Description
### Expected Behavior
First of all, if I wanted tabs I would use Postman. Not having clunky tabs is one of the reasons why I love Insomnia, so please please provide an option to disable tabs.
Secondly, clicking on a folder to open/close it opens a tab on that folder. That's terrible UX, I try to keep all my folders closed and only open the ones I'm currently using otherwise I get lost, that means the tabs bar quickly gets filed with folders.
Thirdly, something changed around updating folder variables. Now if I go to a folder and update the variables and just click on anther request, these variables are not saved. The only way I've found I can make the changes to save is by making the variable changes and then click somewhere else in the json first before clicking out of the folder.
### Actual Behavior
There should be a setting to allow users to disable tabs.
Folders should no open a tab when the user is just expanding or contracting the folder. I would suggest that tabs should only open on double-click. Please.
Folder variable changes should apply seemlessly.
