For anyone working from CVS, I've checked in an initial version of the code
Editor which uses the tabbed notebook to open multiple source files,
instead of opening new windows.
You can find it in tools/oneEditor/tabcodeEditor.py
It also incorporates the experimental drop-down menus for components and
events, previously in codeEditoR.
I'd like to hear of any problems encountered with it, or any suggestions
for it. Or, indeed, of any successful testing / usage of it.
There is one irritating known problem - when you first open the editor, the
initial text window opens at a fixed size, instead of getting its size from
the notebook. This gets fixed if you resize the application window - and
once you've done that, all subsequent edit pages open correctly and resize
themselves as needed; it's just the very initial page that is wrong.
There's a todo.txt in that directory with some notes on other things to be
done - but this is the only real problem I currently know about.
