Feature Reques: Add "open in new window" for file tab

Open xaljer opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It would be useful to compare two open files.

By the way, it would be good if we have a "diff" mode to use for comparing normal log and error log. Other diff tools may lack features for log file such as search or mark. But I also can imagine that import a diff function to klogg may be a big work and hard to adapt current features in many details. Just leave this idea for discussion.

Simple diff can be done in a separate window, like scratchpad is now. However, it won't be a very feature-rich tool. Theoretically, tabs in klogg are designed in such a way that embedding diff view into one of them should be possible, but it is still quite a lot of work. Currently there is only one type of tab content, so no one knows all hidden issues with that.

Klogg supports several windows (feature needs to be enabled in settings). Moving tabs between them is not yet implemented, so a bit of manual work is required for now.
