  <title>Tab groups</title>

  <p>
    You can view several documents side-by-side inside the same <app>gedit</app>
    window by creating a new <em>tab group</em>.
  </p>

  <section>
    <title>Managing tab groups</title>
    <p>
      There are several possibilities for managing tab groups.
    </p>
    <p>
      To create a new tab group, you can right-click on a tab title and select
      <gui>Move to New Tab Group</gui>.
    </p>
    <p>
      Keyboard shortcuts are available too.
    </p>
    <p>
      The tab groups will be placed into two panes that can be resized. It is an
      horizontal split: the original tab group is on the left, the new tab group
      is added on the right.
    </p>
    <p>
      You can open as much tab groups in a <app>gedit</app> window as your
      screen allows, but you will have to resize them in order to see them
      correctly.
