Feature idea: tab sidebar #228

Open nxwbxdy opened 1 year ago

nxwbxdy commented 1 year ago

what bothers me: I want to use the maximum amount of space on my browser screen to browse. I like the idea of having my tabs on the left side of the screen but you can just minimize them to a specific level. Also when it resizing on a mouse hover, it already resizes when I try to change it's width.

what I suggest: I suggest to add a hotkey to open it. It could also be a button that appears if you hover near it and disappears when you won't move for a short interval, so the content beneath the button is still accessible to the user.

Maybe the bottom button "+ New Tab" could use a tiny bit of styling like another color than the background to make the user notice that all of it is clickable and maybe a tiny margin with some rounded corners.

I understand this Project is still in the alpha and so far I love it. Keep up the good work.

I like this idea of adding a shortcut keybind for adding / opening a tab on the side. I will look into this and if it is possible to do in our case.
