because dolt design corp somehow think scrolling the tabbar is intuitive? no its rubbish and always has been unless you stuck using some touchpad rubbish where you can't use a mouse with a mousewheel. Does not even have a drop down icon on the far right side for all the document tabs that can no longer be displayed on the tabbar for quicker access in selecting. You know what I call incredibly un-intuitive.

Get a better mouse then, no cares if you don't find a optional improvement useful or not, fact is many others who aren't newbs will find it an improvement. And most of the time that you're switching tabs you're switching to one that was recently used, so it would already be in the visible portion of the tab bar (rather than out of scrollbar focus).Īnd if I do want to move to a tab that isn't in the visible portion of the tab bar, I would probably use another way to get there (because who even remembers which tabs are open when you're dealing with lots of tabs?), like a quick open dialog.īecause of vscode's preview mode, where it doesn't keep the tab open unless you want it to, so you'll have less tabs open in vscode than if you were using another editor, so it also makes it better to choose a default that is relevant to this case.Īt the very least, it should be a configurable option what the scroll wheel does.Īs for now, the proposed behavior does not seem to be intuitive to me. I'd say that it's more useful to move between tabs since the majority of the time that your mouse is in the tab bar you want to switch to a tab that you can actually already see in the tab bar.

Moving the set of visible tabs (the way it operates right now) is how Firefox handles their tabs, while moving between tabs is how Chrome handles their tabs.
