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? I'm not very C or GTK experienced, but I got into Geany to learn more and it would be a fun contribution to work on and one day maybe finish? Haha.
Happy Friday!

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) ? :)
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.
Best regards.

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?

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.

I didn't mean document tabs. I meant the symbols, files, etc tabs in the side bar which should be draggable to a second sidebar on the right (basically split the current sidebar into two with the editor in the middle).
Best regards.

GTK+ allows any tab to be dragged to any notebook as long as they have the same group id/name[1]. The only real limitation is the assumption Geany currently may make about certain tabs being in certain notebooks.

+1.
Like this: http://tinypic.com/r/dnoto8/6
Where you can choose between any of the layouts (with or without "splitview" enabled) and drag tabs between any same colourednotebooks. All notebooks can be hidden except for one of the blue document notebooks (the main document notebook).

You can imagine also how this would be useful for plugins such as Webhelper or MultiTerm (or the builtin terminal). Like this:

What does 'notebook' refer to in this context? It sounds like it refers to the windowspace of the gtk app as a whole? Or did I get that wrong?
