Tabs

Tabs let you work on multiple requests at the same time. Each tab is an independent workspace with its own request, response, and layout state.

Opening and closing tabs

ActionShortcut
New tabCmd+T
Close active tabCmd+W
Next tabCmd+]
Previous tabCmd+[

You can also click the + button at the end of the tab bar, or middle-click a tab to close it.

Tab persistence

Tabs are session-only — they are not restored when you quit and relaunch Restroom. Your saved requests are always available from the sidebar; tabs just represent what you currently have open.

If a tab has unsaved changes, closing it will prompt you to confirm.

Panel layout

Each tab remembers its own panel layout. Cycle through layouts with the button in the bottom toolbar:

  • Split — request and response side by side (default)
  • Request only — full width for building complex requests
  • Response only — full width for reading a large response

Dragging to reorder

Drag tab titles to reorder them within the tab bar.

Reordering request and response tabs

The sub-tabs (Body, Params, Headers, etc.) can be reordered in Settings → Global → Tabs. Changes apply to all tabs immediately.
