# Organize files in grouped tabs

If you are working with multiple tabs in gedit you can group them, making it easier to keep your opened files organized. Adding a new tab group will divide the gedit 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.

# Open a new tab group in the gedit window

To open a new tab group you can:

Right click on a tab and select Move to New Tab Group.

Use the Ctrl Alt N shortcut.

This action will divide the gedit 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 gedit window between panes according to your needs.

You can open as much tab groups in a gedit window as your screen allows, but you will have to move the handle in order to see them correctly.

To close a tab group pane just close all the tabs that are opened inside it.

# Move a tab to another tab group

If you want to move a tab from one tab group to another:

Click and hold the mouse button on the tab.

Drag the tab to another tab group pane.

Place it beside other tabs in the tab group.

Release the mouse button.
