I use the 3 Panes View and usually have up to 5 tabs open. Just like on a web browser I find tabs very useful.
It would be nice if DT showed the parent Group in the upper pane when selecting a note on a tab. I quite often work on unrelated topics using a tab for each one. Quite often I need to refer to another note within the same group, but the upper pane shows notes from a previous unrelated tab.
My work would be so much more productive if the associated group was displayed in the upper pane as I selected different tabs.
Thank you for this suggestion, Christian. It never occurred to me to use tabs in a standalone document window. I will use this approach.
But I have a question about tabs in the three-pane view. (This may be the same as the above remark.) I use three-pane view. On the left pane are groups, on the top-right pane are a list of documents, and the bottom-right pane is the selected document. I open multiple tabs of documents in the bottom-right pane. But as I switch between documents (sometime located in different groups), the top-right and the left panes remain static (aligned with the last document I tabbed-open in the bottom-right pane). Now my question: is there a way for me to get the top-right and left panes to adjust to the tabbed document that I happen to be viewing at the moment?
I see that you answered this question for tabbed documents opened in a separate window. But what about tabbed documents within the three-pane view?
One additional trick that might help you: when working in the document window (e.g., the bottom right pane in the 3 pane view), you can always press Cmd-R to reveal the document in the left and top panes.
This requires a shortcut, but it does help to quickly make the top and left panes match the document (whether in a tab or not) you are working on.
