Select which tab to focus

[mklomp]

Description / Summary

It would be nice if it could be possible to auto-select a tab on load. At the moment the first tab is always active.

Value / benefit

In order to explain the user what to type in which terminal I am planning on using tabs to show the 'status' of multiple linux terminals. It would help if the new 'terminal' tab would the be active.

I'm not clear what the "new" tab references here. Are tabs being dynamically added on a page in this use case? If yes, I'd recommend using custom JavaScript to select the new tab.

Otherwise, please could you provide more details on:

1. The behaviour you'd like to see
2. How you'd like to specify this behaviour in markdown

I'd imagine it would be similar to the selected option in https://sphinx-design.readthedocs.io/en/furo-theme/tabs.html#tab-item-options 😉

Cheers @chrisjsewell - what happens here if a user marks multiple tabs as selected in a set?

@foster999, as far as I can see this would indeed be similar to the selected option mentioned by @chrisjsewell. I see that my description with the 'new' tab indeed might be a bit unclear ;).
