    • Drag and Drop Tip

    Because SuperTab is not an App with a constant visual presense, if you want to drag from the Finder or other App into SuperTab you have to activate SuperTab during the drag and drop process.

    To do so, click and drag on the item you want to drop into SuperTab, then (without letting up on the mouse button) activate SuperTab as you normally would (Command-Tab, Option-Tap, Double Press Command or via Mouse Hot Corner) and then drag the item into SuperTab where you want and drop it.
