Interacting With Tabs

Drag and Drop Reordering

• Tabs should be reorderable using drag and drop (gnomebug:72101).

  • Arrow dragging versus live-tab-moving (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TabConsistency). Live-tab-moving seems to be the current approach.

  • Bug gnomebug:352124 - Tab easily moved inadvertantly

Tab Context Menu

• Should a context menu appear when right clicking a tab?
  • What should they contain? Possibilities: Close, Detach, Reload, Move (the latter would be good for a11y), Save, Print

• See: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2004-March/msg00116.html, http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2004-March/msg00117.html

Docking and Detaching

Mass Closing of Tabs

• Bug 462780 – Close all but this tab? - the argument is that a close all action would make it too easy to accidentally close too many tabs.

New Tab Placement

• Should new tabs be placed at the far right (or left), or next to the the current active tab (gnomebug:72101)?
