josh_bodner Some feedback on the new vertical tab experience..
- I honestly don't like the location of the toggle. It's right next to my pinned tabs and I find myself hitting it too frequently on accident, which is jarring.
- default behavior is autohide, which is great for maximizing screen behavior but it makes basic tab management painfull. Having to open the panel, find the tab I'm on (thankfully highlighted), hover over it to get it to pop out and then click x to close is just too many steps. I should be able to close the tab much faster from the top bar that remains somehow.
- Same as number 2 can be said for other tab things like muting sound, etc. Just too cumbersome IMHO in the current design.
I will keep playing around with it and share anything else that pops up.
Michael Jones that's why I usually keep the vertical tab pane expanded! If you haven't already, make sure you submit this via feedback as well, that way we can get an accurate count of all the people who feel the same way. Also, don't forget that there are keyboard shortcuts for closing a tab (ctrl+W) and muting a tab (ctrl+M), right-click menu options for both, and my personal favorite: middle clicking a tab anywhere closes it (if you've got a device with a modern trackpad, you likely can also set a gesture for middle click; mine is the three-finger tap).
