[enhancement request] Add option of tab groups

[andr222]

Propose option of organising tabs in groups :

• my use would usually be only 1 window for web pages, another for tab manager.
• • suggest keeping the option of multiple windows, to view 2 different pages at the same time
• • tabs would be displayed by group in tab manager window.
• • • If also use multiple windows, suggest showing windows as primary association, with groups nested inside
• each page could be assigned to a user-specified group, with a "default" group if not assigned.
• each new page from a link defaults to the group of the source page
• if the new page is invoked from outside qupzilla, could use the "default" group, or prompt the user for the group
• moving tabs :
• • any tab can be moved to a different group. The move would immediately be shown in the tab manager display (if visible).
• • tabs can be moved within a group
• • drag-and-drop could be used to move a tab

Rational :
If more than a few tabs are open, often related tabs are separated by other tabs.
Groups, with options of moving tabs, are an easy way to better organise tabs with minimal effort.

I don't really understand what you mean at all, sorry.

@nowrep this feature comes from opera presto.

Interesting feature... never tried that in Opera. A little stronger distinction might be needed visually to delineate group visibility though.

Not really possible with main tab bar without using completely custom one that is not drawn by Qt style. In fact main tab bar is now feature-complete.

Tab grouping can be easily implemented into Vertical Tabs plugin, it would be similar to Tree view, but only top-level tabs could have children and sorting/grouping would be only manual.
