Promoting children if they don't match parent containers

[nath1as]

I'm using TST with containers and would like to make typed trees, so that parent could only have a child if it was the same type otherwise the new tab would be a sibling.

Is this possible to do?

I'm pretty sure you can't do this directly with TST. I was thinking about how you might do this with CSS, but am not sure it is possible. I'm sure this could be done with a helper addon. (You would just need to watch for new tabs, compare container information [if available for tab information], change the parent-child relationship based on the comparison result)

Yea, for now,my solution is opening all in new tabs and indenting with keyboard,
maybe there is some container extensions that would organize tabs like that ...

This functionality looks beyond the project scope of TST, instead I recommend you to develop a new helper addon for TST. It will need to watch two events: new tabs opened with container (observable via tabs.onCreated handler) and tree structure changes on TST.
