As I said, that is Windows, but what about both Linux or Mac?  The idea 
of tabbed documents IN LibreOffice would be a cross-platform idea and 
not depend on knowing a shortcut for a particular platform.

It would be nice to have this tabbed option like in Firefox.  It would 
be easier to use than having multiple LO tasks in the task bar [bottom, 
side, or top of the screen] when you already have 4 or 5 other packages 
open at the same time.  The idea is a good one to look into.  Other 
non-office packages are either doing it by default, or by extension.  LO 
user might benefit from such an idea, since they may already using the 
idea in those other packages.  I sure use tabs in my Firefox and 
Thunderbird use.  It would help me when I use LibreOffice, sometimes.
