I'd like to be able to have 2-3 columns of tabs and be able to drag + rearrange, something like Eclipse's draggable tab setup -- one of the few things I like about Eclipse.
I assume this is non-trivial ... how horribly difficult would it be?
Multiple columns/rows of tabs, how hard can it be?
@#&* hard, AFAICT you will have to change GTK, not Geany.
Note drag re-ordering already works.

Can I at least have multiple sidebars with tabs being draggable between them (or make the message window a sidebar) ? :)
Hi Thomas,
Well, tabs are part of the GTK notebook that the edit window is in, so to put them in a sidebar you would be re-implementing part of GTK, maybe instead look at making the document sidebar re-orderable instead of sorted?
Currently Geany isn't so nice on a wide screen setup because much of the horizontal space is wasted, being bound to 80 or 100 column limit for source code. Vertical space is wasted because the message window could be a sidebar on wide screens.
Agree that widescreens are not a very good fit, so to maximise vertical space I hide the message window whenever possible and put the tabs on the left, you certainly can fit many more in there than on top, and for me thats enough. YMMV of course.
Although the message window contents doesn't usually use the entire screen width, having the message window in the sidebar restricts its width too much IMHO and of course split window wouldn't fit any more.
Cheers Lex
Best regards.
