[xwiki-devs] [Idea] Keep tabs opened for wiki pages
Hi, Here's an idea: Have tabs in the xwiki UI so that when you navigate to a new page you can keep tabs opened and thus switch back and forth between opened pages quickly. Same as in an IDEA (or in the Nexus UI). Just an idea... (haven't even thought about how to implement it). -Vincent

Sounds like reproducing tabbed browsing to me, WDYT ?

Exactly. I'd be -1 on this. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Yes i doubt we need to redo browser job.

I'm not going to fight this but I think it's different. There's a reason why using XEclipse/TimTam leads to 10x productivity gains. Thanks -Vincent

In our case the panels depend more or less on the active wiki page so if we have: * two "tabs", one with a wiki page in edit mode and another with a wiki page in view mode, or * two "tabs", each with a wiki page from a different space (say Blog and Main) then the panels will change when the user switches the "tabs". This doesn't happen in Eclipse. Eclipse has the notion of view (debug, svn, java) and while you are in the same view switching the tabs doesn't change the panels but only their content. Marius

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. Thanks. Ricardo Vincent Massol wrote:

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? How do we handle tab clutter? The productivity gains come from tabs, and tabs should be managed by the browser. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

No. It must be optional.
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).
