Script to move a tab to the right or to the left

Bernardo_V · March 27, 2021, 10:43pm

I feel like I should have written this script a long time ago…

Hopefully, it will be useful to others as well.

Move tab right

bcdavasconcelos/DEVONthink-3/blob/master/Applescripts/Tab - Move Right.md

# Move tab to the right


```applescript

use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
use scripting additions

-- 2021-03-27-08-36 bcdav

tell application id "DNtp"
	
	set theWin to front window
	set n to count tabs in theWin
	set theTabsBefore to tabs of theWin
	set theTab to current tab of theWin
	set thePos to my getPositionOfItemInList(theTab, theTabsBefore)
	if thePos < n then
		set theMainRec to the uuid of content record of the current tab of theWin
		close theTab

Move tab left

	if thePos > 1 then
		set theMainRec to the uuid of content record of the current tab of theWin
		close theTab

Attach tab

And I also updated my script to attach a tab to another window. I think it works much better now.

github.com

bcdavasconcelos/DEVONthink-3/blob/master/Applescripts/Tab - Attach.md

# Attach tab

```applescript


-- 2021-03-27-08-40 bcdav

tell application id "DNtp"
	
	set WinClass to (class of front window) as text
	
	if WinClass is "viewer window" then
		set n to count the selection
		
		if n ≤ 1 then
			set theRecord to (content record of think window 1)
			set theTab to the current tab of think window 1
			set theURL to the reference URL of theRecord
			close theTab
			open tab for record theRecord in document window 1

Interesting idea.
