The Workspace

Tabs

Every open document gets a tab in the strip above the editor.

Opening and closing

  • Click the + button at the left of the tab strip to open a new untitled document.
  • Click the × on a tab to close it (Ctrl+W closes the current tab).
  • Reopen the last closed tab with Ctrl+Shift+T.

Reordering

Drag a tab left or right to reorder it.

Tab indicators

Each tab can show small status markers:

  • A red dot means the document is read-only.
  • An unsaved-changes dot means you have edits that aren't saved yet.
  • A lock icon (🔐 locked / 🔓 unlocked) marks an encrypted file.

The tab context menu

Right-click a tab for Save, Save As…, Rename…, Close, Close Other Tabs, and Close All Tabs.

Tabs in the sidebar

If you turn on Show open tabs in the sidebar (in Options), a collapsible Tabs section appears at the top of the sidebar, mirroring the tab strip.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+8 — switch to that tab
  • Ctrl+9 — switch to the last tab
  • Ctrl+W — close the current tab
  • Ctrl+Shift+T — reopen the last closed tab
