How would I "pop-out" a tab from the tab group?

[joshuakoh1]

If I would like to run the tab in a different window while preserving the state how would I do it?

Hi @brrd, I wouldn't call it a duplicate.

The original question was whether there was an existing feature for it but I'm asking to be pointed in the direction on how to put together something since the feature doesn't exist at the moment.

Is there a way to transfer the state into a different window outside of this library or does it have to be "popped out" from within this library?

I think both questions should be answered in the same thread. When we will add this feature to electron-tabs (if this is possible) we will probably be interested in the workaround you found.

I don't think there is an easy way to do this currently. Obviously Electron allows you to move a webview to a different web content: electron/electron#1871
You will have to deal with all the rest: opening the new window, creating a new instance TabGroup, opening a new tab, moving the webview to it and deleting the initial tab.

@brrd Is it possible to add buttons before the X button for each tab? If the add tab API accepts a list of Buttons with {icon, function} then it would be able to implement a pop out functionality.

There would also need to be a way to pass the webview guest id from the original tab into the called function but this seems tricky because the guest id is only available after the tab is created.
