Vertical "asset" tabs option?

UE4.27 or 5x.
In the Editor, Is there a way to make “asset” tabs stack vertically in the “Place Actors” region/window (like in Firefox or Brave) - instead of the tabs being horizontal at the Top bar (next to the Level tab)?
E.g. in the pic:

  1. I want all the Asset tabs in the red box to be displayed like green boxes (for each Asset), IN the region/window of the Yellow box (currently the Place Actors tab).
  2. Reason: the tab names in the red box are too hard to read (shrink width when many tabs are open), my main screen is too small, and the orange box wastes horizonal space.
  3. Thus it is performant and modern to stack Named tabs vertically (so we have a set width to read the title, without the width shrinking).

I have a 2nd monitor thats bigger, but it’s shared with another PC (HDMI toggle switch); so when I toggle to the other computer, it is annoying that my extra UE windows on Monitor 2 get reset to Monitor 1 (small). Thus it’s easier to find a way to stack tabs Vertically (on small Monitor 1), and avoid the need for Monitor 2.

I dont believe that is possible natively. You could however try and find a plugin that might be able to do it, or if you know how to, try and create it yourself with the UE5 Source Code.

That is unfortunate. Im still working in UE4 a lot (5x is laggy).
I dont know how to create it using “UE5 Source Code.” But do you mean edit engine code (like make a custom build) or does 5x have a layout Editor/coder?

  • If anyone knows the name of a plugin for Vertical asset tabs (4 or 5x), or knows who to ask, please let me know. Ty.

I mean editing its source code yourself therefore making a custom build of UE5. UE5 does not have a layout editor.
