This is just a small optimization: we reuse empty tab numbers. So there’s no wasted numbering.
In Jollpi Text Editor, when you close tab n and k, then open a new one — it immediately fills those empty slots. Simple, but it keeps the tab order clean and consistent.
Even when opening multiple windows, memory usage remains efficient. Spinning up ten separate windows adds only a minimal memory footprint — the efficiency is noticeable.

Testing a 1M-line file —
Legacy, but still alive.

Jollpi (2010, Python2+GTK2) still runs on modern Arch-based systems, btw 😎
Syntax highlighting, tabs, find/replace .all still working in 2025.
.
OS: Manjaro Linux (GNOME)
• Python2, PyGTK2,GtkSourceView2 → installed from AUR
• GTK2 → still in the repo
• PyGtkSourceView2 → not in AUR, manually built from archived GNOME sources

If you're on Arch, you can try it yourself.
