Thanks for trying understand me.
Ok, so when I use any IDE I expect & actually want it, that I can group files into project (yeah Geany supports it by term "session").
After that I can select some files into tab & work with them, if I dont need some file I can exclude it from tab, but not from project bcouse it means that I dont want this file currently but this file should stay included into project. For example when I load Geany related files from project file I see all tabs are open and for me its difficult to navigation between them. It would be much usefull for me if I can select into tabs files which I need dynamically.
I look on tabs like fast navigation between needed files for some short period. In next time when I load same project I can select another files into tabs, but I want that rest of files which belongs to this project stay here.
May be the missunderstanding comes from different terms which we use: - I use the term "project" and by this I mean that files which I loaded into sidebar will stay here (most of them) for a some long time.
- You use the term "session", and probably it means you want use loaded files for some short time?
Actually this "tab" behaviour is standart for most of the IDE I has been used.
P.S. Not sure if I can explain clearly, sorry but I dont speak english good :-)

You mean you want to keep the file loaded in Geany, but with no GUI presence? If so, thats a significant change to the way tabs operate, and different to most other applications. The normal practice is for tab closing to unload the file, but if it doesn't then users could be surprised by the growing memory usage as files stayed in memory.
Why do you want to do this? You haven't explained that yet, so nobody can suggest possible alternate mechanisms.
so for me it's more usefull when I can select some target documents into tabs & fast switch between them.
Sure, thats the point of tabs, but not sure why you want the other files loaded?
Thanks for suggestions, going to re-think how to move it into a plugin,
but
I feel it will be complicated)
Ok, but do try to answer the questions above, that way we can help you produce a solution that solves your problem and others problems too. If you have a problem then others are likely to have a similar issue too, so lets understand the problem and then look for a common, and *simple* :) solution.
Cheers Lex
