One way of dealing with a cluttered Source Editor is to unclutter it. Another way is to keep the clutter but navigate through it more efficiently. (Kind of like not cleaning your room, but working out how to make the mess work to your advantage.)

You can navigate through this list by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the Tab key through the list. When you release the Ctrl key, the last document selected in the list opens in the Source Editor.
