How to Merge Select Windows

Hello.

I've been trying to figure out how to merge select windows in Safari with little to success. To better explain what I mean, here is my issue.

I have two Safari windows open (A and B). In window A, I have multiple tabs open, and in window B, I only have 1 web page open. Clicking a link in one of the webpages in window A opens up an entirely new window - window C. What I'm trying to do is take window C and move it into window A while leaving window B a single web page with no tabs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Macbook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Move window C so that the tab bars on windows A and C are visible simultaneously, and drag the single tab into window A's tab bar. Alternatively, control-click the window A link and open it in a new tab.

Hi,

This worked for me: http://tips4mac.blogspot.com/2007/12/merging-all-windows-in-safari.html

Looks like instructions are for a previous Mac OS X, but close enough.

Hope this helps.

Carolyn 🙂

Sounds like you're looking for:
"Window" Menu -> "Merge All Windows"

However I'm looking for a way to do this with SOME of my open windows.
e.g.
I have window A with 3 tabs, window B with 2 tabs and widow C with 3 tabs.
I want to combine A and B into D. So I end up with window D with 5 tabs and window C with 3 tabs.

Anyone know of something that'll do that?

Thanks for the reply. Window C, however, does not have a tab. It is just a single window with one web page open with no additional tabs.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, this is not what I'm trying to do. I have 3 windows open, and would only like to merge two of the 3 windows while leaving the third as a stand alone window.

Yikes. Well, hopefully someone will be able to come up with an idea. That might be more then the Mac OS X can do unless someone has a Terminal command that can do this.
