Version: 3.2.2 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic With Tab Bar extension at the moment, tab/files are appended to the end. I would like to be able to drag and drop Tabs to reorder them, similat to thay apps can be moved around on the Gnome taskbar.
I'd love to see that too!!
I am going to detail a use case: With today's widescreen monitors, a very good way to use Kate as a coding tool is to hide the navigation sidebar, substitute by the tab extension, and divide the view vertically. That way you can work efficiently on two document views/files at the same time. Now, with the tabbar being the only way you access and order your open documents, it would be a big improvement if the tabs could be rearranged in the same way as in a web browser. Hope that made it clear.

Can someone please fix this bug please; its now over 18 months!! TabBar->setMovable(true) http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qtabbar.html#movable-prop
It's not a QTabBar, so it needs to be implemented separately. A patch is welcome! Btw: Tabs in the Tabify plugin are movable (since KDE SC 4.6.2 iirc).
Created attachment 59047 [details] Add sort order "Custom" Patch from Alex Dănilă from 2008. Needs overhaul and testing.
Did this custom sort order patch made it to the public version? I don't see this option in Kate 3.12.3. Thanks!
Would be nice to know.. ;-) Its almost five years so far, and I expect a clever editor to come out by this time this bug will finally be abandoned maybe ;-)
I can check whether this patch still applies: But the patch doesn't save/load the custom sort order. So you have to do this every time you open Kate.
This is still an issue in the KDE 5 version. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 344074 ***
