@Ric_Weber presumably it would have a default timer of 5 minutes before closing a view, rather than only keeping one view open at any one time.
@michel_imbert - are you aware of the "Close Inactive Views" command? This is a manual way of doing exactly what you're asking for. You can add it to the quick access toolbar or assign it to a keyboard shortcut to speed up the process.
Otherwise it lives in the View tab alongside the Windows area.
