Description Mark Gibb 2020-02-25 20:53:36 UTC
SUMMARY
When many tabs are open, a little folder icon with a number (like "+3") appears. That's fine except when I click on that icon, the entire list of open files shows up instead of just the three that are not shown.  That makes it very difficult to get to the tabs that are hidden, especially if I don't remember what all is open. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. N/A

EXPECTED RESULT
I would like the handling to be more like Notepad++, which is that left/right arrows appear to the right of the tab bar.  This scrolls the tabs back and forth.  If not that, then have the +3 icon only show the 3 hidden tabs.  Or, bring back the plugin that allowed a multiple row tab bar.  I could not find that anywhere.

Thanks for working on Kate!

I agree.

We have now the normal left/right arrows in addition to the button that opens quick open (the button no longer will show some +xxx hint).
