Description xan2 2004-03-25 00:55:13 UTC
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable
Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: enhancement
Version:  2.4.x
Synopsis: Terminal with button for new tabs.
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal
Bugzilla-Component: general
Bugzilla-Version: 2.4.x
Description:
Please describe your feature request:

My feature request is that terminal has a button for create a new tab
console. I believe that this feature depends of a creation of a terminal
toolbar (usually at below) in which we can put many button (among these,
the new tab button).

Reasons:

	1) The one way of create new tab is:
			a) Go to Menu
			b) Use shortcuts

	2) (a) is a slower way to do that. And (b) is a tedious: we have to
memorize this shortcut (and in practice, some people are too lazy for
doing this. Also, we should memorize less things that we do: a shortcut
for one program, another shortcut for another, ... it's a mad
practice!)

	3) For beginners or final desktop user it were useful. These people
prefer click mouse to one button that do (2a) or (2b). If you don't
believe, say it. ;-)

	4) This feature aport more facility to that application.

	5) The toolbar could be optional: enabled or disabled from preferences
menu. So people that like "old" sight terminal, could see that, and
people that like terminal+toolbar, could see that too.

	Obviosly, the use of that button is optional. I only want this feature
for more easy use of terminal.

Has patch, ping?
(I'm obsoleting the older one)
Comment 5 Mike Miller 2005-07-10 03:40:05 UTC
A small suggestion...  Instead of creating a giant toolbar that takes up lots of
space, how bout a tiny button to the left of the tabs, a la firefox?

Asked in https://launchpad.net/products/gnome-terminal/+bug/9782 as well.
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2008-03-25 22:07:03 UTC
I don't think we'll add a toolbar to g-t. However the suggestion in comment 5 might work; adding dependency on the gtk+ bug.
