Apologies if there is a way to do this and I’m just unaware, but it would be very helpful to be able to click-hold-drag-release workspace tabs to re-order them like tabs in a web browser. I use tons of workspaces and not being able to organize them is a (admittedly small) thorn in my particular workflow.
I wouldn’t focus on the tabs so much, and more on the text. You can save the contents of a tab in the sample texts in the app settings, and invoke them again with Cmd-Opt-F.
For additional context, I usually have lots of workspaces active (see attached screenshot), for things like proofing paragraphs, numbers, ligatures, similar glyph forms, et cetera, and it’s be really nice to be able to order their tabs so they’re easier to intuitively move between.
Is there any way to pin a window up top in order to not close it by mistake? While I already have all the sample text saved, I find myself building specific specimen texts while working on the fonts and I often close these windows by mistake… an option to pin them would come in handy.
If you realize it right away that you closed a tab by accident, go to the View menu, hold down the Option key and the “Close Tab” will become “Reopen last closed Tab”.
