Have a single window option for Marked that allows multiple documents to be open but separated by tabs. Command ~ switching would be nice. Similar to the tabbed Markdown guide that is included in the help section.

    Again, it's a good idea and something I've considered. I'll put it back on the table.

    +100 to this. I find myself having at least half a dozen documents open at a time, and having to keep track of the window is a bit of a pain.

    So, please, please, please, please, please :) bump this one up the priority list a bit. :)

    Thanks,
    Mike

    As an addition to this request. Marked 2 has a wonderful edit marker feature. Extending this to the multi document tab feature would keep the editor and Marked in "sync". If a change occurs in a document that is in a tab but not "on top", it is brought to the "top" or "activated" and the edit marker moves the preview to the changed location. This would allow multiple docs being edited at once via tabs in (vim, text mate, etc) to be "synced" within Marked 2.

    A single window option with tabs would be great.

    Thanks,

    I considered this, but felt that the folder watching capabilities covered that base with a less complex UI. Obviously that doesn't work for files in multiple locations, and it's a suggestion I'll add to the list for further consideration.

    +1 on having multiple tabs. My text editing is always in multiple tabs, anywhere from 3 to a dozen in a set of tabs. It would be great if I could have a marked 2 window with a set of tabs that matches the tabs open in my text editor.

    If you're running Sierra, Marked is compatible with Sierra tabs. Select
    Window -> Merge all windows. It won't auto-open the affected tab after
    an update, but you'll have a tabbed view.

    I was completely unaware of that feature. Thanks!

    Brett, thanks for that suggestion. It works great. I also discovered that if you show the tabs bar, you can start grouping tabs together by dragging from the tab area of one document to the tab area of another document. I'm set. Thanks!

    The Merge All Windows option doesn't stick but you can go to  → System Preferences → Dock and setting Prefer tabs when opening documents to Always. It will apply to all apps of course, not just Marked.
