Tab frustrations?

A = 7
B = 7
C = 5
D = 5
E = 5
F = 7 (R/O file attribute)
G = 1

Additional comments - I dislike the popup dialog on Ctrl+Tab. It is distracting and I would prefer it to just go to the next tab (left-to right) in the list.

Also, I have not figured out how to show code in both monitors of a dual-monitor setup. I would specifically like to be able to put some files on each monitor in different windows.

Sorry, forgot to mention I use mostly C# editing .cd files, WinForms, and using Class Designer.

A 5
B 5
C 5
D 10!!!

I think, it would be the best if the related views appear only once on the top, and there can be a bottom tab to switch between the "code" or "design" views, like in frontpage 2003 or in delphi. Maybe a "split" view can be very nice, like in frontpage, but this "split" view is not so important.

E 1
F 7
G 3

But I like the Ctr+Tab popup dialog very much, it must be the same, and must be there.

A: 7
B: 8
C: 9
D: 9 (to some extent, at least for aspx, they are)
E: 10 (I often discover myself having dozens of open files in web projects)
F: 4
G: 9

I agree with the request to provide for multi-monitor support. I also agree that it'd be nice to reduce the number of tabs above by grouping related tabs. However, it would be necessary to also be able to de-group one or more members of a group, and move the view to another location. For example, degroup the aspx and the code-behind, moving one to a different monitor. Of course, (automatic) regrouping would be needed then as well.

... and I'm C#, mostly web projects.

I saw the mention of readonly file status indicator -- how about a way to unlock a readonly file? Especially project and solution files that VS normally will throw error dialogs about when attempting to modify?
