This is pretty much the original tabbed utility but patched and fixed because some patches are a bit old.
Upstream is here:
git clone https://git.suckless.org/tabbed
- alpha
- adds transparency support
- the orginal patch did not account for an update in
config.mk. - the original patch direction for st is wrong.
- autohide
- hides tab bar when there is only one tab.
- clientnumber
- shows the tab number because you're definitely not going to count them yourself.
- xft
- adds UTF8 support.
To get st working with alpha, do the change noted on the page but at x.c instead of st.c.
Quoting the page: If you want to use transparency in st with this patch, you also need to replace
define USE_ARGB (alpha != OPAQUE && opt_embed == NULL)by
define USE_ARGB (alpha != OPAQUE)Below is the original README:
# Usage
`sudo make install`.
Try `man tabbed`.
tl;dr: you can try `tabbed st -w` `tabbed -r 2 st -w '' -n "helloworld"` and stuff like that.
