I think that tabs might be a nice feature as well. However, the thing that I like about TeXworks more than other LaTeX editors is that it is lightweight. It runs fast, loads fast, and the previewer is fast. I prefer speed and the lightweight nature over additional features, if there's a tie, especially since they are so many other LaTeX editors with tons of features including tabs.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
tabs definitely make sense but they can come in different flavours and they must be adapted to texworks design.<br>
<br>
There are 3 kinds of tex documents, the single, the compound and the complex ones.<br>
A single TeX document only contains one TeX file.<br>
A compound TeX document contains one master TeX file that includes many different TeX files.<br>
All other cases are complex TeX documents.<br>
Here the auxiliary files are not considered as real part of the document.<br>
<br>
A user will have many text windows open at the same time either when different TeX documents are edited<br>
or when different TeX files of the same TeX document are edited.<br>
Tqbs will be suitable for the latter but not really for the former.<br>
<br>
Concerning the UI, XCode implementation of tabs is very efficient:<br>
1 - switching from one tab view to the other is made through a menu and not the standard list of buttons<br>
2 - text windows can be splitted in order to display different text files or different parts of the same text.<br>
<br>
Finally, I would say that Tabs should be implemented with splitting views, and for multipart TeX documents only<br>
<br>

On TeXworks'web page, this can be read : "Future plans : (...) full project support".<br>
Maybe it means that TeXworks will support multi tabs...<br>
<br>
Multi tabs in the text editor with single TeX document or master TeX file open means Multi tabs in the pdf viewer.<br>
<br>
I vote for multi tabs in TeXworks.<br>
