You could add a tool-button with said popup menu associated to it to the
right of the tab widget (e.g. Firefox does this). This would have the
advantage from my PoV that it's always there and works, regardless of
how many tabs are open.
I'll ask whether this would be acceptable. As I mentioned in response to
William Crocker, I'm currently losing the battle that the requested idea is
a bad idea.
I do not know about the button, but the pop-up could be a window
with scrollable contents. And, as with all windows, your app will remember
the size/location and put it back where they left it, on subsequent uses.
One issue with the tool button idea will just be finding an acceptable location
for it. There are already other widgets surrounding the QTabWidget in our UI,
so squeezing it in without having to rearrange everything else could be an
issue.
This works for me, and the button is small 16x16.
m_TheTabWidget->setCornerWidget(bp1);
Honestly, an decent solution would be where if I could modify the tab widget's
tab bar to never show the scroll buttons (easy enough with the usesScrollButtons
property), and instead always show the tool button. This looks harder though
since
there doesn't appear to be an easy way to add widgets in the tab widget's tab
bar.
