Requirements

v0.2.0 and higher requires gedit 3. The last version compatible with gedit 2 is v0.1.2.

Installation

1. Download the source code (as zip or tar.gz) and extract.
2. Copy the controlyourtabs folder and the appropriate .plugin file into ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins (create if it does not exist):
   • For gedit 3.8 and later, copy controlyourtabs.plugin.
   • For gedit 3.6 and earlier, copy controlyourtabs.plugin.python2 and rename to controlyourtabs.plugin.
3. Restart gedit, then activate the plugin in the Plugins tab in gedit's Preferences window.

Packages

• Fedora (official repo) (Fedora 29 and later, Rawhide): sudo dnf install gedit-control-your-tabs

Usage

• Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab - Switch tabs in most recently used order.
• Ctrl+Page Up / Ctrl+Page Down - Switch tabs in tab row order.

Hold down Ctrl to continue tab switching. Press Esc while switching to cancel and return to the initial tab.

Preferences

In gedit 3.4 or later, the plugin supports these preferences:

• Use tab row order for Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab - Change Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab to switch tabs in tab row order instead of most recently used order.

Contributing

Please base changes on, and open pull requests against, the develop branch.

The code in controlyourtabs/utils comes from python-gtk-utils; changes should ideally be contributed to that project, then pulled back into this one with git subtree pull.
