+ <title>Organize files in grouped tabs</title>
+
+ <p>If you are working with multiple tabs in <app>gedit</app> you can group
+ them, making it easier to keep your opened files organized. Adding a new tab
+ group will divide the <app>gedit</app> window in two panes, open a new
+ “Untitled Document” in the new pane, and make it active. You can open files
+ into that tab group and move tabs from one tab group to another.</p>
+
+<section id="open-new-tab-group">
+ <title>Open a new tab group in the gedit window</title>
+
+ <p>To open a new tab group you can:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>Right click on a tab and select <gui>Move to New Tab Group</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Use the <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Alt</key><key>N</key></keyseq>
+ shortcut.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>This action will divide the <app>gedit</app> window in two panes, and the
+ pane with the new tab group will be placed on the right of the active tab.
+ You can move the handle right or left assigning more or less space of the
+ <app>gedit</app> window between panes according to your needs.</p>
+
+ <p>You can open as much tab groups in a <app>gedit</app> window as your screen
+ allows, but you will have to move the handle in order to see them
+ correctly.</p>
+
+ <p>To close a tab group pane just close all the tabs that are opened inside
+ it.</p>

+FIXME: These shortcuts don't work.
