Rather than the right. Perhaps this can be done now, for all I know.

No it can't. So this is posted in the right place: Suggestions.
Any thoughts on whether it is a GOOD one? [8-|]
I neglected to type in optionally.

The right is normal in other applications (e.g. Internet explorer). But instead of clicking on resources or links, you can already drag them to wherever you want them.
I'd like to be able to choose a default. I tend to accumulate a lot of tabs. The ones that open up by clicking a search result, double-click, or right-click tend to be resources I only need temporarily. Is there any way to 'zoom' to the right side of a given window? One of the things I'd like to avoid is closing resources I've established as 'permanent.' I'm getting better about holding my mouse down over the right arrow, but occasionally click the arrow multiple times resulting sometimes in resource tabs being closed that I did not intend to close. This happens in the opposite direction as well.
I tend to accumulate a lot of tabs, too. There's no way to scroll all the way to the right side of the tabs other than clicking the arrow multiple times. This is a pain. I agree it would be nice to have a quick way to get to the end of the list of tabs in the current window, perhaps Ctrl+Down and Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Shift+Down and Ctrl+Shift+Up since these seem to be redundantly assigned to the same operation as Down and Up (scroll up/down by a line at a time), or rather the Ctrl and Shift modifiers are probably being ignored.
I also wish there were some easy way to find a book that you know is open in one of your zillions of tabs but aren't sure where it is (the book icons are too small to tell, or it might be scrolled off the screen) -- a dropdown menu somewhere, akin to the "Switch Windows" menu in Word, where you can see a textual list of all that you've got open and scroll through it and jump directly to what you're looking for. Heck, that's such a good idea, I think I'll go over and post it on UserVoice! Oops, I wish we weren't limited to 10 votes...
Another thing I forgot to mention is that by positioning the session tabs to the left would make it MUCH easier to hover over the tab and therefore identify the title of an open resource more quickly. It would actually be nice to be able to hover over the menu icon of an open resource to get this title information since you'd NEVER have to scroll horizontally to find it.
Well, hardly ever. If you'd scrolled horizontally to find other tabs and then changed your mind about switching to them, the currently active one would now be scrolled off the tile to the LEFT, so if you forgot its title you'd have to scroll to see it.
However, another idea I've had is to make hovering over the panel menu icon pop up the info window about the current resource. That panel menu icon is always visible, no matter where you've scrolled the tab list to. And hovering over it currently does nothing, so this wouldn't be getting in the way of any other functionality. You'd have to hover for a couple of seconds anyway, and usually if you're going to click on it to drop down the menu, you'll click within that timeframe.
I suspect I'm not using the right terminology. I'm talking about the big resource icon in the upper left corner of a Logos window. Clicking this icon shows font size setting, link set setting, print command, etc., etc.
How about <ctrl><tab><end> or (if already at the end) <ctrl><tab><home>
Don't you mean Ctrl+Shift+End / Ctrl+Shift+Home? (Or Ctrl+Alt+End / Ctrl+Alt+Home). The Tab key is not generally used as a modifier for other keys.

Perhaps. My thought was that <tab> would be appropriate to indicate the function while <end> or <home> would indicate the direction.
I'd suggest cmd+shift+right arrow+right elbow on the desk+eyes glancing to the right / cmd+shift+left arrow+left elbow on the desk+eyes glancing to the left
How about continue to open new tabs on the right side, as that seems to be the standard among other tabbed apps, but automatically scroll right to the newly opened tab, as that also appears to be the standard among other tabbed apps.
I would like to be able to specify on which side any particular resource will ordinarily open. I don't want my note files opening on the left, but that's what happens. I don't want commentaries opening on the left, but they do. I want original language texts (better might be "ancient texts") to open on the left with English language translations opening on the right. If I could set a default side for them to open, unspecified resources could open wherever until I see fit to specify.

I think what the OP meant was the new tabs open up on the right of the long series of already open tabs in a particular tile and he wanted them to open on the left of that.
But yes, I agree with your new direction -- it would be nice to specific default tile (left or right) for particular types of resources to open in. You know, I'm sure, that you can drag a resource from the command bar menu to wherever you want it to open. But setting a default so that you don't have to bother with that would be nice.
Yes, that is what I meant with my original posting. The right and left window issue is a good one to consider too. Perhaps locking the right or left window while still allowing resources to be dragged to the locked side would be a good way to go. I'd like to lock my right window resources and have ALL other resources open on the left side.
