Questions tagged [tabbar]

Tabbar is a minor mode that displays a tab bar at the top, similar to the idea of web browser’s tabs.

Tabbar is available from the MELPA repository. There is some documentation on the Emacs Wiki, and also in the source file itself: use M-x find-library tabbar.el from Emacs (after you have installed it!).

open emacs with certain number of tabs open by default

Is there a way to have emacs open up, say, 3 tabs, upon start up ? I am tired of all the time having to open them manually and then split window also. I would like to automate this via setting in my init.el file. Maybe someone can help?

How to prevent tabs from shrinking when using many tabs with tab-bar-mode?

I'm using tab-bar-mode in Emacs and noticed that, if there are a lot of tabs, then each tab shrink to accommodate the newer tabs. What I want to do instead is for the tabs to remain on a fixed width/size, and then show newer tabs on the right side…

Exclude/Separate diary and Packages buffer from tabbar group

I admit it, I use tabbar. It is a bit quirky but it works for me. There is just one thing I really tried very hard to solve but it was not possible. I think mainly because a lot of people don't use tabbar so there is not so much information out…
