How to display list of opened tabs in Qt 4.8 on Ctrl+Tab

Question

Is there any straightforward (without listening to key events) way to display the list of opened tabs in Qt, like following (in Visual Studio). I just want to make sure Qt does not offer such a feature, before implementing such a widget by myself.

At least in a primitive way like in NotePad++ (meant no offense). Now, when I am using QTabBar and press Ctrl+Tab it shows something like this,

And I don't know actually what is that !

The default behaviour of ctrl-tab is to cycle through the tabs. You will need to customize that to display your own dialog. You don't need to connect to any signals to do this, simply pass a reference to the tab widget/bar into the dialog. You can then use that reference to retrieve the names and to change the tab.
