Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.
Steps
- 1
Open Settings → Window Modes and find the TabStack drop-zone settings.
- 2
Adjust Split drop zone size from 0–40% and use the live preview to see the edge zones. Set it to 0% to disable Split.
- 3
Use Enable Swap drop zone to turn the regular Swap target on or off independently. Holding Option while dragging still lets you swap.
- 4
Drag a tab to try the new zones. Drop on another pane’s tab bar to join that pane instead.
