Pin Tab Shortcut

Press ⌘D to move the tab you're on to the bottom of your pinned tabs, like in Arc. Press it on a pinned tab to unpin it.

Why use it

Dia's own Pin/Unpin Tab shortcut adds the tab to your favorites at the top. Putting a tab with your pinned tabs, above the line, is only in a tab's right-click menu as Pin as Tab. This puts it on a key.

Turn it on

Open Dia → Settings → Patches and switch on Pin Tab Shortcut. Or run:

diatweaks enable pinTabShortcut

Change the shortcut

It's ⌘D to begin with. Under the switch, click Shortcut and press the keys you want. It needs ⌘, ⌃ or ⌥, unless it's a function key. Press Delete to clear it, or Escape to keep the one you had.

FAQ

What happened to Bookmark This Page?

With this on, ⌘D pins instead. It still bookmarks when there's nothing to pin: on a favorite, on a tab inside a pinned folder, or in a window without tabs. Set another shortcut to keep ⌘D for bookmarks.

Where does an unpinned tab go?

Where Dia puts new tabs, the same as choosing Unpin from its right-click menu.

I pinned a tab and it disappeared.

With Collapse Pinned Tabs folded, a tab you pin joins the folded pinned tabs. Unfold them to see it.
