Last month, Microsoft revealed more information about Sets, their new tab-based multi-window interface for Windows 10. The concept behind Sets is to make sure that everything related to the task you are doing: relevant webpages, research documents, necessary files and applications, is connected and available to you in one click. Microsoft is releasing Sets to select Insiders as a controlled study starting with Windows 10 Build 17063 which was released yesterday. In this initial release, Sets will have following features:

  • Modern apps can add web tabs
  • Sets of tabs will automatically save with most files and will automatically restore the next time you open them
  • App tabs can be dragged out of a Set
  • The new tab page will allow you to search the web, access frequently visited websites, and browse a news feed

Microsoft is also planning to add the following features to Sets in the future.

  • Desktop apps and File Explorer will be able to add tabs
  • Tabs can be merged together
  • Web tabs can be dragged out of a Set
  • You will be able to control what tabs you restore when launching a Set
  • Timeline integration
  • The new tab page will allow local search, show frequently visited apps, and include additional feeds
  • The new tab page will be able to launch apps in a new tab

You can use the following keyboard shortcuts to control Sets.

Shortcuts Action
Win+Ctrl+Tab Switch to the next tab
Win+Ctrl+Shift+Tab Switch to the previous tab
Win+Ctrl+W Close the active tab
Win+Ctrl+1 through 8 Switch to a specific tab
Win+Ctrl+9 Switch to the last tab
Win+Ctrl+T Open a new tab

If you don’t like Sets experience, you can also turn it off by going to Start > Settings > System > Multitasking and Uncheck Tabs in apps.
