Hello, Regarding the "focus" issue, i have a quite simple patch which solves this: when opening an editor, it checks if there is a view showing the same file already and re-uses it if found; otherwise, the current view is updated.
It all happens here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/27493 Should this be the standard behavior, or should there be an option (and where) ?
