Figure 3.8: Tab menu from the Layers dialog
The Tab menu gives you access to the following commands:
Context Menu At the top of each Tab menu is an entry that opens into the dialog’s context menu, which contains operations
specific to that particular type of dialog. For example, the context menu for the Patterns dialog contains a set of operations
for manipulating patterns.
Add Tab This entry opens into a submenu allowing you to add a large variety of dockable dialogs as new tabs.

Close Tab This entry closes the dialog. Closing the last dialog in a dock causes the dock itself to close. Choosing this menu
entry has the same effect as pressing the "Close Tab" button.
Detach Tab This entry detaches the dialog from the dock, creating a new dock with the detached dialog as its only member. It
has the same effect as dragging the tab out of the dock and releasing it at a random location.
