I also use a really big amount of open tabs in my web browsers (I group them in different windows). On IntelliJ, though, I use tabs as my "working area", and it never spans more than 8-10 files. It helps me keep my commits small and focused, never touching too many files.
PS: You can disable tabs entirely by setting tab placement to "None".
- barrkel 9y agoI can only see three to five tab titles at a time per pane given the screen width and long class names, and I'm generally navigating across 10+ files at a time (jumping to definition and uses, usually). This means the right tabs are never available for me to click on, so I just ignore the tab bar altogether for selection purposes. And since I never close them, the open set expands to my working set including reference code. I can't hide the tab bar because I need it to control which pane a file is showing in. E.g. I want test and implementation visible at the same time; this usually requires that I drag one or the other tab to the other pane, because IntelliJ brings tabs to the front of whatever pane they're already living in, rather than moving them to the currently focused pane. I do my commits from magit in emacs. I generally don't commit at all until I've done something somewhat significant, but I'll break it down into commits on a diff hunk by hunk basis, which magit makes easy. I don't use the IntelliJ SCC tooling.
