[issue9262] IDLE: Revise or replace tabbedpages for multi-editor window.

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Vedran, reread "continue ... with multiple windows".  What you describe as 'I have never seen' seems standard for tabbed windows applications.  I just verified that FireFox and Edge allow "separate windows that can be independently opened, closed, moved and resized."  (To repeat, I will NOT copy Notepad++ in restricting to one windows, which I regard as exceptional.)

Firefox also has both features Tal requested in msg110906 "And if you can have several windows, each with several tabs, drag-n-drop moving of tabs between windows is really nice to have, not to mention drag-n-drop reordering of tabs."  (Edge does not allow dropping on an existing window).  I would like both for IDLE if tk drag-and-drop allows.
