Managing Tabs

Files open as tabs, and you can move the tabs around and close them using CTRL+W (Windows) or CMD+W (MacOS). If you've modified a file, a dot appears before the file name in the tab. If you attempt to close a modified file without saving, a save warning will prompt you to save the file before closing.
