While I can see the logic in some ways for not going with tabs, the
way the combo box is styled currently is very, very non-obvious. It
took me a few hours of using creator before I figured out it actually
kept multiple files open at a time.

I think I prefer tabs, as I find them a more common method of
navigation (my IM, browser, and current IDE all work this way), but I
wonder whether some kind of ..super-shortcut would have merit too,
something like hitting a key sequence, and e.g. typing src/ma<tab> to
navigate to src/main.cpp or something.

I suggest this because I have a *lot* of files in my project, so
pretty much all current navigation methods except the project explorer
are a bit unworkable, but I'm not convinced one way or another.
