I know how to create a new tab in the [openprocessing.org](http://openprocessing.org) IDE by clicking the button labeled “+” to the right of the names of the tabs above the code editor. But, by default, the tabs are named “tabx”, where “x” is a numeral. I can’t figure out how to rename tabs. I’ve seen other sketches with renamed tabs, so I know it’s possible. Can someone help me?

Thanks!

On a Mac you just select tab2 and then double click on it and then you can rename to whatever you want.

@svan, you saved the day again! Thanks! I’m on a Mac. I tried left and right button clicks with modifiers, but didn’t even think about double click. Duh…

Thank you!
