  <title>Organize files in grouped tabs</title>

  <p>If you are working with multiple tabs in <app>gedit</app> you can group
  them, making it easier to keep your opened files organized. Adding a new tab
  group will divide the <app>gedit</app> window in two panes, open a new
  “Untitled File” in the new pane, and make it active. You can open files into
  that tab group and move tabs from one tab group to another.</p>

<section id="open-new-tab-group">
  <title>Open a new tab group in the gedit window</title>

  <p>To open a new tab group you can:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Right click on a tab and select <gui>Move to New Tab Group</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Use the <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Alt</key><key>N</key></keyseq>
      shortcut.</p>
    </item>
  </list>

  <p>This action will divide the <app>gedit</app> window in two panes, and the
  pane with the new tab group will be placed on the right of the active tab.
  You can move the handle right or left assigning more or less space of the
  <app>gedit</app> window between panes according to your needs.</p>

  <p>You can open as much tab groups in a <app>gedit</app> window as your screen
  allows, but you will have to move the handle in order to see them
  correctly.</p>

  <p>To close a tab group pane just close all the tabs that are opened inside
  it.</p>
