I don’t know about that, on Windows you drag the window all the way to the left, or all the way to the right and it automatically snaps to half the screen, and that’s that. It’s the very model Apple has been unsuccessfully trying to copy for years, and only recently got right.
I’ve done so, merging it into the original(-ish) feature request thread. Scrolling up, you’ll see this was considered and denied already. I wouldn’t say that’s a permanent no, I think today we have a better design premise to work from than we did back then (like say adding the colour button to the binder tab, the same one used for collections, and storing that value in the same rough area collections would store their colours), but I wouldn’t cross my fingers on it happening.
I don’t do split screens, even in Scrivener. The form factor is too small for me.
Clicking a tab between projects would be useful to me, having embraced the original OneNote concept.
There may still be hope for tabs in Windows, since they recently (probably a year by now) got around to implementing it in File Explorer. Nothing has passed by the Canary Channel yet.
Okay, I use a 27" screen so there is plenty of space for two or three things going on at once in all but the most demanding of projects.
I might have misunderstood what you were talking about though. I guess I’m the opposite in that regard, I’ve never been a huge fan of the tab design. If I want stuff hidden behind other things then I’ll just stack them that way and use the shortcut to flip between windows of the same application (is that a Windows thing actually, come to think of it? It’s easy to do in my Linux setup, which also has a visual tool where you hit a button and can view all windows in an overlay and click on the one you want or start typing to filter down by window title and punch Enter to activate). The main thing that I don’t care for with tabs is how they become very awkward to use after you have a certain number of them open. I tend to always use workspace sidebars in the programs that are heavily dependent upon them (more like a binder). Even in my web browser, which has a sidebar showing all open windows and all tabs nested within them, I find that a more efficient approach.
But yeah, hopefully for those that do like them, MS gets it out of the beta idea phase. Wasn’t it in Canary a few years ago, and then removed? Maybe it was even more of a dev test channel than that, come to think of it. Either way, I seem to recall it went down similarly on the Mac—came to the file manager first, and then was made available to any software that wanted it.
