Move Open Project Tabs Around

Hey all. Small question on how to navigate around Fusion. Fusion works similarly as Chrome does with tabs. Each project or part you work on in Fusion has its own tab, it does not open an entire new window. I love it, makes it very easy to switch between parts. However one thing I think would make navigation easier is if I could organize my tabs by moving them around. Chrome I can just click and drag a tab to a new position. Fusion it does nothing. Sometimes I have 5 or even 6 tabs open on parts I am working on. Sometimes I have 2 parts that are nearly identical and I want to program the 2 very similarly so the operator knows what to expect. These are custom parts btw. With this, being able to drag the 2 tabs so they are side by side would make is easier for me to quick switch between the 2.  I tried searching and cant find anything regarding this. I may be using the wording wording though.

This would be really cool. If you don't see it on the idea station, please go post it and post the link back in this thread!

Are you saying this is not currently an option? Or maybe there is an option to do it, and you just don't know either? If you are sure this isn't an option, I will post this over on the idea page. But if you aren't sure, maybe Ill wait a little longer and see if someone posts the answer. I just know there are hidden key presses to be able to do things. I have tried hold Alt and Ctrl with no luck, but maybe I need to hole M or T or some other button? I guess I am hoping its something already implemented instead of something I need to post as an idea lol I am actually surprised I am not the first one to notice this or ask about this. I know I can close my tabs and open them back up in the order I want them. However that's a pain to have to close them and re open just to change the order around. Sometimes I may think I am done with a part and close it, but then need to open it and now its on the far side. So then I need to close the first part in the list to re open it to get it to the end of the list back to being next to the part I just opened. Just a small little idea that would just make things ever so slightly easier. Kind of like holding Alt to select an open contour instead of modifying a closed contour(which I consider a royal PITA).

I'm saying it's not possible. It is a good idea for the idea station, and one that's good enough that i would also vote for it.

I finally was able to post this over to the idea station. Sorry for the delay, work was busy, then the holidays, and now just catching back up with everything.

Just wanted to bump this thread. This idea has been posted on the ideas board a few times over the last few years, yet somehow is still not implemented into Fusion.

 

For a modern bit of software, this seems like it should be a very easy thing to implement, and would be a massive quality of life improvement. I would go further and suggest that tab groups should be added. I've often got multiple projects on the go, each with multiple things open. It gets extremely messy very quickly.

 

The fact we are still currently limited to one window massively exacerbates this issue. It would be fantastic if we could have multiple windows open across multiple displays. Again, for a modern bit of software, I feel this should really be a thing already.
