Vertical file tab in netbeans

Tags:

netbeans

By default all open files in your netbeans are displayed in a horizantal tab, just like a browser does.

I want my tabs to be listed vertically, is this possible?

How do I arrange windows in NetBeans?

Click on the tab of one of the source files without releasing the mouse button (and without holding any additional keys), and drag toward either the right side of the editing area, or toward the bottom of the editing area (depending on whether you want them side-by-side or stacked).

How do I change the tab size in NetBeans?

To make Netbeans tab for 4 spaces: press "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Formatting". There should be a text field "Tab size" to set the tabbing size (see image bellow).

It looks like the functionality you require was added to the NetBeans sources only a few weeks ago. You can view this changeset here: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/e36924dd340d

So you should be able to set the tab positions in the Options if the version of the IDE you have was built after the change mentioned above (25 Jan 2012).

You can get the nightly builds here.
