Close whole documents list at once

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:

netbeans/platform/core.multitabs/src/org/netbeans/core/multitabs/impl/ButtonPopupSwitcher.java

Lines 445 to 456 in 1a9b29d

	ProjectSupport projectSupport = ProjectSupport.getDefault();
	boolean sortByProject = Settings.getDefault().isSortDocumentListByProject() && projectSupport.isEnabled();
	List<TabData> tabs = controller.getTabModel().getTabs();
	Map<TabData, ProjectProxy> tab2ProjectMap = Collections.emptyMap();
	if (sortByProject) {
	tab2ProjectMap = projectSupport.tryGetProjectsForTabs(tabs);
	if (tab2ProjectMap.isEmpty()) {
	sortByProject = false;
	}
	}

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.
