Add "open tabs" drop down #12411

tsmaeder · 2023-04-13T14:42:58Z

What it does

Adds a drop down allowing to chose among open editors when there is too little space to show all open tabs. Also adds a fade-out effect for tab labels.

This is the second part of #12328

Contributed on behalf of STMicroelectronics

How to test

Make sure the scenarios from #12360 are still working O.K. Additionally, make sure the drop-down for the open editors appears and disappears in in the proper cases.

@tsmaeder do you mind resolving the conflicts?

tsmaeder · 2023-04-13T15:27:46Z

Hmh....something is broken. Stand by...

tsmaeder · 2023-04-13T15:40:26Z

Apparently, some stuff was broken when rebasing on the changes in the previous "dynamic tabs" PR. I'll fix and reopen the PR.

tsmaeder · 2023-04-14T09:37:41Z

Now ready for review.

Unfortunately this change seems to break the default tab behavior.
This is with workbench.tab.shrinkToFit.enabled set to false:

weird-tabs.mp4

In this case the dynamic tab styling should not be applied, and should behave like before.

minor: do we mean the close icon? I'm not aware of the "close box" which makes the documentation confusing.

I think the term "close box" is quite common for windows (at least Google thinks so). I had "close button" before, but the UI element is not really a button. An "Icon" feels more like describing the implementation, not the UI element, i.e. the "close icon" is the graphic element, whereas Windows used to have a minus-sign in its window close box.
If you still find it confusing, I can change it.

I believe we should stick with button (which I feel is more common) if we are to keep the comment else I'd remove it completely. I'm leaning towards removing the comment altogether, especially since theia-text-editor.test.ts which has a similar change to this one does not include one.

Thanks for catching this one: I am very bad at noticing visual details 🤷

vince-fugnitto

Unfortunately I've noticed a few regressions with this pull-request:

it is no longer possible to drag tabs and create split layouts
the bottom panel is incorrectly affected by the dynamic tab behaviour, is this intended?

The tab behaviour in the lower pane is intended. Having a look at the drag behaviour.

@vince-fugnitto I believe I got the scroll/resize behavior to be correct now and addressed your comments. Thanks for your patience with this PR.

fix: regression when dragging tabs has been fixed

vince-fugnitto

The changes look good to me 👍

the "open tabs" dropdown is correctly rendered, and displays the tabs for a given group
there are no regressions with the default behavior
there are no regressions with drag-and-drop to create special layouts

MatthewKhouzam · 2023-05-01T17:38:00Z

Could we have a video of the feature? It can help document it.

tsmaeder · 2023-05-02T09:16:36Z

@MatthewKhouzam yes we can!

What's the reason for only showing the open editors icon when shrink to fit is enabled and the window width is very narrow?

Shrink to fit enabled, small window, no icon.

A but smaller than the previous screen shot and now we get the icon.

Notice how the open settings icon is always there. Why don't we just always show the open editors icon to the left of the open settings icon? This is more of less what vscode does BTW.

Shrink to fit disabled - no way to see open editors.

msujew · 2023-10-16T13:55:08Z

@wpaul-samsung The reason probably was "it's out of scope of the PR". I would recommend you to open a new feature request to facillitate an actionable discussion.

Fair enough.

tsmaeder · 2023-10-16T16:39:14Z

Not sure if I remember this correctly, but I think the "regular" case is also reusing the default tab behavior from PhosphorJS, so changing anything about that might have been hard. But also: "out of scope"
