pinned tabs

[mathewmitchell]

I think I don't understand how pinned tabs in Nota work. Within Safari I can not close a pinned tab unless I first unpin it. That doesn't seem to be the case with Nota. Yes, if I click on a link then I go to that destination as a new tab ... which is great. But I was hoping that pinned tabs would also stay in place unless I manually unpinned them. Either I'm not doing something corrrectly or pinning means something different for Nota. I would love to have pinned tabs like in Safari (if possible).

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the confusion.

Here's what makes pinned tabs different from regular tabs in Nota:

• Opening a link from a pinned tab opens it in a new tab, as you've noticed.
• Pinned tabs are visually distinct, which is useful if you want to distinguish the notes you plan to focus on today from the notes you're just using as a reference.
• Pinned tabs are positioned on the left side of the tab bar, making them easier to find and easier to select with the keyboard.
• You can "Close Unpinned Tabs" from the Command Palette (sh-cmd-p) to close all unpinned tabs at once.

I can see the value of making pinned tabs a bit harder to close, and we'll probably explore the idea for a future release.

Thanks again, and I hope this explains it.

@erusev Thanks for the explanation! All makes complete sense and they are nice additions. I'm just so used to using "pinned tabs" in a browser like Safari that I just auto-assumed it would be much harder to close them by mistake. Not a big issue: these pinned features are very worthwhile to me.
