+ <title>Move tabs</title>
+
+ <p>
+ By default, documents are opened in new tabs inside the same
+ <app>gedit</app> window.
+ </p>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Move a tab</title>
+ <p>
+ There are several means to move a tab to another location, to organize the
+ files you edit in the way you like.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You can right-click on a tab title and choose the desired option.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Keyboard shortcuts are available too.
+ </p>

+ <section id="drag-and-drop-tabs">
+ <title>Drag and drop tabs</title>
+ <p>
+ Another means is to drag and drop a tab:
+ </p>
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>Click and hold the mouse button on the tab title.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Move the tab to the desired location.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Release the mouse button.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+ </section>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Drag and drop locations</title>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>To re-order tabs within the same window</title>
+ <p>
+ Drag and drop the tab along the tabs titles.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>To create a new window from an existing tab</title>
+ <p>
+ Drag and drop the tab out of the <app>gedit</app> window.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When <app>gedit</app> is maximized, drag the tab onto the top bar of
+ <gui>GNOME Shell</gui> at the top of the screen.
+ </p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>To move a tab from one gedit window to another</title>
+ <p>
+ Drag and drop the tab to the other window, either within the text area,
+ or within the tabs titles to choose the exact location.
+ </p>
+
+ <!--
+ This is currently not super convenient to use: once in the Activities
+ overview, we don't have much time for choosing the right window. We
+ often end up on a wrong window to drop the tab.
+ So it's not a great tip to explain.
+ -->
+ <!--
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>
+ You may find it easier to move a tab from one window to another by
+ dragging the tab to the <gui>Activities</gui> hot-corner of
+ <gui>GNOME Shell</gui>. This will reveal each of the open
+ <app>gedit</app> windows. You can then release the tab on the desired
+ <app>gedit</app> window.
