# Tabs and split view
Keep several pages open: in tabs above the page and in two views side by side.
## 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](/keyboard-shortcuts#tabs).
- **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](#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.
> [!NOTE]
> ⌘/Ctrl-click now opens a new tab instead of the split view; use ⌘ ⇧-click for the split view. (new in 0.9.6, in the :beta image) A multiple selection in the page tree starts with ⇧-click or the tick icon of the space; after that, ⌘/Ctrl-click adds more pages too.
