Multi-tab windows


A multi-tab window presents multiple files as separate tabs in a single frame, enabling you to quickly and easily flip between these files, either by clicking on the tabs or by using the ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT keyboard shortcuts.

Each tab has a contextual menu of commands (Save, Clone View, Close, and Dock Into...), accessible by right-clicking on the tab itself. See below for more information on cloning, docking, and undocking windows.

Note: Multi-tab windows with only one file or component look like single windows - that is they do not have a tab. Thus commands that appear on contextual menus for tabs must be accessed elsewhere (such as from the Main Window) when in a single window. Once a second file is opened in or docked to the window, tabs for both items appear.
