Based on KDE SC 4.4 Beta1 I'd like to do a little tabbing usability testing.
Comparing Konqueror, Dolphin and Konsole i found 3 (three) different handling methods for tabs.
Konqueror:
In Konqueror i sometimes want to rearrange tabs , but thats not that easy as u might think. When clicking on a tab and dragging it arround the cursor changes to a websitesymbol with a plus. but the tab is not moving. so i end up adding another tab near the place i want the new tab and use this "copy url" method. So this method is not perfect for rearranging tabs. But while playing around i found out that when dragging to the plasma desktop u can simply add a plasmabrowser with this! :-)
Dolphin:
Now this is what i call natural tab-handling. :-) Click on the tab you want to move and drag it around. The tab moves with the mouse fixed to horizontal position. Release mouse and tabs are rearanged. It'll be cool to be able to drag a tab to the desktop to create a plasmawidget of that directory.
Konsole:
Clicking on a tab in Konsole and dragging it around makes a copy of the tab follow the mouse, but with the mouse showing the "dissalloed"-sign. When reaching a possible new place an indicator - green arrow - is appearing near the new tab position. There is no other place the tab can be dropped.
