Switching between Tabgroups via the Panorama View is a slow action. It would be nice to switch faster. If I could have quick access to the names of my tab groups, this would be helpful.

Idea: Add the tab group (names) to the tab pulldown in the tab bar. In my opinion, this could be on the first (top) positions of this pulldown, followed by the panorama item and then the tabs (I mean most of the time, I habe a one klick way to go to the tab of my choice, whatfor the pulldown anyway).

Alternative idea 1: Add a pull down possibility to the Panorama Icon in the tab bar. List the tab groups there for faster selection.

Alternative idea 2: Let there appear a pseudotab per tag group in the tab bar which actually switch to the last seen tab of the specified tab group. Pseudotabs should look different (by colour, stile or border) for easy spotting. Even an "app tab group" (pinned on the left hand side) could make sense in this setting.

Reproducible: Always

That's a duplicate of bug 589465.

This is a dupe of bug 596017.

I don't think we would implement this. This could be a good place for an add-on to step in and try this out.

Thanks Tim! I am sorry, I didn't spot the dupes, but I did some search.
