Can you describe the behavior in a bit more detail? I'm not familiar with that Eclipse feature. Is this anything like the Mac-like ability to navigate tabs using Cmd+TabNumber? I just posted a Macro set that does that ( albeit hackily ):

I've developed TabSwitcher it is very similar to Eclipse Command-E.

What it does:

Press Shift-F9 to open a dialog with all views listed, then you can:
- enter text to select view
- move UP/DOWN to select view

on enter the focus shifts to selected view

PS
Ctrl-E is already assigned to Move to End of Word

Sometimes I have two files with the same basename, but in different directories.
It would be useful to see more context, to determine which file I want. At the worst, show the full pathname, and set crop to "left" to elide the start of the path. Except it looks like you're using a treeview instead of a listbox to display the paths, and treecells don't have a crop attribute.

Double-clicking is broken. You need something like this code:

gSelectView = { ...
   onDblClick: function() {
      this.onAccept();
      window.close();
   },

Also, the contents of the treeview should be sorted, so they're easier
to find.

Finally, you could also process the view-title field, such as treating
it like a regex (so you can type 'foo.*\.js' to see all your JavaScript files),
but that isn't natural. Another approach is to convert the input 'abcd' into
the regex 'a.*b.*c.*d'. A glob-type regex would be more useful, but the only
one I'm aware of that we support easily returns a list of filenames on the
system. Of course it's easy to convert a glob-type regex into a standard one,
right?

I would sort by basename, and in answer to your first question, I'd have a
checkbox that expands to full paths so you don't need the two columns.

I prefer regex searching, but like I said, we're all so used to doing glob-type
searching when matching filenames that typing ".*\.js" is unexpected.

Good work. I worked on an implementation at home earlier this week, but am
happy you've already done it.

For a guide to converting a glob-regex into a regular regex,
there's this:

http://www.krugle.org/kse/files/archive/archive.sourceforge.net/civicrm/...

Looks like the code would be something like:

var regexp = new PatternMatcher.strategies.glob(globField.value);
  for (var f in filenames) {
     if (regexp.test(f)) { do_something ... }
  }

Looks interesting, but I'll let you have the rest of the fun.

Unfortunately, shift-f9 won't work for me since on my mac it's bound to an os function.
Can I change the keybinding?

Very excited about the new UI!

Download is available at TabSwitcher v0.2

Whats new

[x] fixed double click
[x] names are sorted
[x] use glob search (thanks to Eric)
[x] incremental search shows only matching items
[x] file path is shown
[x] user can choose his/her preferred key binding (Edit|Preferences then from Category Editor|Key Bindings)

No keybinding is assigned by default (I know this is a bad solution) user *must* do it manually

The screenshot below shows how to add keybinding

Ug, I forget how to build the source into an xpi. Can you help?

cd tabswitcher/chrome
zip -r tabswitcher.jar content locale skin
zip -r tabswitcher-0.1.xpi chrome/tabswitcher.jar install.rdf chrome.manifest defaults/

TabSwitcher v0.3

What's new

• New - if patters contains at least one uppercase character the incremental search became case sensitive
• New - added item to Window menu
• Fix - path textbox is readonly and grayed
• Fix - removed Cancel button for better window space usage (changed xul:dialog to xul:window)

From this version the update mechanism is enabled by default
