In depth

A closer look at TabDrop

TabDrop can open up to ten files, with tabs for each that let you quickly switch views between files. You can drag and drop highlighted text to any window that can receive text, including other tiled TabDrop windows and other spots in the same TabDrop view window. TabDrop lets you highlight and drop part of a line of text, or select one or more complete lines at once by clicking and dragging down the left side of the text area.

Other features include a recent file list, a favorite file list, and a "Stealth" mode that hides TabDrop's window while you drag and drop. You can open any size file, quickly tab between open files, make TabDrop's window maximize on startup and/or "always on top," tile view windows, and use a shortcut on the Windows Explorer context menu to open files quickly. Commands are included to find and replace text, undo editing, select fonts, print, and more.
