[question] is there a way to get the count and list of opened windows/tabs ??

Post by asamirid »

greetings..

i usually have like 20+ searches opened between windows and tabs, but this number goes up to 60+ search in some work situation and it be kind of messy.

sadly windows explorer collapse it's windows preview when there is too much windows opened like in the attached image below.

is there any way to get the list and count of current active searches??

a list i can select what search window or tab i want, and even better if i can search in the windows/tabs list..

Currently, no.

I have on my TODO list to add a window/tab organizer.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I would be happy if it had a function similar to the tab list UI (Ctrl+Shift+A) implemented in chrome/edge browsers.
It is possible to filter, select, close

When many tabs are opened, an extra "button" will be shown (see picture below).
Clicking it will show a list of currently opened tabs.

But he has multiple windows? I don't know why he mentions tabs, unless Windows 11 displays every single tab in every window too? I know Edge did that for me and it was tedious alt-tabbing, I doubt they've made 11 that tedious but I haven't used 11 nor seen this in action so I don't know.
Aren't there changes to be made to make it more like Windows 10/8.1/7? Like returning start menu in it previous position, forcing the old context menu and presumably more? If you can find a way to change the taskbar behaviour, other programs you also have a bunch of windows on will get the same change.

How many windows does it take for it to do this one-window hover? Even Windows 10 has a limit where it introduces scrolling, but it still displays maybe 30 windows before you have to scroll..Not that I have counted.
