Hiding tab bar
I use i3 in my pc, and for me it's quicker and easier to tile and tab through terminal windows using it. So the tab bar becomes kinda useless, and only wastes some precious screen space. Is there a way to hide it?
No, there is currently no way of hiding the tab bar.
It could be implemented by stuffing the hamburger menu up next to the window controls, but the bigger problem at the moment is that extraterm doesn't support multiple windows (yet).
@lcagustini Version 0.38.0 now supports a compact window title bar. It still contains tabs but is vertically compact.
+1 for this... mostly what I am looking for is similar functionality to Terminator or Tilix where you can choose to not show the tab bar with split panes. Hyper is another good example, you can split pane and just have separators so its functionality is similar to Terminator.
My primary concern with adding this, is what to do when the user opens new tabs. There is no where to show that there are multiple tabs in that pane, nor is that an obvious way to switch between them.
It would be really great if hiding tabs would be implemented. I'm trying out this project and, so far, I can't live with such tabs for a daily driver :confused: However, I loved the project :heart_eyes:

I can think of three nice ways about that:
- Option do disable tabs all together in the settings. (My personal favorite option since I rely heavily on
tmux). - Use a pallet to switch between tabs, same as the command pallet. IMHO this could come handy even with tabs enabled.
- Hide the tabs bar, but show it when the mouse hovers near it.
+1 to this request. I definitely like the idea of a menu similar to the pallet or something similar. This is probably already implemented, I just have not looked or use it, but Ctrl+tab or similar key combo to switch tabs and there could be a text label of what tab you are, or an indicator symbol of how many there are etc.
I usually use a horizontal split in my window for 2 shells, but having the large tabs right there in the middle is not the most ideal to me. So being able to hide them if I wanted sounds quite nice.
