What about Kate? It's a Qt application, it's Linux, it should fill the bill if you are looking for a way to see how it's done. They used to have tabs, which is a good way to indicate multiple open windows - I hate the global approach a la Ubuntu global menu. If, on the other hand, you are just looking for a widely used menu format, look no further than Firefox. It allows you to open new instances in new tabs, or to have separate windows. What it does not have (Kate used to have it years ago) is an option to convert a tab into a separate window, useful if you change your mind at a later stage. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Feature-request-The-console-to-log-file-tp2113p14008.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Or you just drag the tab away from the line of tabs and you will get a new window and you can drag tabs from one FF window to another.

Click a tab and drag it outside the window and a new window with that tab will open. MfG Goswin
