UI/UX Inconsistencies between cosmic-edit and cosmic-term tabs

Open kleenleen opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Why are the tabs for cosmic-edit and cosmic-term so different while serving the same overall purpose: -managing text/code display from multiple file/sessions.

If you made one design for one, the other core-app should follow the same UX concept. Both apps already have inconsistent tabs workflow while not being complete. It feels like cosmic-terms tries to mimic gnome-terminal rather than doing thing it's own better way.

Cosmic term should have: -small tabs when created rather than tabs extended all the way across the window. -the add tab button should be next to the most right tab instead of weirdly being in the top bar. -cosmic-term should have the left panel enabled, to load profiles, rather than having to do it from a submenu.

-tabs should be detachable (separate and merge mode) by drag and dropping them just like Firefox can do, even across two instances.
