Hi!

User experience preference.
Chrome is the only place where I see tabs similar to Synapse's new design. For better or worse, I now expect tabs to all function like Chrome's tabs.

That includes missing interaction patterns such as:

  • Middle-mouse clicking a tab to close it.
  • Drag-and-drop to reorder tabs.
  • Having the clickable "X" present on each tab even if it isn't the active tab.
  • Ctrl+Tab to go to the tab on the right and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go left.


I don't have enough Razer products (wow, that's something I never thought I'd say) to fill up the tab bar to overflow, but I really enjoy side scrolling on tabs. I can also see how a tabbed interface may become tedious for folks with many many products. Especially if tabs can't be pinned or reordered.
Opinions expressed are solely my own and do not reflect the thoughts, intents, nor plans of Razer.

In Synapse or Chroma apps - I'd make the tabs a bit wider, so if you're on active tab, the X (close) button doesn't cover it's name:


If there's not enough space for tabs while many of them are opened - shrink them to the current size (as on screenshot). Or make an arrow on the right side to display list of all tabs like in Chrome:



+ interaction as @Lafar said (alt-tabbing, closing with middle button etc).

//EDIT: I've tried new Synapse at home with more devices plugged in, and there are arrows on the both side so you can scroll left/right to see all other non-visible tabs:

Hey @Lafar

  • Middle-mouse clicking a tab to close it.

    • One of my shortcut wishlists that I'm working towards to! Consider Ctrl + W too.

  • Drag-and-drop to reorder tabs.

    • I will put into consideration

  • Having the clickable "X" present on each tab even if it isn't the active tab.

    • Already in the works ;), waiting to be implemented! Your feedback would help to push up the priority!

  • Ctrl+Tab to go to the tab on the right and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go left.

    • One of my shortcut wishlists that I'm working towards to!
