A very innovative feature from the Shiira project. Tab Expose works just like
expose, but for tabs instead of windows. For more details, download Shiira from
their website.

Reproducible: Always

yeah, i've had thoughts of this for over a year now.

This is a neat feature addition but not a necessity IMO. On the other hand it would be very handy to use especialy when you have 10+ tabs opened at once. The question now is, should it open all tabs in all windows or just all tabs in the active window. I suppose the latter is more desirable.

While Shiira behaves like OSX expose by overlaying a tranlusent black color and showing the page contents on that. I really don't like that behaviour. I'd be much more in favour of an about:expose view that would tile all the tab contents in the app itself.

It seems Shiira's implementation of Tab Expose is also more sluggish than Apple's.

Comment 6

[Jasper]

I really dislike the way Shiira does it. I'd lick the way that firefox extension and how IE7 do it.

Comment 7

[Yuan Qi]

I kind of perfer to see this feature implemented just like the F10 Expose. Except, instead of exposing every application window, it exposes every tab.

Bugzilla's searches aren't UTF-8 compliant :/ so tweaking summary so searches find this bug.

Is this still alive? This would be a great addition to Camino if it is.

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

Actually, I bet this bug should be either duped to bug 377248 or WONTFIXed in favor of that one. It's potentially different, potentially the same.

[Stuart Morgan]

It's the same feature regardless of the exact implementation decisions; duping.

James, in the future please use the vote feature rather than commenting to indicate that you would like a feature implemented. There's no need to ask if a bug is alive, as the "Status" field indicates whether or not a bug has been closed.
