* Opened tab list should respond to configurable mouse button clicks. Eg. middle click on the entries close the tab while still allowing you to continue thereafter(does not close the list just yet). Such a menu is particularly useful when having loads of tabs opened simultaneously as it takes up reasonable amounts of screen space yet allows you to browse many tabs at once.

Another brilliant implementation of the above principle is in opera as depicted in the picture below. The setup allows for a more permanent solution which even includes a search box so as to only focus on the specific tabs only in the viewscreen.

The above would hopefully prevent us from being lost in a 'sea of tabs' not knowing where each tab is and not being able to focus on the tabs you want as so commonly experienced by users of MDI applications.
* If there are a lot of tabs, a second row of tabs may be useful.
* When there are a lot of tabs, the title of each tab is suppressed. The width of the active and nearby tabs could be larger. Thus, these tab titles are visible.--[[User:Constantine|Constantine]] 20:38, 22 June 2006 (PDT)
