COMMON ISSUES / FAQ

When i click on the tabgroup header there is no option. Can you add that?

Sadly the tabs api does not yet allow to add context entrys to the tabGroup header, but if that becomes available, i'll look into it.

How can i prevent the focus switch when when i select another tab group?

That is as far as i know not possible. If the active tab would keep its focus that would make it a part of the selection, which would prevent the user from execute actions on group.
