Files: Context menu for tabs

[szaimen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to change the sort order of tabs and open already open tabs in new windows

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to pull one tab out of the tab row to let it open in a new window. (you can do this in edge) and change the sort order of tabs through pulling

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe you could also enable us to right-click on tabs to get e.g. the following options (most of the are also seen e.g. in Edge):

• [x] duplicate tab
• [x] move tab to new window (most important in my opinion)
• [ ] close tabs to the right
• [ ] pin tab
• [x] new tab

Additional context

Maybe "move tab to new window" could get updated to "move tab to new window or to an already open other window"?
I can do this if you agree.

I don't want to add too many options to the menu but if enough people would find it helpful then we can explore adding a second option "Move to an existing window" and that would have a sub menu with the other open windows.

This is no longer relevant since the latest version has removed TabView.

Why, do you have a screenshot of the new tab layout?

[Jaiganeshkumaran]

Here's the new layout. Tabs are no longer stacked on the top like a browser. Instead, there's now a button for switching between and adding new tabs.

Thanks for the screenshot!

This is optional... right?

I am afraid, I guess it is not optional.

[Jaiganeshkumaran]

@szaimen You're right. This is not optional. The entire tab system has been rewritten.

[generalguy41]

@Jaiganeshkumaran that's really unfortunate.

[Jaiganeshkumaran]

Horizontal tabs are back in the latest preview.

Maybe add another option related to this #1691
