Tabbed Messaging

Tabbed messaging allows the flexible combination of multiple chats into any combination of windows to maximize efficiency and screen real estate.

A single window might contain 10 different tabbed chats, or one window might hold 4 while another holds 2 and a third holds a single chat.

Switching Tabs with the keyboard
Switch tabs with Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right. Customizable in Preferences -> General

Closing Tabs
Adium's tabs have a close button hidden behind the status icon. Only the front tab may be closed. To close all tabs but one, hold down option and click the close button on the tab you'd like to keep.

Separating Tabs
Adium's tabs can always be freely dragged, allowing you to: Reorder tabs within a window Drag tabs out of their windows to become their own, independent windows Drag tabs from one window to another, combining the two into a single window
