Description
Hi,
It would be a nice improvement to have an option to make Tab(s) at the left
of the TabSheet optionally "Fixed".
We have a "Desktop" sheet as first tab. The desktop should be as accessible as possible.
But if there are man open tasks, and the user begins to scroll to the right, the left tabs are
hidden, of course. With fixed tab(s) at the left, scrolling should only happen in the non-fixed tabs
at the right.
This way, the first tab would always be selectable with a single click :-)
Best regards
Benjamin

Research direction
Start by locating the TabSheet implementation and its existing tab-scrolling behavior. Trace how tabs are rendered and scrolled, then determine how an optional fixed-left tab setting would fit the current API. Done means selected left tabs remain visible while only the remaining tabs scroll, with coverage for the new behavior.
