XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

I'm currently evaluating ZS 5.2 and I cannot find an easy way to close files. I can close them via File -> Close but that's awful. Where's my quick and easy X button in the tab bar???

It is in the workspace window, upper right I believe. Or a simple Alt-F4... that's what I use anyway.

There are no icons for closing files.
Ctrl+F4 will close the currently in focus file, Alt+F4 will attempt to close the application.
Alternatively you can right click the filename tab and you'll get some other options.
Hope this helps.

I can't believe this is so inconvenient!
This 'feature' alone makes me not want to purchase their software.

having a X in the tab bar could be inconvinient (closing a file when you actually didn't want to.)
so best way would be using keybord shortcut.

Do you also find X in your OS windows inconvenient? If you don't want to close the file, just don't press X. Simple as that.
Also maybe there's a way to put file tabs at the top of the editor area (like in Firefox)?

I hate to turn this into a "recommend an editor thread" but If you want X's and tabs at the top, you may want to play with
Eclipse . You'll need to get the phpEclipse or Zend's variant extension too for PHP.

I used to use Eclipse + Zend's PHP IDE but it's not really useable at this moment (along with a couple of other Eclipse issues I do not like) so I guess I'll stay with Zend Studio for some time to see if I can get accustomed to it.

I've personally disliked Zend's plugin for Eclipse.. which is why I use phpEclipse's.

Once you get the hang of Ctrl-F4 it gets easier.

You can also just right click on the tab to close it.

or....
double click (left moust) on the top-left corner.... this USUALLY gets the job done.
I dont mean to be rude or anything, but what is wrong with ctrl+f4?

Double clicking in top left corner will close down the whole app not individual files, which is the feature the the OP asked about.
