add support for multiple terminals using tabs

Open RafalSkolasinski opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Guake, Yakukake (or even Konsole) allow you to have multiple terminals simultaneously and have them under different tabs.

I wonder if it would be possible to extend your code to somehow support this in a neat way?

Just to make sure you (any anyone else that might look at this) knows of other options, one can use tmux to add tabs to any terminal emulator.

I know about tmux but I really hate how copy - paste of mouse highlighted text works in it

I figured you knew and had your reasons, but wanted to make sure!

I use a terminal emulator that provides this feature (konsole, the supported gnome-terminal also does provide tabs) and would not need it in this project.

@RafalSkolasinski This is already supported. With the quickterm focused, use a sequence of commands through key bindings that you probably already have:

  • split horizontal
  • layout tabbed
  • Whatever you launch with the quickterm focused will now appear in a tab.

Now when you use the keybinding to toggle the quickterm, you will be toggling an i3/Sway tabbed container. This has been tested on Sway.
