Managing Tabs

Parent Previous Next

Each Sonnet Tab contains a Window menu which allows you to manage and configure your workspace, that consists of tabs, toolbars, and panels. All items in this menu operate in the same manner for all tabs and this functionality is described below:

Detach Tab: Select this command to separate the presently selected tab in the main Sonnet window from this window and create a second Sonnet window.

Dock Tab: Select this command to return the presently selected tab to the main Sonnet window.

Detach All Tabs: Select this command to create a separate Sonnet window for every tab in the present in the main Sonnet window.

Dock all Tabs: Select this command to merge all existing Sonnet windows into one main window.

Close Tab: Select this command to close the present tab. If the present tab is the only open Sonnet window, you will exit Sonnet.

Toolbars and Panels: The Toolbars and Panels menu contain a mixture of items which are common to all tabs and ones that are specific to that tab. See Managing Toolbars and Panels for an explanation of the common menu items. For tab-specific commands, see the Toolbars and Panels topic for that particular tab.

Note: That there can only be one Sonnet session open at a time but there can be multiple Sonnet windows. Each Sonnet window is part of the same session and the session manager in all Sonnet windows displays the same information.
