Function blocks and subsystems open in a new window

I use Simulink with many Subsystems. If I open a Block, a new window will appear. That's quit annoying, if you open 10 blocks.

I know there must be a possibility to change that behavior. So that the new block is displayed in the existing window.

But how can I configure that?

Simulink window/model behaviour changed considerably in R2012b.

Prior to 2012b there is a preference to control how/whether a new window opens when you double-click on a subsystem. See http://blogs.mathworks.com/seth/2009/11/18/back-seat-driver-simulink-tips-for-efficient-model-navigation/ for info on setting the preference.

For 2012b, when tabbed windows were introduced, the preference disappeared.

As found here:

You can use tabs in the Simulink Editor to make it easier to navigate between model windows for the top model and subsystems. To open a subsystem in a separate tab:

  • Right-click the Subsystem block.
  • From the context-menu, select Open In New Tab.

I am not aware of any short(er) cuts for this action, or that is is possible to set this as the default; I would just love it if this were possible...
