Duplicating tabs

#1 Post by winzilla » 2023-09-20 11:09

Good morning, wondering if it would be possible to add a small feature to right-click a tab and duplicate it (in addition to existing "Create/Close/Refresh" options).

Create just opens a new tab, which doesn't really accomplish much... what would be nice is doing so and auto-navigating the server and client to the same locations as the original. Otherwise you have to open the site from Site Manager to the default location configured for it (which is usually what I want when starting, but maybe not when in the middle of something) and then re-navigate both sides by copy/pasting paths. It's just a bit clumsy, so would be a nice quality-of-life improvement, as I do this type of thing a lot, usually when I want to keep using the same client or server location but change the other one to something else. I keep subconciously right-clicking tabs and expecting to duplicate them before realizing you can't, it just feels like it should be there (e.g. the same way browsers let you duplicate tabs).

I think other people have asked for this before, just wondering do you see this being on the roadmap or not currently?

If you create a new tab and then click on reconnect, you should end up in the exact same place as in the previous tab.

There's even a two-finger sliding guesture on the keyboard for it: Press Ctrl+T and slide the finger from T to R while keeping Ctrl firmly pressed down.

I couldn't find "Reconnect" in the GUI but that keyboard shortcut works like a charm, thanks!
A GUI option would still be nice but this is just as (maybe even more) handy, for those who know about it.

In the menu: Server -> Reconnect
In the toolbar: The reconnect button, 5th from the right.
