easily accessible "Open Editors" dropdown menu #236733

Open

Description

There should be an option to view the "Open Editors" view in a dropdown menu from the editor tab bar. This would be similar to the dropdown menu that appears at the end of the tab bar in both Firefox and Chrome. This would make this functionality more easily accessible since currently the open editors view can only be opened in a sidebar which can require multiple clicks to access depending on which view was last open in that sidebar. Additionally a sidebar needs a final click to dismiss while a menu closes immediately after taking an action such as switching to or closing an editor. Alternatives such as workbench.action.showAllEditors are not equivalent since they cannot be activated by the mouse and because quick-pick panels do not support features such as reordering editors or closing them via middle-click.
