166693 - Feature Request: configuration / UI

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[zach]

I think tabs could use a lot more configuration options.

Some examples:

- allow remapping of hotkeys associated with tabs (^N instead of ^T for new tab,
etc).

- closing the last tab should not close mozilla, as using ^W to close all open
tabs (to clean up) often results in no more mozilla, requiring restart.

- perhaps an easy way to navigate through common tabs, ie: hit 1 for tab 1, 2
for tab 2 and so on.  Good for sites that you always have open in a browser and
frequently access/update from and want quick access to w/out mousing or looking.

- make tabs that have changed since you switched from them change colors to show
that something is different (ie: a page reloads or redirects while you are
looking at another tab, changes to red or something to show that something is
different since you last saw it)

- make actual tab locations configurable to users preference (ie: work-related
pages could have tabs on the bottom and non-work could have them on the top). 
Mainly for organization..

-  allow for hotkey tabs w/multiple "Home Pages".  For example, ALT+Home takes
you to your home page.. What if you could configure home-pages for multiple
buttons, like alt+1/2/3/4/5/etc.  Ctrl+alt+1 to set #1, alt+1 to access it or
something.  They open in new tabs.  Quick way to jump to a (limited?) set of
"Super-Bookmarks" (more often used than most bookmarks) without having to mouse
around.

- what would be really cool but kind of supercedes Tabs would be mozilla
"desktops."  I know most *nix window managers support multiple desktops, but
wouldnt it be cool for a browser to it for browser windows?  You could have tabs
within desktops.  Moving around mozilla desktops wouldnt really be moving you
around window manager/os desktops but just look like you are moving from one
mozilla to the other (in a more left/right/up/down kind of way as opposed to
front/back w/conventional app-switching on most operating systems - like alt+tab
in windows).  Think of a situation at work, where you have a mozilla "Desktop"
open with all your work tabs - your intranet, time entry, bugzilla, etc.  On
another mozilla "desktop" you could have all your non-work tabs, like fark,
slashdot, etc.  Again, just for organization.

As you can see, I am running out of ideas.

Hope this gives you guys some (better ones) as well. :D
