# How to Use Tabs in ComfortFiles

ComfortFiles is a Windows Explorer-style file manager for macOS.

Press <kbd>⌘T</kbd> to open a new tab. Tabs in ComfortFiles are real macOS window tabs — they group in the title bar, and you can drag files between them.

## The basics

- **New tab:** <kbd>⌘T</kbd>.
- **Switch tabs:** click, or the standard macOS shortcuts <kbd>⌃Tab</kbd> / <kbd>⌃⇧Tab</kbd>.
- **Close a tab:** <kbd>⌘W</kbd>.

## Moving files between tabs

Drag a file onto another tab's title: the tab highlights, and dropping moves the file into the folder that tab is showing. The same works downward — drag files onto any folder in the sidebar tree.

This covers the "two Explorer windows side by side" workflow in a single window: one tab per folder, drag between them.
