Switch and close

Click a tab, or press Ctrl+1 to 9 (⌘ on a Mac). Close a tab with its ×, or focus it and press Delete. Closing only removes the repo from ratchet. Nothing on disk changes.

On the phone

The tabs become a repo list at the top of the screen, with add, find and close in the same list.

Screenshots use example data. Written for ratchet 0.2.1.
