I've taken a more detailed look at the tabs. I like the clean look and the functionality very much. To make multi-selecting tabs perfect: - I would like to be able to shift-click to multi-select; - if I command-click on a already selected tab, I would like it to be removed from the set of selected tabs; - I would like the horizontal line below the selected tabs to go away, to make clearer that I'm looking at multiple tabs; - when I resize a column, I would like the relative size to stay when I add another one; - I'm not sure making the order of the panes dependent on the order in which the tabs are selected is a good idea, especially when you allow reordering tabs by drag-and-drop; I think position based ordering is easier to understand; - one way of showing what pane belongs to which tab, would be to draw a thin colored line from the tab to the pane; there is some vertical space you could use for that; - another would be to put a (opaque) icon with an arrow (in a circle?) pointing at the center of the pane over the tab.

Indeed :)
- if I command-click on a already selected tab, I would like it to be removed from the set of selected tabs;
Yes, it was on my todo list, but I forgot it ^^
- I would like the horizontal line below the selected tabs to go away, to make clearer that I'm looking at multiple tabs;
This one I also wanted it, but it's a bit tricky :)
- when I resize a column, I would like the relative size to stay when I add another one;
This is really hard (almost impossible)
- I'm not sure making the order of the panes dependent on the order in which the tabs are selected is a good idea, especially when you allow reordering tabs by drag-and-drop; I think position based ordering is easier to understand;
I do not understand
- one way of showing what pane belongs to which tab, would be to draw a thin colored line from the tab to the pane; there is some vertical space you could use for that;
I am afraid it looks bad, i will investigate
- another would be to put a (opaque) icon with an arrow (in a circle?) pointing at the center of the pane over the tab.
Why not :) This one could be fun Thank you for your feedback Ben
