Description Diggory Hardy 2013-08-06 08:26:56 UTC
When the editor view is split in kdevelop, two (or more) tab bars and drop-down menus to select files appear, one above each view. The Ctrl+Tab switcher, however, lists all "views" in a single list (potentially including the same file several times). I've been using this for a while and it constantly confuses me. What I think would be less confusing is:
1) each view in the split has it's own Ctrl+Tab list, and only the one for the active view is shown
2) a separate keyboard shortcut to switch between views is added (e.g. Meta+1,2,3,... or Alt+arrow keys)
3) (less important) the view with keyboard focus is visually highlighted in some way (other than the flashing cursor)

Just my two cents, but it would be really nice to see this in KDevelop!

Reproducible: Always
