Bug Description
Having the apps tabbed, outside of a browser.
This would probably defeat the design for this, but making the tabs detachable/moveable might be good. In the interests of being able to copy and paste things more easily w/out losing sight of the other window.
I'm not an artist so I'll try and describe this. One of the things that I bought a second monitor for is two fold. One, the psychological effect of keeping things on a separate plane, even though it was still on the same. The main reason however was being able to keep two instances of the same application up in clear windows where I could glance at one, copy from it and paste into the other..
Being able to detach the tabs either as a 'tab' or like firefox opening up another instance when you drag off a tab, would be pretty useful for those of use who copy and paste a lot of things. Web editing is pretty useless for me at least because that doesn't seem to allow for what I need. Or if just a check box on the corner with something like "Keep document visual", that would be great too.
Yeah, I know its' all about 'me' and what I need. Abiword is useless on large docs, Libreoffice can't do collaboration(yet?) so I need something that can cope. :)
Ok, you were heard and it's now on the TODO list, but you got to be a bit patient. This will require a lot of restructuring because it's everything built around a single window right now :)
