I know this isn't exactly tabs but it's related... I'd love a better Single Window Mode.

Two things I can think of are: - re-order the tabs (already covered by your proposal) - keep Z-order of tabs On the last one, I'll expand a little here: You have say three tabs in your window, numbered 1, 2, 3 from left to right. Tab 1 has focus and you switch to tab 3. If you now close tab 3, Camino will give focus to the tab to the left of 3, which is 2, instead of 1 which I would have liked. Rationale is as follows: I often open links in a new tab, especially when I'm on a page that has a list of links that I want to visit all. Sometimes such page is on tab 1, while another page is on tab 2. So the links I open from tab 1, appear in (a new) tab 3. Then closing tab 3 (because I'm done with it) returns me to tab 2, which I don't need at that moment. I think this "feature" is known as Z-order, where the tabs are stacked in the order of the last focus. On each focus, the position of the tab in the stack is raised to the top. On removal of a tab, the focus goes to the tab that is one level below in the stack, or one up if the tab is the last one. -- Ruurd - runs Mac OS X 10.4.6, uses Vim _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
