Option to open tabs on double click instead of single click #64

Open cxw42 opened 7 years ago

cxw42 commented 7 years ago

Are there any other double-click actions of interest?

Note: looks fairly straightforward

maybe something like, ctrl+double click to open the tab in a new window or clone it? not sure how useful it would be I was just trying to get away from the single click action/execution. it's not the best for security to have things open up/run on single click, also not really the best in UIX design

Thinking about it, I can break down actions two ways:

Actions that change visibility (e.g., bring a tab to the front)
Actions that change working set (e.g., open or close a window or tab; add, delete, or change labels or other information about windows or tabs)

I appreciate the point that changing working set with only one click can sometimes be problematic (see also #51). What about changing visibility? Would single-click to focus an already-open tab make sense, or should all actions be double-click or modifier+click?

I will likely continue with the existing behaviour even after this is implemented. :) Therefore, feel free to specify exactly what you'd like to see in this option --- I am unlikely to argue.

no action on click itself I guess, I think single click and drag to move the nodes is probably the best way to go about it. I use that extensively (in TO) to organise branches, making sub-branches and in general organising the sea of tabs that I often have open/saved into a somewhat coherent chunks of information. (at the moment I have over 3500 nodes on TO..... branching made that possible)

@cxw42 Chris, with TFSwitch I can right click and move the window to the top, but it would be nice to be able to have HOT KEYS for nearly everything to avoid using the mouse:

A single click for selection of the window in the tree
CTRL-Home and CTRL-End to move the window to the top or the bottom (like TO)
CTRL-Up/Down to move the window up or down a position in the tree (like TO)
Home and End for just jumping to the top and bottom of a very long tree - like I have in TO at the moment but will gradually become an issue for me in TFS as I move stuff over . .

I also like keyboard shortcuts. They are #28 - I will edit the title to make that more obvious.
