    Hi,

    Working with ModX is great, but as always, there is room for improvement : )
    I don't know if this idea is suggested in the past but here is my brainfart for the ModX manager.

    In the development stage of building a site I often switch between CSS and JavaScript files. Most of the time I have to open, edit, save and close various files to review the result in the browser. It would be great to have multiple tabs with files to edit and save in one screen:


    It's a bit like working in Adobe Flash where you have multiple ActionScript files as tabs in the script editor.

    Let me know what you think,

      I use a text editor that works with my FTP client, so I can double-click on a file and it's opened in my text editor, and when I save it's uploaded automatically. This way I can have as many files as I like open at the same time, and have them stored anywhere in the file system I want, without interfering with the editing I'm doing in the Manager.
