Ability to compact dir names by removing vowels

Open rawtaz opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

Here's a suggestion to make the reduced dir names in the editor tabs even shorter, yet readable.

For example I have now a couple of tabs that are for the files backend/controllers/FooController.php and controllers/FooController.php, and they are shortened to [backe]FooController and [contro]FooController.

I suggest that you add a checkbox named "Reduce by removing vowels" or similar, in the settings for the plugin, and when this is checked the above example tables would instead become [bcknd]FooController and [cntrl]FooController.

I argue that humans can pretty easily read words where vowels are removed, this is a well known point, so being able to do this would be nice (and it should be easy to implement as well) :) As you can see it provides for more of the original word being fitted in the reduced one, which is more informative.

Thanks for a great plugin!
