Window Layout and Navigation

Window Layouts

Triumph is composed of notebooks. A notebook is a tabbed widget that holds multiple windows, but shows only 1 window at a time. Triumph has 3 notebooks, a center notebook, a "tools" notebook below the center notebook, and an "outline" notebook to the left of the center notebook. Source code files go in the center notebook. Features like the explorer, console, find in files results are placed in the tools notebook, and features like outline go in the outline notebook.

Go to Edit ... Select Tab (CTRL+E). You will see a list of all of the opened windows. This includes source code tabs, plus any other windows like find in files results, outlines, console, or sql results. When you click OK (or hit ENTER) on the navigate dialog, the selected window will grab focus. This means that you can navigate through any opened windows by using just your keyboard if you so desire.

Moving notebook tabs

Tabs can be re-ordered between the same notebook. Just click on the window's tab and drag it to its new place. Currently, you cannot move tabs across multiple notebooks (except source code tabs, see below).

Multiple Source code noteboks

Triumph takes a simple approach to arranging multiple notebooks of source code tabs. The easiest way is to click the "column layout" buttons in the toolbar. With those buttons, you can easily create 1, 2 or 3 row (or column) layouts, meaning that source codes will be tiled. For example, the "2 column" layout allows you to see two files side-by-side. If you have the same number of opened files as desired layout, the code tabs will be distributed evenly amon the different notebooks. For example, if you have 2 opened files and you click the "2 column" layout button, then a new notebook will appear and it will have 1 of your opened files in it. The various layout button actions can also be accessed via a menu item under the View ... Notebook Layout menu.

Additionally, you can create new code notebooks by right-clicking on a source code tab and choosing "split horizontally" or "split vertically. When you do this, a new code notebook will be created and the current tab will be moved to the new notebook. You can also move notebooks with the same right-click context menu: The option "Move this tab to other notebook" will move the tab to the other notebook; if you have more than 2 code notebooks, there will be a menu for each code notebook; like "move to notebook 1", "move to notebook 2" and so on. To aid you in determining the proper notebook, each notebook has a title bar that has its name. The title bar on the code notebooks only shows when you have more than 2 code notebooks open.
