Some of the most practical manager improvements were tiny. settingTabMove is a good example: it simply changed the order of edit tabs in the document form, but that could make day-to-day editing much smoother.

Core Idea

if ($e->name == 'OnDocFormRender') {
    // Move selected tabs with a small jQuery helper.
}

The plugin hooked into OnDocFormRender and used a small script to move tabs into a more useful order.

Why It Matters

  • better tab order speeds up editorial work
  • small manager changes can have a high practical impact
  • workflow addons often matter more than flashy features

This belongs in Ecosystem because it shows how teams improved Evolution CMS by shaping the manager around real usage patterns.
