Dockable layout support for tabs #42

Closed thehyperevilcorp closed 6 years ago

thehyperevilcorp commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have docking / dockable layout support for tabs since it is quite common component for desktop app UIs.

I'm not sure how dockable layout should look and work. Do you mean something like pinned tabs from Chrome?

thehyperevilcorp commented 6 years ago

I meant something like this:

You can have tabs which can be dragged around, organised in groups etc. This functionality would make editor like application UI development easy and quick.

I'm sorry, but I have no plans for implementing this as it would mean introducing even more complexity to <x-doctabs> component and as far as I'm concerned I consider this type of layout to be an anti-pattern.
