Tabs ​

Every place opens in a tab: Jot, a page, Objects, Today, an app. There's always at least one tab, and a new tab starts on Jot.

Open in a new tab ​

  • ⌘-click (or middle-click) a page, an object, or a sidebar item.
  • In the palette, press ⌘↵ instead of ↵.
  • From a page's ⋯ menu, choose Open in new tab.

A plain click opens in the current tab.

Shortcuts ​

⌘1 … ⌘8Go to that tab
⌘9Go to the last tab

With a tab focused, ← and → move between tabs, Home and End go to the first and last, and ⌫ closes it.

Tabs are kept per workspace: closing Sorus and opening it again brings back the tabs you had, on the one you were in.

Pages to the side ​

The page list sits at the far left, beside every side.

Hold ⌥ and click a page in the list, or a link to one in a page, to open it to the right of what's open: a page, the calendar, or anything else. Hold ⌥⇧ to open it to the left instead. A page's ⋯ menu has Open to the right and Open to the left too.

Each side has tabs of its own, as in a code editor: opening another page there adds a tab. Drag a tab to move it: along its tabs, to another side's tabs, or back to the main tabs. Drag a page's tab to the left or right edge of what's open to start a side there. Write in them as in any page, with the page's details beside it. Drag a side's inner edge to make it wider, and click its × to close it. Each workspace keeps its sides' tabs.

Page details ​

The outline, links and info beside a page come and go with the details button at the top, or with › beside their tabs. When a page hasn't room for them beside its text, they step aside on their own.
