Version: 2.0.3 (using 3.5.10-11.fc11 Fedora, Fedora release 10.92 (Rawhide)) Compiler: Target: i586-redhat-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 Kile allows the user to have multiple documents open as tabs. But the order of the tabs in the tab bar is fixed. If I want to re-arrange the tabs, I have to close and re-open them. I request: 1. Allow the user to right-click the tab's name (in the tab bar) and get a drop-down menu with a "move tab left" and "move tab right" option. 2. Allow the user to click and drag tabs with the mouse. 3. Allow keyboard shortcuts for "move tab left" and "move tab right".
Would like the same thing. Using KDE 4.4.3

Created attachment 49848 [details] Patch for movable tabs in Kile 2.1 beta 4
I noticed that having movable tabs could be easily done by setting the Movable property to true. Furthermore, Kile seems to behave badly when a lot of documents are open (more than 10, typically). For this reason, I also suggest the activation of the UsesScrollButton property. Please see the attached diff file, made from Kile 2.1 beta 4, rev 1159306. The changes were tested on Unix (Kubuntu 10.04.1) and Mac OSX (10.6.4).

Thanks for patch, but it's not as easy as it seems to implement this feature. :-) However, I'll see what I can do...

Can you please test it carefully? Thanks.
Sorry, my tiny patch indeed overlooked quite some elements. I tried the movable tabs in various methods, and could not find bugs at this point.
