I don't understand the description of what this would do, so I cannot say whether I would want it or not.

Separate from de-duping, I would like to be able to sort tabs by name to help me organize.


I just saved about 70 tabs and there are numerous sub pages from the same site, etc. Being able to sort the list of tabs would be a big help. I'm sure that would have to be a paid feature and that's fine.


Thanks.

I too would like to be able to sort tabs by name.

I have the same problem when I have multiple help pages open for the same product and the first words of the tab name are the product, so even with full width tabs, I don't get a meaningful difference between the tabs. So I get it.


Here's what I started doing, even before I saw this was an "urgent" feature.


At the point in your work where you want to rename the tab, add a note in OT instead. The tab itself will not change, but it will change in OT.

The OT notes can be whatever I want, usually I copy the title of the FAQ or the document subsection and paste that into OT. I can see lots of longish notes stacked up in OT and I can tell one draft version from another because I added the note. I would have to go through some kind of cut/paste operation in any other system.

I can look at OT and open exactly the tab I want. If it's already open, I don't get a duplicate. If I use Ctrl+Tab to move between tabs in Chrome, OT shows me which one I'm on and I can see the notes to tell what it is.


What am I missing that makes this not work for you? The fact that the notes are not on the tabs themselves? In my work, I need more than will fit there anyway.

I just discovered TO and am using it on a Mac. Yes, you can open a whole TO window and then select multiple tabs in Chrome and create a new window, splitting the original set.


At first I didn't think I was multi-selecting in Chrome because the selection is a very slight color change, but it worked as it's supposed to. And then the two windows were split inside of TO.

But it would be much more convenient to do all my work inside TO instead of having to move to an entirely different usage paradigm for a simple task, especially when my recognition of the need for the task takes place inside TO. That, I think, is the primary UI argument for it, to have the function performed in the same place that you recognize the need. Otherwise you have complex mapping to do in your head.

For example: Inside TO I see that a window has these Amazon tabs, these email tabs, and these Facebook tabs. I'm looking right at them. But I can't just grab the whole set that I recognize and move it. I have to move them one at a time, either stacking them up in a hierarchy that I then need to unravel or moving them all one by one into a new Group. Or I open the whole window into Chrome and then have to do the complex mapping from the entries inside TO to the tabs in another part of the screen.


Sure it can be done, but it's not intuitive. Just like the one at a time moving, it requires a large number of re-identify, re-aim, re-select operations that slows my actions and my thoughts down. I end up concentrating on the minutia of a step-by-step task that ought to be fast and easy because my works that way thanks to doing exactly that kind of thing in so many other contexts.

You suggested you would work on this "this Summer" three years ago, and again two years ago. Either this is harder than you expected or there are other tasks getting in your way. Perhaps your user community could help with either this feature or the other tasks. You have the best product in this area and I'm sure there would be people who would be honored to help. (For example, maybe a local user could babysit for you, if kids are the obstacle.) My experience is that people are happy to help out if good comes out of it.

Thanks for all the hard work and for a great product.
