Editor Tabs

Use this page to configure the appearance of the editor tabs and tab headers, specify their positioning on the screen, and define the opening and closing policy.

Show tabs in one row

Select this option to see the tab headers in a single row.

Hide tabs if there is no space

If this checkbox is selected, DataSpell shows as many tabs as the editor width allows; the rest are hidden and available under the Show Hidden Tabs App ide notification expand selector. Clear the checkbox if you don't want to hide any tabs. Alternatively, you can choose Window | Editor Tabs | Show Hidden Tabs from the main menu to see hidden tabs.

Show pinned tabs in a separate row

Select this option to automatically arrange pinned tabs in one row and unpinned tabs in other rows.

Use small fonts for labels

If this checkbox is selected, the font size on the editor tabs is set to the smaller value.

If this checkbox is not selected, the font size on the editor tabs is set to the default value, as in the project tree view.

Show file icon

Display file type icons in editor tabs.

Show file extension

Show full path on mouse hover

Select to be able to see complete file paths in a tooltip. If you need to configure the tooltip duration, use the Tooltip delay option located at the bottom of the Code Editing page.

Opening Policy

The preview tab allows you to view files in a single tab one by one without opening each file in a new tab. Any other file that you select will replace the previous one in this tab.

Closing Policy

Tab limit

Specify the maximum number of editor tabs to be displayed.

When tabs exceed the limit:

In this area, specify which editor tab should be closed when the limit is reached and the user attempts to open a new file:

  • Close unchanged: DataSpell examines the tabs in the order they were opened and closes the first tab that has not been modified.

  • Close unused: DataSpell closes the tab with the less frequently modified content.

When the current tab is closed, activate

Specify which editor tab to activate when closing the current tab.
