Will Tabbed Windows Be the Next Big Thing?

Posted by timothy on from the oh-for-the-love-of-gimp dept.

kai_hiwatari writes "The recently released KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1 has introduced tabbed windows as a new feature. It is now possible to tab together windows from different applications. This looks like it will be a very good productivity tool. Like the tabbed browsers, this may well end up as a feature in all desktop environments in the years ahead."

    Hopefully it will drive a little more to quick keyboard shortcuts. I used ion3, and my favorite feature was going quickly from screen to screen with ALT+1, ALT+2, etc. The Opera browser uses similar quick-shortcuts with 1 to move left a tab, 2 to move right a tab. Fast.

    Now, the documentation to set up ion3 was rough, but for a work computer I liked it a lot.
