View all open PDFS

I often have many PDFs open—and I'm sure I'm not the only one. In apple preview, it is easy to view a list of open PDFs under "Window". Is it possible to add this feature to Zotero? The series of small tabs for each open PDF is not very helpful. Thanks.

    The many open PDFs is also becoming a problem for me too, and this could be useful. It is helpful that if you hover over the tabs, you get to see a full title - author - year of the item without changing tabs, and that's already quite useful.

    Well, Preview displays them in the Window menu because they're windows — that works in Zotero as well if you open PDFs in separate windows (with Shift-double-click).

    For tabs, we can probably do something like the down-arrow tab menu that appears at the right edge of the tab bar in Firefox and Chrome.

    This is a great concept for usability.
    Maybe could it be another switch in the Preferences?
    Default Position for Open PDF== {new tab | new window} ?

    Well, Preview displays them in the Windows menu even when they are opened as tabs.

    Hopefully this is possible. A down-arrow tab menu would work, too.

    Is it possible to implement a 'down-arrow tab menu' to rectify the issue?

    Is this possible? It would be a useful feature.

    Yes, it's planned, but no ETA.

    Wonderful; thank you, @dstillman

    +1 even though it's planned
