![]() I love my vertical space, and the great thing about the KDE (and rumored native Win10) implementation is that it used the otherwise largely empty normal titlebar. In fact, when my wife moved back from Linux to Windows, the lack of Tab spreadsheets was a big complaint.My only observation about Groupy is that it appears to double the height of the title bar area, which may be a limitation of being 3rd party. Interestingly Paul's warning about accidentally grouping with Drag&Drop is addressed in KDE by using the middle mouse button by default for drag-group and drag-ungroup options.As Paul notes, it's obscenely good and obvious for spreadsheets. Great report – thanks Paul.I agree it should be built into the OS, and there was a recent-ish report (April 2017) that it was on its way to windows.I have been totally hooked on this feature for almost 10 years now since KDE4 on OpenSUSE linux. The app will be coming out next month for $10 but if you are using Object Desktop today, you can try out the beta right now. I’ve been using this app for about a week and it works incredibly well it functions like a browser tab but across the entire OS. I know that Microsoft has looked at bringing tabs to Windows 10 for some time but here we are, several years after release, with nothing to show for it. That being said, on my laptop, Groupy is quite helpful and even on the multi-monitor setup, simply having tabbed File Explorer makes life a little bit better. My desktop is a triple monitor setup and I will say that for those who have multi-monitor setups, Groupy may not be essential. This setting removes some of the frustration as you are One thing I do recommend if you give Groupy a try is turning on “hold shift” to create a group as it’s quite easy to accidentally create a group if you keep it as drag-and-drop. And as you would expect, there are keyboard shortcuts for power users with Win + ~ to cycle through the tabs in a selected window. When an app is grouped, it still respects alt+tab for easy app switching and if you move your mouse over a tab, a drop down appears showing a small preview of the app. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Frankly, once you start using the app you begin to wonder why Microsoft never built this into the OS. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing. The same can be said if you use the Adobe suite too. If you use Excel, adding tabs to the app with all your open spreadsheets makes it much easier to stay organized. But it goes beyond one single app as you can mix and match any application as I currently have Skype, Todoist and my calendar in one group. And when I say anything, I mean it if it’s in a window, it can be tabbed.įor example, if you have wanted tabs in File Explorer, this app makes that possible. The easiest way to describe this is that it brings tabs to everything in Windows 10. ![]() One example is an app like Rainmeter and being released today in beta is another and it’s called Groupy. Every so often you come across an app and think “this should be built into the OS”.
