Tab management Interface

Registered by ttosttos

Provide a consistent experience for dynamic tabs across elementary applications. Currently different apps have different tab behaviors and look/feel (terminal, file manager, brower, etc). Current HIG provides limited details:
http://elementaryos.org/docs/human-interface-guidelines/ui-toolkit-elements/dynamic-tabs
We should provide guidelines on default tab placement and width. Also, define default actions for increased productivity. For instance:
- open new tab when double-click on empty space in tab bar
- duplicate tab when double-click on tab
- hover to preview tab

Whiteboard

These points:
- open new tab when double-click on empty space in tab bar
- duplicate tab when double-click on tab
are carried on to Dan's specification. Kudos for duplicating on double click, great idea!
Marking superseded because Dan's spec is more complete: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/granite/+spec/tabbar
