add support for multiple terminals using tabs #16

Closed RafalSkolasinski closed 8 months ago

RafalSkolasinski commented 4 years ago

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?

tonydero commented 4 years ago

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.

RafalSkolasinski commented 4 years ago

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

tonydero commented 4 years ago

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:

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.

I'll close this as this can be solved with native i3/sway as explained above.
