FR: Open tab control

hpl123

Hi support,
This is a feature request to add open tab control i.e. options to work with restricting a tab opening a second time, controlling what would happen if the tab was opened a second time (refocus or report error) etc.. Thanks

Here is a couple of post talking about the need for this (and there has also been other posts where this / similar things has been discussed ):

1: and the most important thing I think is to counteract context problems which occur something when having multiple tabs (same tab) opened:

+1 for this from me too.

Also, when running a search that would end up displaying results in a tab I would like:

The tab with query results to show if there are multiple results

The tab with the object form displayed if there is only one result.

I'm sure I could achive this with a process but would be nice as a built in feature of AwareIM

Thanks

I forgot to make a comment. If this feature is implemented, it should be an optional feature and not a replacement of the current feature. The current style is still very valid for many cases. An "either/or" option in the configurator for developer to select which he prefers.
