Tabs and split view

#Tabs New in 0.9.6 · , in the :beta image

On computers and tablets you open pages in tabs, as in a code editor. ⌘-click (Windows/Linux: Ctrl-click) or the middle mouse button on a page in the page tree, under favourites, on a page link, or on Home, Inbox or My tasks opens a new tab, in the quick search ⌘Enter; if the place is already open in a tab, you switch to it. A plain click opens the page in the active tab. From two tabs on, the tab bar appears above the page, with each page's icon and title.

• Reorder: drag a tab, or press ⌥⇧←/⌥⇧→ while a tab is focused.
• Close: ×, the middle mouse button, ⌥W, or Delete on the focused tab; in the desktop app also ⌘W.
• Switch: click, or ⌘⌥PageDown/⌘⌥PageUp; in the desktop app also ⌃Tab and ⌘1 … ⌘9. All shortcuts are listed under Keyboard shortcuts.
• Right-click a tab: move it to the other view, open it there again, close the tab, close other tabs, close the view.
• History: every tab has its own history. The arrows at the top left and ⌘[/⌘] go through the history of the active tab in the view you are in; the browser's back and forward through the left view's. The address shows the active tab of the left view.
• Remembered: your device remembers the tabs and views per workspace and restores them after a reload; a new window on the start address takes them over, a link to a specific page starts with one tab. Pages moved to the trash or no longer readable for you are left out.
• Phones have no tabs – everything stays as before.

#Split view

Two views side by side – say notes on the left and the task database on the right –, each with its own tabs. A page opens in the other view with:

• Open in split view in the right-click menu of a page in the page tree,
• ⌘ ⇧-click (Windows/Linux: Ctrl ⇧-click) on a page in the page tree, under favourites or on a page link in the text New in 0.9.6 · , in the :beta image,
• dragging a page from the page tree or a tab to the right edge of the window (a drop area appears there),
• ⌘⌥S or Open a page beside it … in the … menu: the quick search opens the chosen page on the right.

Each view has its own tab bar. You can drag tabs between the views; closing a view's last tab closes the view. The same page may be open in both views. Home, Inbox, My tasks, Settings and similar areas only show in the left view – on the right you get Open in the left view instead. New in 0.9.6 · , in the :beta image Documents can be edited in both halves; databases, whiteboards and dashboards work as usual.

Drag the divider between the halves with the mouse; with the keyboard, tab to it, then ← / → (with ⇧ in large steps), Home / End for the narrowest and widest position, Enter or a double-click for half and half. The device remembers the width.

Dragging a page from the page tree into a document in the other half inserts a link to it there; selected text and blocks can be dragged between the two documents (they are copied).

The active page of the right view is part of the address (?split=…): reloading and bookmarks keep the split view. Windows up to 1024 pixels wide and phones do not have it – there, the same ways open the page as usual.
