No. It must be optional.
May I support Vincent's idea? I think to
point is to avoid opening
several "full browser" windows and to have a number of document tabs
within a browser window.
I don't know how good is this from "resources economy" point of view,
but I think it will be ergonomic.
I always say that the user should be in charge. Do documents always open
in a new pseudo-tab? If so, I wouldn't like it at all. I know which
documents I need and which I don't. How do we handle URLs?
Right-clicking an URL allows to choose between opening it in a new tab
or in a new browser window (OmniWeb has four different options). I don't
know if it would be possible to have a keyboard modifier to get it
opened in a new tab "within" the XWiki window. If this is not possible,
I think it would be better to forget about XWiki tabs.
How do we handle tab clutter?
We must a keyboard shortcut to cycle the tabs.
The productivity gains come from tabs, and tabs should
be managed by the
browser.
I do agree. But I can see at least two advantages using XWiki tabs: to
compare content (much easier if you can avoid all browser components but
content's window) and to save/share resources (I don't know at what
extent this could be significative).
Thanks!
Ricardo
