Group tabs seem very useful, but cumbersome to actually use. The idea is to add a simple "+" button, visible in the upper left hand corner. You can click it to open a new tab, just as in any standard web browser. Opening it gives you the option to open an application, recently used files, or bookmarked websites, very similar to opening a new tab in Chrome or Rekonq, but with local files and programs as well.

Alternatively, if you have a window that is already open that you would like to add to the group, simply drag that window onto the other window's "+" button, and it will add any group tabs of that window to the next.


KDE Group Tabs by nvalinski1, on Flickr

If done effectively, I think that tabs within programs could be eliminated from KDE entirely, relying entirely on the group tabs so that we don't have to deal with application tabs inside of group tabs. Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
