|
The most common way to switch between files in <app>gedit</app> is by using
|
|
the tabs at the top of the <app>gedit</app> window. In some cases, though,
|
|
particularly when you are working with a large number of open files, you
|
|
may find it easier to use the side panel.
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To activate the side panel, select <guiseq><gui>View</gui>
|
|
<gui>Side Panel</gui></guiseq>, or just press the <key>F9</key> key.

You can toggle the side panel open or closed by pressing
|
|
<key>F9</key> at any time.

<p>
|
|
To open files from the side panel, first open the
|
|
side panel by selecting <guiseq><gui>View</gui>
|
|
<gui>Side Panel</gui></guiseq> (or just press
|
|
<key>F9</key>), and then choose <gui>File Browser</gui> from the dropdown
|
|
at the top of the panel.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This will activate the <em>File Browser</em> mode of the
|
|
side panel. You can then use the navigation buttons at the top
|
|
of the panel to locate and open your desired files.

<title>Using the side panel to switch between open files</title>

<p>
|
|
Once you have several files open, you can use the side panel to switch
|
|
between open files. To list open files, choose <gui>Documents</gui>
|
|
from the dropdown at the top of the panel.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Clicking on any file name in the side panel will open that file
|
|
for editing.
