What about the following points: - tabs are useful when browsing the web, I've found them less useful with terminals (I disable them since they eat screen-estate, even if I have plenty of that to go around). - having multiple views is certainly useful, however I dislike the idea of having a "small" toolbar to indicate them as well. Most of the time I'm not interested in seeing how many I have - but, sometimes it's useful to see what the different tabs are doing So, what I'm proposing is having an appview per session, and listing all open sessions (and what they're doing/current directory) in the appview menu (directly or in a submenu). Besides, if not using bt-keyboard (iff it will work), the virtual keyboard will be eating a lot of screenestate as it is. How does this sound? Certainly easier to implement than a small toolbar or having the tab-view. ak. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
