Don, please make your tabs work like Chrome's - I've fallen in love all over again. Tab management with Chrome is the best there is right now. I just love being able to tear off a tab and create a new window, then add more tabs to that new window from the old one etc (if I could do this with XYthen I wouldn't have to keep reminding you that cached searches would rock). Frankly, if you could recreate the omnibar I would be amazed, astounded and extremely happy :mrgreen:
All this is not so difficult. Actually Chrome is moving into the XY's direction here. XY's Address Bar is a "Psychic Omni Box" since long! When I write my own combo box (which I will) all these things are quite easy to do. So, get ready for extreme happiness!

If you can make address bar like it is on Vista with separate clickable parts then would be awesome in terms of productivity and convenience.

I felt like adding my two thumbs up in favour of that choice and also because I remember Don saying that the more people express interest in something the higher is the possibility of it being implemented so why not chip in with my 2 cents? :)

I find it more convenient to use quick scripting in the AB to write and test basic scripts than the Try Script... dialog, so it would be nice if one could drag the contents of the address bar down to the list to activate XY's Dropped Text function.

Then when my script outgrows the AB I can most easily turn it into a script file.
(By the same token it would be nice if there were an easy way to go from Try Script... to a Script file. Maybe some Open/Save functionality?)
