# Organize files in grouped tabs

If you are working with multiple tabs in gedit you can group them, making it easier to keep your opened files organized. Adding a new tab group will divide the gedit window in two panes, open a new "Untitled Document" in the new pane, and make it active. You can open files into that tab group and move tabs from one tab group to another.

# Open a new tab group in the gedit window

To open a new tab group you can:

Go to DocumentsNew Tab Group in the main menu.

Use the CtrlAltN shortcut.

This action will divide the gedit window in two panes, and the pane with the new tab group will be placed on the right of the active tab. You can move the handle right or left assigning more or less space of gedit window between panes according to your needs.

You can open as much tab groups in gedit window as your screen allows, but you will have to move the handle in order to see them correctly.

To close a tab group pane just close all the tabs that are opened inside it.

# Move through tab groups

To move forward (on the next) tab group:

Go to DocumentsNext Tab Group in the main menu.

Use the ShiftCtrlAltPage down shortcut.

To move backward (on the previous) tab group:

Go to DocumentsPrevious Tab Group in the main menu.

Use the ShiftCtrlAltPage up shortcut.

# Move a tab to another tab group

If you want to move a tab from one tab group to another:

在标签上点击并按住鼠标按钮

Drag the tab to another tab group pane.

Place it beside other tabs in the tab group.

松开鼠标按钮。

See the tab-related shortcut keys table to make it easier to manage your tab groups.
