Currently, it’s only possible to open *one* file at a time from the project view (even though one can have multiple files open at the same time, in different tabs). So if one wishes to open, e.g., five files, one has to: Step 1: Click on first file (which is opened in a new tab, and the new tab is made active). Step 2: Click on the project view tab (which may be hidden if one has many files/tabs opened) to reactivate it. Step 3–10: Repeat above steps four more times, to open all the files. This is a feature suggestion for opening multiple files at once. One would ‘Ctrl + click’, ‘Shift + click’ or drag mouse pointer to select the files one wanted to open, and then click on one of them or right-click and select ‘Open’. The files would then open (in separate tabs). (Currently, dragging the mouse pointer to select multiple files work, but right-clicking and selecting ‘Open’ (or clicking on a file) only opens the file under the mouse pointer, not the rest of the files.)
What if we simply make Ctrl+click open the clicked file without changing the focus? It should be easier to implement, and solve the scenario you describe.
