Can I have multiple windows docked to one tab?

I play two muds. On my main mud I use four windows. One main window, one "important chat" window and one "less important chat window". These three are horizontally tabbed. The right hand half is taken up by a docked map window.

My second mud uses the exact same layout.

Now what I want is to have each mud on a separate tab, and when I switch it switches all four windows at once. Possible?

switching tabs,

Each tab is a different character, If you have it set up as the same character but different muds it is still different.

Just set up each tab with the same window names size them and place them in the same place, lock them.

Then when you swtich from one tab to the next it will seem like your in the same one but on different muds.

Yeah, but that means individually switching 4 windows each time I switch muds. I want to be able to switch all windows at once.

I think an easier way than even clicking one tab would be to create a alias/macro that cycles through the copies and gives them focus.

All of the windows must have a unique name. You can use #NAME to change the names of windows.

#GVAR SessionID {true} {true}
#GALIAS SwitchWindows {#IF (@SessionID){ImportantChatWindowName:;LessName:;MainWindowName:;SessionID = false}{SecondImportantChatWindowName:;SecondLessName:;SecondMainName:;SessionID = true}}

#KEY F1 {SwitchWindows} <- Create in both session windows.

The mapper should update automatically with the session window.

I don't think there is such a thing as a global macro or this could be simplified but, Lightbulb or someone else will probably come up with a more elegant solution.

If you really want to click something, you could create a button that calls the alias instead of using a macro.
