A data processing system implements displaying a tabbed user interface comprising a plurality of tabs for navigating among a plurality of electronic documents; determining a first tab of the plurality of tabs is associated with a first tab group according to a first grouping criterion; and causing a first tab group control element to be displayed proximate to the first tab, the first tab group control element providing a set of tools for accessing content associated with the first tab group and for creating new tabs associated with the first tab group.

Tabbed user interface

Methods and systems are provided for managing a GUI of a web browser. When a user interaction with a tab presentation control is detected, a horizontal tab strip having first navigation tab controls for a set of webpages is removed, and a vertical tab strip having second navigation tab controls for the same set of webpages is displayed in a vertical column in the browser. In response to detecting a user hover interaction with the vertical tab strip while the vertical tab strip is in a collapsed state, the vertical tab strip is expanded from the collapsed state to an expanded state. In response to termination of the user hover interaction, the vertical tab strip is collapsed from the expanded state to the collapsed state. The vertical tab strip in the collapsed state occupies a smaller portion of the GUI then the vertical tab strip in the expanded state.

Navigation tab control organization and management for web browsers

A method of operating a device, which includes providing a user interface with a display artifact; in response to an indication a user selected to copy the display artifact, storing multiple levels of detail of the display artifact; allowing the user to paste a selected level of detail by steps of: in response to an indication a user selected an input field and a paste command, displaying a plurality of paste options for pasting the display artifact into the input field, wherein the plurality of paste options each have a unique level of detail for representing the display artifact; allowing the user to select from the plurality of paste options; and in response to an indication a user selected a paste option from the plurality of paste options, pasting the display artifact with a level of detail associated with the selected paste option into the input filed.
