How to increase the maximum number of opened editors in IntelliJ?

ConfigurationGrailsIntellij Idea

Configuration Problem Overview


I am building a grails-app with IntelliJ 9.0 and I am a huge fan of the CTR+TAB shortcut that switches between active editors.

However, by default, IntelliJ keeps ONLY 10 active editors opened at the same time. It is clearly not enough for me.

Do you know, if possible, how I can configure my IDE to have more active editors opened at the same time ?

Solution 1 - Configuration

Settings | Editor | General | Editor Tabs | Tab limit.

Type in tabs in search

You may also want to increase the recent files limit in Settings | Editor | General | Recent files limit if you are using the Recent Files (Cmd+E) feature.

Works for all IntelliJ IDEA platform based IDEs.

Solution 2 - Configuration

Same as best answer but with snapshots!! (windows 10 with IntelliJ Idea 2018.2.4):

File -> Settings Type in tabs in search
