Make functionality more discoverable:
* a new group control
* an exit control
* a text field to filter instead of the search icon


Interaction issues that need to be fixed:
'''Must-have:'''<br>
* You can't click a group
* You can't detach a group to a window
* When creating a new group, autofocus the title field
* Multiselect is not supported in groups
* Text editing doesn't support arrow keys
* Private mode ungroups your tabs (still the case?)
* Creating a new group and clicking in it should just create a blank new tab
* When you close the last tab in a group, you automatically get sent to another open group, is this what we want?
* Hitting Cmd-W when in panorama removes the selected tab, which is unexpected (it feels like a window operation at that point)
* Groups from Panorama should show in List All Tabs: bug 596017
* Tabs should not be able to exist without a group
* Dragging shouldn't be outside of the title bar
* Never show me groups when I haven't asked (closing the last tab in a group, Aero Peek)


Other issues that will probably need separate feature pages, but that we mention here for completeness:
*You can't click a group to activate the whole group (Creating a new group and clicking in it should just create a blank new tab) (Don't show the drag cursor on groups now that entering the group is the dominant operation. Dragging could still work, of course.)<br>
* minimize need for manual positioning and grouping
*When creating a new group, autofocus the title field (also for creating groups by dragging)<br>
* partial thumbnails
*Tabs should not be able to exist without a group <br>
* titles should eliminate redundant text
*a new group control<br>
* Groups = Windows
*an exit control<br>
* App tabs need to be global to windows
*a text field to filter instead of the search icon<br>
 
'''Nice-to-have:'''<br>
 
*Multiselect is not supported in groups
*Blank groups with no name get removed, shouldn't<br>
 
'''Stuff we are undecided about or don't know current state of:'''<br>
 
*Never show me groups when I haven't asked (closing the last tab in a group, Aero Peek) <br>
*minimize need for manual positioning and grouping<br>
*Groups from Panorama could show in List All Tabs — but we should probably just show the group names, not individual tabs. Related: bug 596017 <br>
