There's a positive and negative side to creating a large number of bins in the Browser. Its great for breaking up different types of content into bins specific to that content. On the other hand, it can make it challenging when you are currently just accessing material from two or three bins that are spread out from one another in the Browser. Here's a simple solution to keeping those current bins constantly at your fingertips.
1. Locate a bin you want to access.
2. Hold down the Option key and double-click on the icon for the bin.
This opens the bin as a tab attached to the main Browser window (as opposed to opening the bin as a separate floating window).
3. Click back on the main Browser tab and keep Option/double-clicking open the bins you want access to currently.
You now have several tabs you can quickly switch between to access your clips.
4. When you're done working with these bins, right-click on the bin tab and choose Close Tab (or press Control/W which is the shortcut for close tab).
Navigating Between Tabs
For those of you addicted to finding quicker ways of doing certain tasks- here's a handy one. With all these new tabs open, we'll want to quickly switch between them, which we can do with keyboard shortcuts.
To move through tabs left to right: hold down Command and Shift together, then press the ] (bracket) key.
