: Switching between tabs while dragging layers in Photoshop? While using Photoshop I often need to drag layers from one document to another, but when I have many documents opened this gets a little

While using Photoshop I often need to drag layers from one document to another,
but when I have many documents opened this gets a little tricky.

The cause of this issue is the way that Photoshop hides the tabs when there are too many of them for the size of my window / screen.

To be more specific, the problem I'm experiencing because of that, is not being able to simply drag layers from one document to another as I normally would
(By simply dragging them onto the other tab) when they are too distant from each other on the tab menu.

I tried to find a few alternative ways of doing so, and would love to know if you know how to perform any of them, or alternatively find another solution for this.

Disable overflowing tabs, and having all of them displayed no matter how big my window is (While cutting the document titles a little bit of course).
Switch between tabs as usual ( By pressing CTRL + Tab) while dragging layers.
Somehow scroll the tab menu?

I guess another way would be to constantly re-order the tabs, or simply give up on them, but I'll keep these options last.

Thanks in advance!

It's so annoying that these tabs don't auto scroll.

My solution would be the same as above. Either reorder your tabs. Or click and drag a tab out of the tab line. So its just a pop up window.

Once your done either drag it back into line individually or go to window...arrange consolidate all tabs

I've stumbled upon this problem many times. My only work-around was dragging the tab beside or in close proximity to the tab I wanted to exchange layers with.

At times I would pop the tab outside of the list, go to the tab I want to drag the layer to, and just pop that tab (or should I say window) right beside it.

I hope that helps.
