Tabs

Each panel can hold several folders at once as tabs, so you can keep the places you use often just a click apart instead of navigating back and forth. Tabs belong to a single panel: the left and right panels each keep their own row of tabs, and switching or closing a tab only affects the active panel. A small tab bar appears above the file list, showing one chip per open tab plus a trailing "+" button.

Working with tabs

1. Click a panel to make it active. New tabs always open in the active panel.
2. Choose View > New Tab, or press Cmd+T, to open a new tab on the current folder. You can also click the "+" button at the end of the tab bar.
3. Click any tab chip to switch to it, or press Cmd+} for the next tab and Cmd+{ for the previous one.
4. To close the current tab, choose View > Close Tab or press Cmd+W. You can also middle-click a tab chip to close it. Choose View > Close All Tabs to clear all but the current one.

Open a folder in a new tab

1. Move the cursor to a folder in the file list.
2. Choose View > Open Folder in New Tab (Cmd+Shift+T) to open that folder in a new tab in the same panel.
3. To open a tab without leaving the current one, choose View > New Tab in Background.

Lock a tab

Locking a tab keeps it pinned to its folder. Select the tab, then choose View > Lock Tab. A small lock icon appears on the tab chip. When a tab is locked, navigating into another folder opens that folder in a new tab instead of changing the locked one, so your pinned location stays put. Choose the menu item again to unlock it.

Tips

• Right-click a tab chip for quick actions such as duplicating or closing that tab.
• Tabs are per panel. Use them to keep a working folder and a destination folder side by side, then switch between them without losing your place.
• Locking is handy for a folder you return to often: you can browse away from it and still find it, unchanged, on its tab.
