Terminal with button for new tabs.
Last modified: 2015-07-14 17:37:44 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. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2004-03-24 19:55 ------- Unknown platform unknown.

Wow!. Thanks. Now, is it summitted in CVS version of gnome-terminal? Thanks, Xan.
Has patch, ping? (I'm obsoleting the older one)
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.
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.
Marking patch status.
