Netbeans vertical file tab

Question

By default, all open files in your netbeans are displayed in a horizontal tab, as the browser does.

I want my tabs displayed vertically, is this possible?

Answer 1

It looks like the features you needed were added to NetBeans sources just a few weeks ago. You can view this set of changes here: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/e36924dd340d

Thus, you should be able to set tab stops in Options if the version of the IDE that you created was built after the change mentioned above (January 25, 2012).

You can get the nightly builds here .

Answer 2

Tools → Options → Appearance → Tab Placement
