Group Tabs

Group Tabs let you combine multiple content tabs into a single tab that has its own internal split pane layout. This is useful for creating focused workspaces — like viewing an issue and its related PR side by side within one tab.

Creating a Group Tab

1. Right-click any closeable content tab
2. Select Group Tab — Split Right or Group Tab — Split Down

The tab converts into a group, and you can drag additional tabs into it.

How Group Tabs Work

• The group tab appears as a single tab in the outer tab bar with a grid icon and sub-tab count badge
• Inside, the group has its own split panes, each with its own tab bar
• Sub-tabs retain all their original functionality

Adding and Removing Sub-Tabs

• Drag a tab from the outer bar into a group pane to absorb it
• Right-click a sub-tab > Return to Tab Bar to pop it back out
• Drag a sub-tab to the outer edge of the group to pop it out

Closing a Group Tab

When you close a group tab, all sub-tabs move back to the outer tab bar — they are never destroyed. If any sub-tab has unsaved changes, a confirmation dialog appears first.

Restrictions

• Anchored tabs (like the File Browser) cannot be absorbed into groups
• Group tabs are fully serialized — their layout persists across app restarts

Use Cases

• Compare two files side by side within one tab
• View an issue alongside its pull request
• Create a focused “workspace” grouping related content tabs
