# Tabs
In Trilium, tabs allow easy switching between notes.
## Layout
Depending on the Vertical and horizontal layout:
* For the vertical layout, the tabs will be placed at the top but to the right of the Note Tree.
* For the horizontal layout, the tabs will be placed at the top in full-width, above the [note tree](Note%20Tree.md), allowing for more tabs to be comfortably displayed.
## Interaction
* To create a new tab, press the  button that is to the right of the last tab.
* To close a tab, press the corresponding  button.
* For multitasking, tabs can be used alongside Split View. Each tab can have one or more notes, displayed horizontally.
* Tabs can be reordered by drag-and-dropping it into a new position.
* An existing tab can be displayed in a new window by dragging the tab upwards or downwards. It is not possible to combine tabs back into another window.
## Keyboard interaction
Since tabs are a commonly used feature, there are multiple keyboard shortcuts that can be used:
* Ctrl+T to open a new tab.
* Ctrl+W to close the current tab.
* Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the last closed tab.
* Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go to the next or previous tab.
* Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, up to Ctrl+9 to activate the first, second and up til ninth tab.
* There is also a shortcut to go to the last tab, but it is not assigned a key by default.
