Tabs

Tabs that tile the window, hide when there is only one, and can be dragged, renamed, duplicated and reopened. A dot says when something happened in a tab you are not looking at.

• A strip that stays out of the way. It hides while one tab is open, giving the row to the shell, and tiles the window’s width once there are more.
• Keys for all of it. Ctrl+Shift+T opens and Ctrl+Shift+W closes (Cmd+T and Cmd+W on macOS); Alt+1…Alt+9 (Cmd+1…Cmd+9) jump, with 9 always the last tab; Ctrl+Shift+Left and Right move one.
• Rename, duplicate, reopen. Double-click a tab to name it. Duplicate Tab opens the same shell where this one is now, beside it. Reopen Closed Tab (Ctrl+Shift+Z, Cmd+Z on macOS) brings back the last of ten closed tabs, in its directory and its old place.
• Activity and bell marks. A background tab shows a dot when output arrives after a quiet spell, such as a build finishing, and another color for a bell.
• Closing asks only when it matters. A tab whose shell is running something, a background job included, names it and asks before ending it. An idle prompt closes at once.
• A menu per tab. Right-click a tab for New Tab With, Duplicate, Rename, Close Others, Close to the Right and Move.
