--- Comment #6 from jimbo <loudsq...@tutanota.com> --- Kate should have the same tearable tab ability as browsers, drag and dropping a tab from Kate into the space outside of the program should open up the tab in a new instance. Currently Kate seems to want to copy the file instead which is completely unexpected and unintuitive. Dragging and dropping a tab outside of Kate should default to 'detach document' and the reverse will add the tab to Kate. Currently if you pull a tab into Kate, the existing instance of Kate with that tab will stay open... expected behaviour is that it will close automatically. This has been the default for tabbed applications for a long long time now, especially for notepad applications. It's such a useful feature and the functionality already exists, I don't see why this hasn't already been added. It's odd that Kate is so feature rich but simple quality of life features like this get completely overlooked or flat out ignored. It feels that the tabs in Kate are only halfway implemented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
