-tab-list

to show it
"window / show view / browsing / editors list"

On its internal menu I selected too: Sort by ext+name

Now I just need a way to hide the top tabs list and it will become perfect!
