Closing Files

You can close a single file, multiple files, or all files but the selected one by closing the file tabs.

Choices

  • To close a file group tab or a file tab, click the X button of the corresponding tab, or press Ctrl/Cmd-W, or right-click the file tab, and select Close.
  • To close a file tab without saving your changes, hold Ctrl/Cmd-Shift, and click the X button of the tab. This avoids having to confirm a warning message whenever you want to close an unsaved tab.
  • To close all files of a file group at once, right-click a file group tab, and select Close All Files.
  • To close all file tabs but the selected file tab, right-click a file tab, and select Close All But This.
  • To individually select the file tabs that you want to close, right-click a file group tab, and select Select Files to Close. This opens the Files to Close dialog, where you can select the files to close.
  • By default, files are removed from the project when you close them. To keep the files in the project after closing them, right-click a file tab, and activate Keep in Project after Closing.
