Display Eclipse tabs on several lines
EclipseIdeEclipse PluginEclipse 3.5Eclipse Problem Overview
I'm using eclipse galileo. Is it possible to display the tabs of my open files on several lines instead of using the >>
sign. I still want a unique window to view the code though.
If there is no such settings, do any plugin exists ?

No.
Bug 58945: CTabFolder should support multi row and vertical style options, opened since 2004! (other bugs exist on the same topic)
(Update Feb. 2017: it seems to be assigned, with Oxygen 4.7 as target!
Thank you specializt for mentioning that in the comments)
CTRL+F6 is one workaround for now.
Other "workarounds" are listed in this thread:
- turn on the "close editors automatically" option (preferences > General > editors), which will close editors automatically when the limit is reached an a new editor is to be opened.
- make use of multiple windows each with a set of editors for areas you are editing or browsing or searching
- CTRL+Shift+W to close all tabs quickly
As mention by Big Chair in the comments:
> Someone made a workaround here: "Eclipse multiple tab rows"
Wes explains:
> I've discovered that while it is true that you cannot have multiple rows of tabs for the same code-space, it is possible to have multiple rows of tabs showing on your window at the same time: > > To accomplish this, simply drag a tab up to your title bar and release. It will create another row of tabs.

ctrl+shift+e gives a nice dialog with all open windows. ctrl+e gives the "quick" version of this dialog.

I found this plugin, which lists all open windows in a separate tab, and lets you open windows with a single click:

As far as I know, there is neither such setting nor plug-in (at least freely available). But if there is, I'd like to be corrected.
Solution 5 - Eclipse
The Open-Editor plugin does it. But it has issue.
