  <title>Move and re-order tabs</title>
  <p>Tabs in <app>gedit</app> can be moved, making it easier to work with your 
  files. Tabs can be can re-ordered within the same window, moved outside of 
  <app>gedit</app> (creating a new <app>gedit</app> window), and moved from one 
  window to another.</p>

      <p>You may find it easier to move a tab from one window to another by
      dragging the tab to the <gui>Activities</gui> hot-corner of
      <gui>GNOME Shell</gui>. This will reveal each of the open
      <app>gedit</app> windows. You can then release the tab on the
      desired <app>gedit</app> window.</p>
