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

I agree, we definitely need better support for multiple views in kdev. Patches welcome :)
The related Bug 419380 lists default keyboard shortcuts to switch between views: Ctrl+Shift+N and Ctrl+Shift+P.
