Will Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab work productively like they did in MDI days (cycle thru most recently used tab rather than the arbitrary, but "aesthetically pleasing", left-tab and right-tab?)
Can the tab's currently edited document be associated with the tab beyond simple "title" metadata? For example, can I get an icon on the tab representing the tab's in-progress document that I can drag to drop sites like Slack or an email being composed?
What statuses can be visualized on the tabs out of the box? (Percentage complete? Ancillary status icons?)
How's accessibility going to work with tabs? What happens to the client area when you switch tabs? What gets read on the tabs when you cycle through them?
I suspect these Sets are not going to make MDI great again because they will be underspecified as a UX standard or will be denuded of any productivity features (mobile first), and thus will be abused by developers who resort to hacking to get the results they want.
- badsectoracula 9y agoCtrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab already work on Edge (as does Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown) so i'd expect this to work in a similar way. Not sure how it will handle applications that need those keys for themselves though... but probably if an application lets the event reach DefWindowProc, it'll be assumed it doesn't use the shortcut for itself (for Win32 programs at least).
- amatwl 9y agoApparently, the Tab control is is lifted directly from Edge. https://twitter.com/h0x0d/status/931595009177960449 https://twitter.com/h0x0d/status/931595009177960449)
