Mode specific actions to tabs?
I do get a certain impression that people who propose
non-switch-pane-of-content uses for tabs are really looking for just
more toolbars - rows of buttons. NOT tabs, which have specific ui
affordances towards being "for" managing stacked panes of content, and
often the same panes that may also be tiled (like emacs).
And emacs has panes of content - windows...
Cnsider the GIMP's tab docks - You can have a layers window, channels
window and paths window (not the gimp terminology, they actually call
each window a "tab") docked into a tab group or a brushes window,
layers window and palette window. Or whatever. And rearrange them as
you see fit.
[What's more, in contrast to ancient and quirky motif notebooks which
used tabs like the index cards in a rolodex, not necessarily attached to
every pane of content in the stack, in a splendid example of overly
literal real-world analogy, modern guis have pretty much settled on that
being 1:1]
Having said that, it would be possible to have both - my interwindow
tabs as an interface for managing the window split 3rd axis, and further
intrawindow tabs associated with a single window like a modeline, that
could either be mode-specific and presumably handled with callbacks to
the mode code, or for what I strongly suspect people given such a
callback api would end up wheel-reinventing repeatedly: a kind of
narrowing the mode could initiate, with sections of the whole buffer
narrowed to the different tabs.
