Opening a new tab

You can use tabs to help organize and selectively display information in the view pane. Workbench allows you to create multiple tabbed views.

1. Open a new tab in the view pane by any of the following methods:
   • Use the keystroke combination Ctrl: Click + t.
   • From the menu bar, select File > New Tab.
     
     
   • If tabs already exist, right-click on a tab and select New Tab from the popup menu.
     
     
   A new tab (identical to the previous one) opens in the view pane. You can use each tab to display a different view, component, or even host, all within the same window.
   
   

   When you select a tab (make it active), the locator bar shows the current path and view. Also, the menu and tool bars update to show appropriate options for the current view. You can move to the next tab by choosing (from menu bar) File > Next Tab.

   From active tab view, you can copy items, select another tab, and paste them into that view. You can also drag items into an active view from the (Nav or Palette) side bar.

   New tab opens.
2. To close the active tab in the view pane, use any of the following methods:
   • Click (Close icon) located in the upper-right corner of the view, just below the View drop-down list.
   • Right-click a tab and choose Close Tab to close that tab.
     
     
   • Right-click a tab and choose Close Other Tabs to close all tabs except that tab.
     
     
   • From the menu bar, chooseFile > Close Tab.
