There have been some requests for tabbed or Safari-like browsing in

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.
