Thank you for your suggestion. What value would that add in your opinion?

I'd second that, this is of a navigational UI value - some kind of vertical tabs sidepanel, where you can also perform typical actions over open notes (maybe, same as in the notes list, or customizable).

[siran]

When there are a couple of notes opened the horizontal tab view doesn't cut it anymore to easily find and select an opened note.

I agree with @macsunmood: some kind of vertical tabs sidepanel, where you can also perform typical actions over open notes, probably the same context menu when right-clicking over the note's tab or on the side panel entry.

New panels are a lot of work and also involve replacement of screenshots in lots of repositories.

You can also just make a dropdown list similar to Sublime Text:

This, I think is very needed as for Tab Sessions also. The "Sublime text-like" implementation would fit ideally.

@pbek Especially now, when there are Tab Sessions, you can have lots of tabs opened at once and quickly switch between large tabs layers, the abitily to view a list of all open tabs and search among them is crucial.

But even irrespective of Tab Sessions: If tabs exist, they must be possible to list/search.

this is also related to https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/2597

If tabs exist, they must be possible to list/search.

I wouldn't go as far as must, but certainly it's a big convenience.

I wouldn't go as far as must, but certainly it's a big convenience.

Come on, the must denotes the necessity, for a modern app's UI/UX searching multiple scattered stuff is quite a must. Let's just be articulate in expression 😉
