Hi Desmond!

Only elaborating on aforementioned ideas, here's what I would love to see:

Dragging tabs to a new window
A tab dragged outside the current window (and not onto a different one) should create its own new window, as done by OmniWeb. Sort of the drag'n'drop version of the context menu entry "Move Tab to New Window".

Reordering tabs
The feedback should be similar to that of moving objects within the Dock or when customizing a Toolbar: the other objects elegantly making way for the new arriver. And maybe holding Cmd could toggle the Replace Tab mode instead.

Dragging tabs (in general)
Personally, I wouldn't mind at all if the whole tab, not just the favicon, would serve as handle.

Happy coding!!! :)

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hello, I am Camino's Summer of Code student. I have been accepted by the Mozilla Foundation to overhaul the current tabbed-browsing code this summer. As such, this is a request for features post. I will probably prefix all of
my posts with [SOC] so they can be easily identified.

I would like you to reply to this topic every zany, inventive, interesting idea that you've ever had about tabbed-browsing, or that you've ever wanted to see in a tabbed-browsing environment and we (the rest of the developers)
will decide if anything suggested should be implemented.

My original proposal:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/~s0128959/SummerofCodeProposal.pdf (some
people have complained that the quality of this document is poor, I'm not
sure what happened with the pdftex typeset in TeXShop, but I shall be
converting it to an html file soon.)

This message has also been sent to the MozillaZine forum
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=420514 for feedback. Smokey Ardisson recommended that I post it to both the forum and the mailing-list
because they cater to different users.

I hope to see some great ideas that might work with what I am trying to do.

Desmond Elliott
