DocsTabs and layouts
Split view
Show two, three or four tabs side by side in one window.
Split view shows tabs next to each other in the same window: an article and your notes, say, or two documents to compare. A split view holds up to four tabs.
Open a split view
- Press Ctrl+F9: the current tab and a new one appear side by side, with the address bar ready for the new one.
- Drag a tab onto the left or right part of the page. When Drop to open side by side appears, let go.
- Right-click a link and choose Open link in split view.
- Right-click a tab and choose Split with “…”, then one of the tabs listed.
- Select two to four tabs with Ctrl+click, right-click one of them and choose Show selected tabs side by side.
- From a link preview, choose Open in split view.
To add a third or fourth tab, do the same while one of the tabs of the split view is the current one.
Work in a split view
Click in a pane to make it the current tab: the address bar and the keyboard shortcuts act on it. Drag the divider between two panes to give one of them more room. In the sidebar, a split view shows as one row with the titles of its tabs; click a title to go to that pane.
Close a split view
Press Ctrl+Alt+U, or right-click one of its tabs and choose Close split view. The tabs stay open, each on its own again. Closing one of the tabs leaves the others side by side.
