Zoom of <100% in Sidewise cuts off the panes' right parts (with scroll-bars and the on-hover-buttons)
This might especially be confusing when the user intended to zoom the page he's visiting but accidentally had sidewise focused.
I'm not sure if this is also caused by standard zoom settings.
This is interesting. On my Windows machine, increasing the zoom level of the sidebar scales everything up and still "fits" everything in the available horizontal space, as I think one would expect. Are you still seeing this problem after the new version (just released, 2012.11.23.0)?
I think being able to zoom the sidebar is a good feature in general to have -- as long as it works properly -- for those folks who find the sidebar font size too small.
The addon reorders my tabs all the time. Can you add a setting to disable this?
Restoring "Last Session"s and groups of hibernated tabs after resetting tree in diagnostics mode
In diagnostics mode i tried the "reset tree" button, what I only expected to redraw it with all of its content and not (as I now expected it did) with the actually open tabs and windows. That's how I lost my last sessions and a group of hibernated tabs (what was actually called "hibernated Tabs").
Is it all really deleted or just not displayed anymore?
Is there any way to bring it back?
Thank you very, very much!
I'm afraid "reset tree" permanently deletes and rebuilds the tree from scratch.
I apologize for not making this more clear. I'll add a confirmation box when you click "reset tree" in the near future to help avoid unintended consequences.
I'm also planning to add some sort of "recover last version of tree" button to the options page for cases where something goes wrong and the user wants to restore things to an earlier point in time.
Muscle memory from Tree Styled Tabs on Firefox
Another thing I really like from the FF add-on (although I'm determined to move to Chrome now) is being able to double click in the blank area below the vertical tab list to open a new tab. Any chance this could make it into the next version? Finding Chrome's New Tab button is a pain... Or maybe I'm missing an easier way (by mouse)?
Definitely planned, though it might not be the next version as I'm trying to freeze things for the next release which has been a while coming. Very probably would make it into the release after that if it doesn't appear in this next one.
---
OK, I just decided to knock this one out. This will appear in the next release which will be coming out sometime between now and the end of the month.
In addition to double-clicking on the empty space creating a new tab, you'll also be able to control (to a limited degree) which page is loaded into the new tab from the Sidewise options. Currently have implemented "New Tab page", "your homepage", "google.com", and "blank tab" options for this.
There is also a "Create new tab" button that appears at the right end of window rows in the page tree coming with the next release, which obeys this same setting.
The Notepad - Page specific notes
I think I'd like to somehow combine this idea with a "tree style" view of notes, maybe allowing you to either create a note 'page' for a specific site, or just in general.
For example you might make a 'Backpacks' note if you were researching backpacks across many different sites. And then allow you to nest those notes as you like into a tree of notes that you've created.
Won't be implemented real soon but I really like the concept!
Automatic tab hibernation
Problem with flashing window & Sidewise
Closed tabs are not being closed in Sidewise
Wondering if someone else has experienced this. If I close a tab from the tab bar (x) or by doing a ctrl+w, the tab is not closed in sidewise.
Closing tabs bug?
Totally love sidewise!
Are there some bugs when closing tabs? For example, sometimes when I close a tab, it disappears from the tab bar across the top, but it still appears in the sidewise window down the side.
Just me?

keyboard navigation
As many "hacker" types, I prefer the keyboard for window switching etc. I will tend to use Cmd-` to switch to Sidewise. From there it would be great if i could navigate using the keyboard. Suggested shortcuts:
| Select next/previous row | Down, Up |
| Search | / |
| Exit search | Escape |
| With selected row: | |
| Activate tab | Return |
| Toggle hibernate | H |
| Close tab | Delete |
PS I've tried lots of tab manager extensions, and sidewise is my favorite so far.
I'll look into adding this soon as I don't think it will take much code, especially with recent improvements to the Chrome Extension API in the area of keybindings.
Thanks for the table of keybinding suggestions. I think they would make a great default set and will probably configure the default keybindings as such.
