It is analogous to tabs as used in web browsers + and other text editors, and therefore orthogonal to Perspective. +- Tab Bar maintains window layouts (with optional names). In this, it is similar + to Perspective. Unlike Perspective, it does not support buffer lists. Using + Perspective and Tab Bar at the same time is not recommended at this time, + since the tab list is global (i.e., will show up in all perspectives) and is + likely to cause confusion. It would be an interesting future feature for + Perspective to adopt the tab bar and allow keeping a distinct set of tabs + per-perspective. + ## Compatibility |
