Add tab context menu to move a tab to another group

Open mnoorenberghe opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

The built-in tab group feature had a context menu on tabs to move them to another group. I used this daily to move tabs that I opened in the wrong group and it's the main feature of this extension that I've been missing. Is there any way in this extension to move tabs between groups?

@denschub: Sorry if im zombiefying this. I would like to add a use case/arguments for reopening this: Suppose i have a tab that i want to move from my current to another group. I will have to perform the following steps:

  1. Open group menu
  2. unfold respective group
  3. select tab (+ scrolling)
  4. drop tab to different group (+ scrolling)

That would be 4 steps including scrolling if my groups have many tabs. Additionally, dropping a tab into another group automatically switches to that group. So if i just want to get a tab out of the way and stay in the current group, i have 2 additional steps to do: open menu and select the group originally opened. Thats kinda uncomfortable.

Thus, I'd like to suggest implementing a context menu as well. So wie can select a tab, send it to another group and be done with it in 2 steps (+ expanding mouseover menus). Personally i think this would greatly add to the ease of use of this otherwise great addon.

Please, can this be implemented?

Closing in favor of #1.

Both #1 and (this) #29 were closed and (unless I'm missing something) the contextual menu is not implemented.

Arf! I never realized you could do as @fllp wrote above; went back to Quicksaver's add-on for that reason (couldn't move tabs between groups) for the time being. I bet my mind is glued to « start from the tabs » for any tab-related action; and that's only reinforced by using Tree Style Tab --which makes the TabGroups stand too far away anyway.

Like @grahamperrin I'd really like to have a contextual menu too. 👍

Okay, fine. I'll reopen, if y'all promise me to stop posting comments but using the thumbs-up-reaction instead, okay? ;)
