Tabs

Overview

Tabs in Control Space are a 1:1 representation of your actual browser tabs:

Opening a tab in your browser will create a new tab item in Control Space, and closing a tab in Control Space will close the physical browser tab (and vice versa).

In addition, you can rename, drag, multi-select, cut-and-paste, nudge, detach, save, load, import, sleep, wake and various other actions.
