Moving tabs around

[Chris Angelico]

Greetings!

I use SciTE on both Windows XP and Debian Linux, and for the most
part, the two are compatible; everything that I want to achieve, I can
do in either. There's just one small difference that occasionally gets
in the way, and that's dragging tabs around to re-order them.

On Windows, tabs can be reordered by simply dragging them around. On
Linux, this does not appear to be possible. Is there a config setting
that will enable this, or is the feature simply not available?

You can do it with keyboard shortcuts.

I have the following in both my Windows and Linux

SciTE "User Options File":

# Added ability to reorder tab buffers!

user.shortcuts=\

Ctrl+Shift+PageUp|IDM_MOVETABLEFT|\

Ctrl+Shift+PageDown|IDM_MOVETABRIGHT|\

Now, I move tabs around on both environments

exclusively with my keyboard.  I use this

all the time!

Thank you! Works perfectly. Point to note: This is read only on
startup, unlike most such properties; you need to restart SciTE after
making such a change.

This is not working for me on Windows XP...

Can't drag tabs nor move them using the above user.shortcuts.

Is there some other setting that needs enabling?
