  • Rename tab / save group now takes escape = cancel and enter = save to make using with keyboard easier

This beta does not fix problems I've been having since 1.44 with new windows not automatically grouping.

The only program I have set to do this is Notepad2. When I open a second instance, it opens on top of the first, and the title bar of the first instance goes blank, but the windows do not group. Grouping them manually works fine.

And if you have this option enabled, does it then?

Yes, automatic grouping works fine if I check that box. Good to know I can use that as a work-around for now, but I prefer to only see tabs if there are multiple windows.

v1.45 Beta did not fixed my problem however, "Always show tabs for this type of window" did the trick.
