But it's very important to be able to move tabs across windows or panes. ... In many apps, however, you would have to select the foo.c tab, close it, bring up a new window, and open foo.c using the long path (presumably with a file browser interface, but often enough the default directory is wherever you started the editor, not most recently used file). The common GUI technique is to drag a tab from one window into another window. Drag onto the desktop for a new top level window. This is supported by, among others, Firefox; Chrome; gedit; and GNOME Terminal. Time used to be we would innovate, not imitate, but I suppose that convergence has changed things.
