Hi,

I always open files in a new window. As I said in a previous message, the buffer system is not too handy for me.

Indeed, when I succeed in opening two files in the same window (see below), the go->back/forward commands are disabled. I don't know when those menus are supposed to be accessible.

Side note:
Sometimes when I try to open a new file on top of another one (rather quickly?), the dialog does not appear (Menu File->load produces no result). I had a similar problem when opening in new window. That is a well known bug. A workaround for the "new window bug", which is to pretend linking a file to make the "open file" dialog reappear, does not seem to work here... I probably should file a new bug?

Best,

Alexandre.

Hi, Alex,

Oh, I think I meant buffers. When I open a file by File -> Load, I do get a new buffer, not a window, yes? Because I didn’t see a new window opens. If I’m correct, then Go -> Back doesn't works for me to cycle through opened buffers. Any idea?

Hi,

I think there is a misunderstanding, you are probably talking about buffers rather than actual windows. Am I right?

Best,

@ Fan Zhang, I have the same problem: I can select different windows under "Go --> file.tm" but cannot use Cmd - [ or ] (ever).

@ Alexandre Dezotti's comment, do you mean the character  `  ? If so, unfortunately produces a character on OS X. Any workaround?

All the best,

Michael

Hi all,

I wish Texmacs implemented tabs, like in so many programs (gedit, firefox, thunderbird, kile, nautilus...). I find the current buffer system a bit disconcerting. As for me i use Alt-(the key above tab) for switching between different windows, but that's only because I am using gnome.

Hi, All,

Have you guys ever experienced the case where "Go -> Back & Forward (Cmd ])" doesn’t work? It’s grayed out in my case, and now I have to switch among files by mouse, which is annoying. What’s the possible reason that? And what’s the best practice to manage multiple opened files, like using Tab?
