  31. <para>BufferTabs adds a set of tabbed-pane style tabs to the jEdit text area. The tabs show all buffers currently open in jEdit, so clicking on a tab will easily switch to that buffer. The tabs can be placed on any of the four sides of the text area.</para>

  33. BufferTabs provides a popup menu that may be accessed by right-clicking (command-clicking on the Macintosh) on a tab. This popup menu offers quick access to some common functions such as reloading, saving, or closing the current buffer. There are also
  34. <guimenuitem moreinfo="none">Insert File Name</guimenuitem>
  35. and
  36. <guimenuitem moreinfo="none">Insert File Path</guimenuitem>
  37. commands in the popup menu. These will insert into the current buffer the name of the buffer's file or the full path to the buffer's file respectively. You may also copy either of these to the clipboard using the
  38. <guimenuitem moreinfo="none">Copy File Name</guimenuitem>
  39. and
  40. <guimenuitem moreinfo="none">Copy File Path</guimenuitem>
  41. commands provided in the popup menu.

  44. BufferTabs can colorize tab backgrounds based of the filename colors defined in the
  45. <guimenu moreinfo="none">Global Options...</guimenu>

  47. <guisubmenu moreinfo="none">File System Browser</guisubmenu>
  48. >
  49. <guisubmenu moreinfo="none">Colors</guisubmenu>
  50. panel. Some Look and Feels don't allow the background color of a tab to be changed, to compensate for this the text color can be changed instead. Setting can be changed in the
  51. <guisubmenu moreinfo="none">Plugins</guisubmenu>
  52. >
  53. <guisubmenu moreinfo="none">BufferTabs</guisubmenu>
  54. panel. The Muting option can make the File system browser colors more suitable for tab backgrounds and titles. There is an option to show a slight color variation, between tabs of the same file type, to make then easier to pick out.
