Synchronize the layout of document panes across all opened documents [Suggestion]
Would it be possible to make the layout of the panes be synchronized in the same window (all tabs in one window)? (rather than ALL documents)
As of now it seems to be either all (all windows), or nothing, not even the same window tabs.

2) It would even be great to allow for specific synchronization of multiple separate subtabs (tab-groups) in one window, if you have two tab-groups in one window.

As of now if you have synchronization enabled and you open thumbnails when in one tab group in one window, it also opens for the 2nd tab group on the other side. Even though the active tab is not there. Is there a way to disable this?

Disable SPACE page navigation, fix kb shortcut for highlighting advanced search tool search field, bookmarks with numbers, toolbar small icon size, AltGr/Ctrl+Alt keyboard issues

Hello, MedBooster

I am afraid that any subdivision/segregation of this option is not possible without reworking how we split our windows. Currently everything is one "frame" in a single "instance" of the software. To offer what you are looking for, would require that we split the app into separate instances. Such changes could in turn disable a number of other useful functions, or require extensive reworks to allow the application to function in this new way. While it may be a project we undertake in the future, it is not something that we can promise at this time.

Kind regards,
