Open window: Git Log

[muescha]

Description

The Git Log tab is always visible.

However, I prefer to limit editor tabs to a single tab:

Settings / Editor / General / Editor Tabs / Closing Policy / Tab limit: 1

With this setup, there is no easy way to make the Git Log tab visible again after it disappears. I first need to open a file, and then use the options on the right side. This seems to be the only place where I can reopen the Log tab (see screenshot in: "something wrong with 'log' button #203").

It would be nice to have a dedicated menu option for reopening this Log tab.
Or optional: if I close my current tab and there are 0 tabs left, the Log tab could automatically reopen.

Notes:

• The menu option "Git / Show Git Log" does not open the mentioned Log tab.

Workaround:

• Set the tab limit to 2. However, this only works when I open diff views, because the diff view reuses the previous diff tab. When I open normal files from the Project tool window, the Log tab disappears again after opening two regular files.

huh, i had no idea that was a thing lol

there used to be a keyboard shortcut to re-open the log tab in earlier versions of rebased, before i figured out how to make the tab unclosable, but if there are still circumstances where the tab can be closed i guess i should add it back

if you have another tab open you can open a log tab from this menu:

but that's not visible when no tabs are open.

Can you also do this one?

Or optionally: if I close my current tab and there are 0 tabs left, the Log tab could automatically reopen.

A simple Cmd+W is faster ;) and it would not affect the setup where multiple tabs are available.
