There have been some requests for tabbed or Safari-like browsing in Xcode windows. We want to accommodate those requests but do so in a way that doesn't cost a couple of text lines' worth of screen real estate. Do investigate the full powers of the File Navigator and also the Favorites bar in the current Xcode editor

Well, I think it would be worth a line or two, but here's how *I'd* do it. :-) I'd move the current navigation bar to the bottom of the window (this was an option in CW that I used). The navigation items would then share the same space as the horizontal scroll bar I wish were there. (Which brings up another question: Is it possible to turn off text wrapping in source file windows?) Then the tabs could go at the top of the window. As displays continually get more vertical pixels (even on laptops), I wouldn't be too obsessed about using a few of them to provide a really useful feature like tabs. The beauty of tabs, of course, is that they give you direct access to any file using that window, and the ability to see which files are using that window. I'll always take a single click over opening and selecting something from a menu. It could even be written to allow Cmd-n to switch to the nth tab.
