Zend Studio - easily close files?

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.
