Description

« Hide

Provide some visual way for files lists like Ctrl+N / Ctrl+Shift+N / Ctrl+E to indicate that a listed file is already in the editor. This is helpful, for example, when you are selecting a builid.xml and every module in a project has its own and you are already editing some.

Any ideas on what this visual presentation might be?

I'm only coming up with unconventional approaches but here are 3:
The name itself placed in a tab similar to what it looks like in the editor tabs.
A little arrow on the line itself pointing toward the actual tab.
Draw a line from the listed file that ends up going all the way to the editor tab and pointing at it.
