GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 133021
moving, detaching/attaching tabs
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I often use g-t with lots of tabs open. Mainly for editing multiple files simultaneously with vi. It would be nice to be able to reorganize tabs so that I could have related files in tabs next to each other. OK, that was a bit unclear, so I'll go with an example. I open a new tab only when I need one, so I can easily end up with something (messy) like this: tab 1: vi tab 2: mc tab 3: tail tab 4: vi tab 5: tcpdump tab 6: mc tab 7: vi tab 8: mc tab 9: idle I usually edit files belonging to the same project and it'd be really nice if I could reorganise my tabs so that, say, I'd have all my vi's next to each other. Epiphany is able to do this and it is very handy at times. As for the detaching/reattaching, I think it could come in handy too for users making extensive use of terminals (like me), but I'd say that moving tabs around would be a higher priority. I realize that these aren't one-liners, but I think that they would make g-t an even better terminal emulator than it already is. Opinions, remarks, rants wanted. :-) Keep up the good work! Viktor (Filing against g-t/GNOME 2.4.x as that's what I'm running and I haven't had much time to poke 2.5.x lately, but I didn't see anything in bonsai indicating a major change like this in g-t, so this probably applies to 2.5 too.)
In my opinion: detaching/reattaching: dupe of bug 86938 moving: bug 113428 and bug 106286 Remark: duping to bug 86938 Rant: Thanks for the bug report. These particular bugs have already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86938 ***
I guess I didn't include 'unspecified' in the versions I queried against. Sorry about that. Viktor
