Move the tabs in the editor?

Hi,
Would it be possible to enable us to be able to reposition the tabs in the editor?
If I have a number of code windows open at the same time, it would be really useful to be able to drag them into a different order. See the text editor "NoteTab" for an example of this
Cheers,
Jim

Is this being implemented? It would be a great, useful feature
Especially if you are managing multiple projects in PureBasic, I'd like to open a file and then position over where related files are.

Didn't even know that existed. haha thanks
But yes, it would be a lot nicer to be able to drag and drop, like tabs in webbrowsers, which was what I was implying when I first posted

This is a very basic but powerful feature. Still wondering why it's missing.

Yeah, right. Hitting the "Up" button a million times if you want your last source to be on top so much fun :roll:

Yes, so can I, but it's still not the same

So much faster and nicer to drag and drop the titles.
That would be a great feature too

But still not the same. I'd like to have similar program files next to eachother. Or what about a project option and then have a dropdown box. Depending on what project you select from the dropdown the respective files are shown.

Because
"by default features don't exist".
The standard API does not provide a way to do this (at least on Windows), and implementing it manually is quite some work especially if it should work properly on the range of Windows versions that PB supports with themes on/of etc etc. The bottom line is, we have our hands full and this feature simply isn't enough of a priority to be worth the hassle.

What about the project idea?

if not by drag'n'drop, you could at least have two menu entries for "shift current source right" and "...left", so one can put two icons in the toolbar that do the same as the "up" and "down" buttons in the dialog but are quicker to access.
