TABBED(1)

✨ TABBED(1) ✨

okay so welcome to tabbed, bestie 💖 this is the manual page for it, from the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? it's giving minimalism in the best way possible.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tabbed — a generic tabbed interface 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

tabbed [-c] [-d] [-k] [-s] [-v] [-g geometry] [-n name] [-p [s{+/-}]pos]
[-o normbgcol] [-O normfgcol] [-t selbgcol] [-T selfgcol] [-u urgbgcol]
[-U urgfgcol] [-r narg] [command ...]

like, that's the whole vibe right there 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

tabbed is a simple tabbed container for applications which support XEmbed. no cap, that's literally its whole personality.

so here's the tea: tabbed will run the command you gave it, and it appends the xid of tabbed as an argument to that command. (peep the EXAMPLES section if you wanna see it in action 👀)

you can turn off the automatic spawning of the command by passing the -s parameter, if that's your thing.

and if you don't provide a command at all? tabbed will just print its xid and run nothing. iconic lazy queen behaviour honestly 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -c — close tabbed when the last tab is closed. mutually exclusive with -f, so pick a lane bestie.
• -d — detaches tabbed from the terminal and prints its XID to stdout.
• -f — fill up tabbed again by spawning the provided command, when the last tab is closed. mutually exclusive with -c.
• -g geometry — defines the X11 geometry string, which will fixate the height and width of tabbed. the syntax is [=][width{xX}height][{+-}xoffset{+-}yoffset]. see XParseGeometry(3) for further details.
• -k — close the foreground tabbed client (instead of tabbed and all its clients) when WM_DELETE_WINDOW is sent.
• -n name — will set the WM_CLASS attribute to name.
• -p [s{+-}]pos — will set the absolute or relative position of where to start a new tab. when pos is given without s in front it's an absolute position. then negative numbers will be the position from the last tab, where -1 is the last tab. if s is given, then pos is a relative position to the current selected tab. if this reaches the limits of the tabs, those limits then apply.
• -r narg — will replace the nargth argument in command with the window id, rather than appending it to the end.
• -s — will disable automatic spawning of the command.
• -o normbgcol — defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and X color names are supported.
• -O normfgcol — defines the normal foreground color.
• -t selbgcol — defines the selected background color.
• -T selfgbcol — defines the selected foreground color.
• -u urgbgcol — defines the urgent background color.
• -U urgfgbcol — defines the urgent foreground color.
• -v — prints version information to stderr, then exits.

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

$ tabbed surf -e

$ tabbed urxvt -embed

$ tabbed xterm -into

$ xid=$(tabbed -d);urxvt -embed $xid

$ tabbed -r 2 st -w '' -e tmux

---

🧚 CUSTOMIZATION 🧚

tabbed by default uses Ctrl as the Mod key, and you can customize that by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code. this keeps it fast, secure and simple. honestly? we love a tiny codebase moment 👑

Debian also provides the tabbed.meta alternative which uses the Windows key as Mod key.
