In 0.1.11f, the tooltips don't seem to be working anymore. These were very useful, so I hope it can be fixed.

One other thing about tabs: maybe @zep could move that tab names to the bottom? (you hover the tab, and its name replaces line indicator) So it will not close the code view so much :X

While we're at it, it'd be nice if the tooltip contained the first comment with alphanumerics in it, so I could do headers the way I like:

--------------------------------
--     MY AWESOME FUNCTION
--------------------------------

insert my awesome function here

Right now I just get ------------------- in the tooltip. :(

Note: I said alphanumerics because sometimes I also do this, for major headers:

--==============================
--     MY AWESOME CATEGORY
--------------------------------

insert my awesome category here

So basically a tooltip would contain the first line of the leading block comment which had substance.

As an aside, you could also strip off the -- and all leading/following whitespace, to allow more room in the tooltip, or to allow it to take less screen real estate if it's short.

Eh. I kinda like how they were implemented. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My eyes are already looking at the top of the screen looking at the tabs, so if the tooltips were at the bottom, I'd have to look down each time I wanted to read the tooltip. Also I kind of liked how the tooltip text itself just naturally became the first line of text once you clicked it anyway.

I just want them back. :)

I'd agree that having them in the bottom, a la Explorer status bars, would be a bother. Better to have them local to the tab, as tooltips usually would be.

While we're talking about Code Tabs...

On Mac, the shortcut key to cycle Tabs uses [CTRL+Tab] (same as on Windows).

But most other commands on Mac use the [Cmd] key (e.g. [Cmd+R] = Run on a Mac)
...so wouldn't [Cmd+Tab] be more consistent?

Command+Tab on macOS switches apps by default.

What about option-tab? Sorry if I have the key name wrong, it's been ages since I used a mac. The ⌥ key.

@dddaaannn: Oh yeah.. (Duhh!) *slaps self*

I really wish this is brought back. It was incredibly useful to be able to just hover over tabs and see the top comment, and I even utilized this, it made organizing my code much easier.

What about the shortcut on linux? alt+tab is used for switching windows :X Same with ctrl+tab

@egordorichev

Ctrl-tab too? I thought linux mimicked windows and used ctrl-tab for switching contexts (tabs, documents, etc.) inside of a window.

On windows, ctrl-tab would be the intuitive choice for selecting another tab.
