[opensuse-gnome] moving firefox tabs around
How does one move firefox tabs from one window to another? With a usable GNOME, as shipped in 11.4, one drags it down to the desired window in the taskbar, which causes it to come to the front. Now the tab can be dropped into that window. Now with TW this is very cumbersome: one has to click to the tab thing in the hope that the window becomes unmaximised or otherwise changes size. This causes the other windows to become visible. Now there is a slim chance that the desired window is visible, and the tab can be moved over to that window.

While dragging, move to the hot corner of GNOME Shell, this will switch to overview mode and then, you can switch to the Firefox windows and then release on it. -- Frederic Crozat Enterprise Desktop Release Manager SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
I've found snapping to sides of the screen more convenient, snap two Firefox windows to each side of the screen and then drag the tab as you like ;) Either drag the windows to borders of the screen or use the hotkeys: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/KeyboardShortcuts It's called "Toggle tiled left/right" in the ref above.

This works. Perhaps I did not move far enough or whatever is responsible did not react. With some patience moving succeeds at the first try. Olaf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
