Description seth vidal 2003-04-20 16:42:31 UTC
It would be great if tabs could be reorganized between multiple
gnome-terminal windows

for example - I have one terminal open. I open another, independent window.

I open a new tab in each of those, so now I have a total of 4 terminals
open - 2 tabs in each window.
so:
window1
 tab-a
 tab-b
window2
 tab-a
 tab-b

I'd like to be able to do two things:

1. reorganize the tabs so that window1-tab-b could be moved to window2-tab-c
2. tear off the tabs so that window1-tab-a could become window3

When I mentioned this to  Jeremy Katz he said you might think this was a
crack feature request but I didn't think it was _that_ crazy it's sorta
like what epiphany, mozilla and galeon offer and it would be handy thing to
have.

Also it would be nice to be able to tell gnome-terminal "always open new
terminals as tabs"

That might be a feature that would need to be buried in gconf-editor and
default to off but I don't think it would over complicate things. Then
again I've not looked at the gnome-terminal internals.

thanks for the consideration.

Please file 1 problem/enhancement request per bug (easier for QA and
assignees).

The dragging off and reorganizing of tabs is a dupe of bug 86938. I'm
going to file this as duplicate and the "always open new terminals as
tabs" can be filed in a new 'bug'report. 

Thanks.
