Re: [PATCH] New tab-bar-detach-tab command

[Matt Beshara]

Hi Adam (and others),
I missed this functionality from web browsers as well, but the 
implementation you posted doesn’t work on my setup.  The new tab 
it creates in a new frame only contains one of the multiple 
windows I had open in the original tab, and it gives me the 
message “tab-close: Attempt to delete the sole tab in a frame”. 
Below I’ve pasted another implementation I’ve been using for a 
little while which I get better results with.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun tab-bar-move-tab-to-new-frame ()
 (interactive)
 (let* ((from-frame (selected-frame))
        (from-tabs (funcall tab-bar-tabs-function from-frame))
        (from-index (1+ (tab-bar--current-tab-index from-tabs)))
        (new-frame (make-frame)))
   (tab-bar-move-tab-to-frame nil from-frame from-index new-frame 
   1)
   (select-frame new-frame)
   (tab-bar-close-tab)))
#+END_SRC

I hope you find this useful,
Matt
