Tab Windows
Tab Windows have long been a powerful aid to productivity in Pyramix. You can still use Tab Windows in the same
way as version 5 and earlier but you will miss out on some major ‘Power User’ features if that is all you do.
Just as before, clicking on a Tab opens the associated Window in the space below the Project Editing Panel and
double-clicking a Tab opens the associated Window floating. Double-clicking the title-bar of a floating Tab Win-
dow restores it to the space below the Project Editing panel.
Tab Behavior
Tabs can be ‘torn away’ to open as floating Windows in blank screen space by simply clicking on the Tab and drag-
ging. clicking the
X closes a floating Window and the Tab is removed from the Tab pool. This means that the inter-
face can be streamlined by removing Tabs you never use or which are inappropriate for the specific task in hand.
Tabs removed in this way can be restored by choosing
View > Editor Tabs and clicking on the required Tab or
Show all Tabs to restore all closed Tabs.
Apart from this last feature, the ability to remove Tabs from the user interface, simple Tab behavior is almost iden-
tical to previous versions. However, there are many other things you can do with Tabs to enhance productivity.
