Text Editor: vertical tabs or tab groups design
Knowing myself and my usage pattern, with dozens of documents open at the same time and each having long/verbose filenames, I will most likely not be able to scale with horizontal tabs only.
I was wondering if you would have plans for Text Editor to offer vertical tabs (which scale to a greater number while remaining readable) and/or workspaces (a.k.a. tab groups, like what I use in Firefox with STG)? Tab groups/workspaces (and the ability to multi-select and move/reassign tabs from one group to another) would be more complex to implement than vertical tabs only, but they would also be quite a killer feature for someone who constantly switches between various parallel projects or contexts¹
I know I'm asking for a pony tauntaun on a rainbow Tatooine, but hey, A New Editor, A New Hope? ;)
¹: For example, within the span of a day (or a couple of days) I might be doing all of these things: journalling vs "hacking a one-liner on Python open source project XYZ" vs drafting articles/pages vs "brainstorming for client project X/Y/Z" vs "fixing some website HTML/PHP/CSS" vs random temporary notes or interview/chat notes, etc.). Currently, even in gedit it does become a bit messy even with vertical tabs, and I wish I had a way to better organize this "per context".
