Steps to reproduce
open Geany
press Shift+F10

Result
The tab-switcher appears with some entries that ar not tab-titles. The entries are:

Open in New Window
Close
Close Other Documents
Close Documents to the Right
Close All

Expectation
Only tab-titles should appear in the tab-switcher.

Remark I
The items disturb specially for small screens when using a lot of tabs, because one need to scroll through the tab-switcher to find the right tab-title. I can remember that in the editor Notepad++ there were only tab-titles in the tab-switcher and that was fine. Till today I never used the items of the tab-switcher. If you don't want to remove the items of the tab-switcher, then it would be good to offer the items as option in the Preferences. Maybe the items should be deactivated by default.

Remark II
Maybe it would be good to offer two different tab-switchers. One tab-switcher with the items appears directly next to the mouse when you right-click on a tab-title. The second tab-switcher without items would appear when pressing the shortcut Shift+F10, and would appear always centered (horizontally and vertically) in the window (like once in the editor Notepad++), because it is the best position for switching tabs and the best position for an enlargement of the list.

System
Lubuntu 23.10
Geany 1.38

Please delete this issue because I just recognized that there is a tab-switcher in Geany without items when pressing Ctrl+tab.

I'm sorry for this report.
