Tab dragging doesn't really do anything except reorder tabs. It would be nice to, at a minimum be able to drag out a tab to make a new window. For even better functionality you could have something like tilix where tabs themselves can be tiled, instead of having completely separate split-pane functionality, which is unintuitive and inconvenient IMO.

I'm not sure whether the dragging behavior would be consistent with how tabs work in other apps, but it would certainly be nice to have some way of detaching tabs--I would be happy with even a button, shortcut, or menu entry.
Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last two years and no contributor stepped up to implement it. The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs. Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users. If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it. If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind, if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it, it will expire in a year again. We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it. e.g. see the information at https://kate-editor.org/join-us/ for details Greetings Christoph Cullmann
