Subject: Tabs in KDE
Date: Monday 24 February 2003 00:28
From: <jeremy.hooks@dsl.pipex.com>
To: <kde-usability-issues@mail.kde.org>

I have noticed a number of posts in this list about the usability of tabs in
Konqueror.  I believe that the problem with tabs is not limited to Konqueror,
but that there is a general lack of consistancy in (what I would refer to as)
'user tabs' in KDE.  User tabs are tabs which are created as and when the
 user requires them (as opposed the hard coded tabs you get in dialog boxes
 for settings and such like).

There are 'user tabs' in Konqueror, Quanta Plus and Konsole and probably
 other apps (though these are three I use the most).  The best implementation
 IMHO are those in Konsole.  One feature I would like to see in Konqueror
 (and Quanta Plus) is the 'new' button, much like Konsole's it would allow
 you to choose the category of tab you wanted to create (i.e. choose a view
 profile).  Obviously there should be some sort of close button tab button in
 Konqueror, which takes you to the last active tab when you close the current
 tab (Konsole could do with one too (though I imagine most people just hit
 CTRL-D)).

BTW if anyone knows of (or comes up with) a better name than 'user tabs' I
 would like to know.

Regards.

J Hooks.
