Case structure with tabs

[1984]

My 2 cents: would be nice to have optional tabs on the case structure similar to what we have in modern browsers like chrome. If dont have gazillion cases then this would be a very comfortable way to switch between cases. Arrows at the side shift the cases. The active case is color coded and slightly overlapping the surrounding cases.

Like this idea but would consider putting the tabs at the bottom like excel

I like your idea....for a couple (less than 4) cases.

But it gets close to unusable if there are more cases or cases have long names.

Granted, the drop-down list is not a perfect solution, but it is one of the most scalable ones.

I would grant a kudo for an idea "change the drop-down list to a, expandable/collapsable drop-down tree".

I can easily manage 20+ tabs with chrome so its not becoming unusable just because we have more than n cases. I agree though that long names become a limitation. I imagine this as an option what you can turn on or off. 

The vast majority of the case structures has less than 5 cases so I would say it would be usable for most of the structures.
