VS2012: Preview Tab for *.php files

[bornste]

I've got one thing that I really miss when switching between C# and PHP projects in VS2012.

If I select (single click) a *.cs file in Solution Explorer that super handy "Preview Tab" opens on the right in the tab well. As soon as I start editing that file, the "Preview Tab" becomes a normal tab.
It's even more useful when following references by pressing F12, because it doesn't open a lot of files as long as don't start editing. That works as well for html, css, js and some other file types. Unfortunately it doesn't work for *.php files.

Is there any possibility to support this in one of the next releases? That would really make my day

Hi Stefan,

that is certainly useful feature for better VS2012 experience. We'll take a look at it and notify you when this can be available. Hopefully we can make your day even if it's not today:)

Thank you

Just bought two licenses, but can't wait to see this feature as I love it using C#...

Hi Stefan and Christoph,

I'm happy to announce that this feature is already implemented in our development branch. It will be released in 1.6 private beta very soon.

Thank you

Is there a way to be part of that beta?

Sure, we'll give you a permission to private beta versions thread. Once you see 1.6 release you can give it a try.
