4 sourcesIt do uses some Chromium code. See https://github.com/rsms/chromium-tabs
In Why I Wrote a Programmer's Text EditorHere is a library for putting chrome tabs into your osx apps:
https://github.com/rsms/chromium-tabs
Its basically the cocoa implementation of chrome's tabs ripped out and put into its own objective c lib. used by kod and other things mentioned in here. It includes all the seamless dragging and dropping of tabs between windows, everything the browser does.
In Close Tab Behaviour in Google ChromeIt's based on https://github.com/rsms/chromium-tabs which is a lose port + mimic of Chromium code.
In Kod is a new Node.js scriptable code editor for OSX
