List of tabs, switch between them (back function)
« on: November 11, 2009, 09:40:16 pm »
Hi!

I often have a lot of windows in EA. Mostly because I have huge activities split into multiple diagrams via sub-activities (actions as composite elements).

Following features would be *very* helpful for overview and navigation between them:
  • An option to customize where a window is included within the window list/bar at the bottom when I open it via clicking a composite element:
    • On the right-hand side end in the list (as it is now)
    • Next to the current window where I click into the composite element.
  • After I opened a new window/diagram with the content of the composite element: a keyboard shortcut to get back to the last diagram (where the composite element is). If the new window would be included right next to the first tab, the existing "ALT+LEFT" would do the trick.
  • Possibility to change the order of window tabs in the bar (via drag and drop with the mouse). As you can do in Mozilla Firefox, for example.
Brgds, Peter

In this post I asked about such a keyboard shortcut. Someone posted a reference to this old feature request.

Hi Peter,

Don't forget to send an 'official' feature request for this issue to sparx support. You'll find the link to the form at the very bottom of this page. Track back the link(s)  to the corresponding forum thread(s) in the FR.

PS.: That one gets my vote, as I have already mentioned elsewhere.

And in the absence of a formally defined voting mechaism,

I vote in favour here too...

formally defined voting mechanism

Just searched both the super and infra structures.  Couldn't find one either  ;D

But yes +1 here too.
