Suggestion: Choice to display tabs of workspace on bottom

[count0]

This is just a matter of personal taste...

Codelite displays the tabs of workspace pane on left, but many IDEs display these tabs on top or bottom.
So, may I suggest adding a check box in setting which lets user change the position?

And change something like this to LiteEditor/workspace_pane.cpp:

Code: Select all

long display_on_bottom(1);
EditorConfigST::Get()->GetLongValue(wxT("display_workspace_tab_on_bottom"), display_on_bottom);

if (display_on_bottom)
   m_book = new Notebook(this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxVB_BOTTOM|wxVB_TAB_DECORATION);
else
   m_book = new Notebook(this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, wxVB_LEFT|wxVB_TAB_DECORATION);	
mainSizer->Add(m_book, 1, wxEXPAND | wxALL, 1);

This was done for space saving consideration, since adding tabs on the top/bottom consumes much more screen space.

This patch is fine, but I dont think it will be intergated. I prefer a more complete solution:
- I will add an option to *all* notebooks to allow changing their orientation to top/bottom/left/right and other settings available in the Notebook control like I did in my previous Notebook control (wxFlatNotebook)

That will be great.
