Description Stark Viktor 2004-01-31 02:51:44 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.)
Comment 1 Olav Vitters 2004-01-31 20:16:36 UTC
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.

I guess I didn't include 'unspecified' in the versions I queried against.

Sorry about that.
