When too much files is opened I like to use documents list format for manage it:

but in that format would be good to have close button to group of documents:

Hello @mbien, can you assign me this issue and help me navigate a little in the project?

hi @Richard7111

sure. Take a look at platform/core.multitabs.

you could set a breakpoint here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/1a9b29d627a0f343837dc053b56e8de32d6ff689/platform/core.multitabs/src/org/netbeans/core/multitabs/impl/ButtonPopupSwitcher.java#L445-L456

Don't try to close editor tabs with unsaved changes since this can cause issues.

Hello @6PATyCb, I am not able to find how to create documents list in the IDE, where should I look for this feature. Google was no help. Could you please help me?

EDIT: Managed to find it.

Choose menu Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> check "Sort opened documents list by project". Then open several projects.
