How to Duplicate a Tab in Gimp
The GIMP, or "GNU Image Manipulation Program," program interface consists of a main artboard area and a series of windows that contain docked dialog boxes containing tools, color swatches, and other image editing elements. These dialog boxes are accessible through tabs that are displayed in a row across the top of the window. You can duplicate any tab by clicking the tab menu button and adding the same dialog box to each window, allowing you to access a docked dialog box from multiple windows.

Tips & Warnings
Any changes made to the dialog box in a different window or another instance of the dockable dialog box will be duplicated in all instances of the same dialog box. For example, selecting a new type of brush in one "Brush" dialog box will select the same brush type in all open duplicated "Brush" dialog boxes.
