A question about tabs

Completed

I may be misunderstanding how tabs work in nvUltra but clicking the + in the tab bar doesn't seem to do anything. I've searched the docs and couldn't find any information.

### Actions

1. I have one folder showing in the Tab bar.
2. I add a second folder by using _File > Open Folder_ and it appears in the Tab bar as expected.
3. I click the + on the right of the tab bar with the expectation of opening a third folder, but nothing happens.
4. The _show next tab_ works from the menu. (Note that the shortcuts for _show next tab_ and _show previous tab_ are missing from the list of shortcuts.)

### Expectations

Clicking the + in a browser creates a new, blank window. I assumed that clicking the + sign in nvUltra would create a new, blank folder but this doesn't seem to be the case.

### Question

What is the + sign supposed to do? What am I missing?

 

Thanks.

  Creating a new folder in the same was a new untitled document doesn't make sense if you think about it -- where would the folder go?  There is no such thing as an unsaved folder on the disk.

   

  But you're right that the button either needs to go away, or do something different (such as open the New Folder dialog).

   

  Thanks!

  Actually, I was expecting the button to open the New Folder dialog, I just didn't express myself clearly. I think that would be a very appropriate and intuitive use of the button.

  For what it's worth I've been using nvUltra for much of the day creating a series of short Tech Notes for use in my workshops. It has been a very smooth process and the workflow is almost effortless (except for having to think them up). I've used Ulysses, Bear, Keep, and a couple of others in the past and none of them compare with nvUltra, even in its beta phase. There are a few additional features that I would like to see, but in my opinion, you have a winner.

  Added functionality such that clicking that tab creates a new folder using the dialog box, and then adds it as a new tab.
