Hi Andrew, thanks for useful info. I didn't know you could rename tabs like
that. I only ever use one tab and just use views when I want to work on a
different subset of tasks which overrides content of active tab (which is
fine as I can simply switch to a different set of tasks by selecting a
different view). Thanks for the tip - if I don't want new tabs to appear
when I switch views I need to unset 'Lock default in this tab' (that seems
to work - thank you). Not so worried about screen space, the issue was more
about how to operate MLO using a single-tab (which is why I don't need tab
bar) but may check into AutoHotKey and see what else I could use it for.
Many thanks
Jon
