Select Multiple Tabs and Drag Them Into Groups
TabHive's Window panel shows all your open browser tabs. Learn how to multi-select them and drag them straight into a group in one move.
Dinesh SYou've been deep in a research session with a dozen tabs open across the browser, and now you want to save the useful ones into a TabHive group before you lose them. The last thing you want to do is drag them in one at a time.
TabHive's Window panel makes this fast. Here's how to select multiple open tabs and drop them into a group in a single gesture.
The Window Panel
The Window panel sits inside TabHive and shows all of your currently open browser tabs in real time. You'll see each tab represented by its favicon in a horizontal row, with the total tab count shown as a badge. This is your starting point for organizing tabs into groups.
Step 1: Select the Tabs You Want
Click any tab in the Window panel to select it. It highlights with a subtle background change as confirmation that it's been picked. Click more tabs to build up your selection. There's no limit to how many you can select at once.
Changed your mind about one? Click it again to deselect it. Want to clear everything and start over? Press Escape or click anywhere outside the Window panel.
Step 2: Drag Into a Group
Once you have your selection, grab any one of the selected tabs and start dragging. TabHive treats the whole selection as a single drag, so every selected tab moves together. As you drag, the tabs turn semi-transparent so you can see what's in flight.
Drag over to your target group and release. The tabs land at the end of the group. If you want them inserted at a specific spot, drag over a particular tab within the group and a position indicator will appear showing exactly where they'll drop.
A brief pulse animation on the group confirms the drop landed.
Tips
Save all open tabs at once
If you want to save every tab in the window without picking them individually, hit ⌘+Shift+1 (or Ctrl+Shift+1 on Windows) to instantly create a new group from all open tabs. The "Create group" button at the top of the Window panel does the same thing.
Close tabs after saving
Click the folder icon in the top-right of the Window panel to open the Create Group dialog. From there you can pick which tabs to include and check the option to close all selected tabs after saving. Useful when you want to clear the browser window once everything is safely stored in a group.
Why This Matters
The friction of saving open tabs one at a time is the main reason people don't bother. Multi-select removes that friction entirely. Select what you want, drop it where it belongs, and move on. Your browser stays clean and your groups stay meaningful.
