Description j22gim 2020-12-31 14:09:29 UTC

When working with many tabs, it is a pain to scroll through them until you find the one you want, because this process is done sequentially sideways. This means that if you have 15 open tabs and you are at the 14th and want to go to the 2nd, you have to move through the 13, 12, 11, etc tabs until you get to nr 2. If one or more of the tabs have a directory with thousand of files for example, it will take a while until the directory is read and then you can move to the following tab.

This could be greatly improved by adding a drop-down list of currently open tabs, such as the one in Firefox and Excel.

It consists of a button, usually a up or down arrow, located for example at the right of the "add tab" button, or anywhere near the tabs titles. 

When this button is pressed, the user sees a list of all currently open tabs in that panel. While this drop-down list is open, the user can just click on any open tab and go directly to that one.

This makes so much easier to navigate through open tabs, and at the same time gives a much better overview of the open tabs in case there are some that are not being used anymore, etc.

Thanks

Also missing such feature like quick list of opened tabs. Please add also search in the beginning of that quick tabs list. When having many tabs opened, search is always useful and needed. Actually you can use BookMan II source code and adapt it to fit being tabs list.
Currently this missing feature reduces usability of Krusader.
Using Krusader v2.8.0 and checked also https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/krusader/krusader/folder-tabs.html but didn't find any guidance about list of tabs with search.
