A Zellij plugin for quickly searching and switching between tabs.
Tab
to cycle through tab listUp
and Down
to cycle through tab listEnter
to switch to the selected tabEsc
or Ctrl + c
to exitTo enable quick jumps, you need to set the config option for it to
quick_jump true
. The downside is that you won't be able to properly filter down tabs that have a number in their name.
I rename my tabs so once I have a lot of them I have to start
counting and then press Ctrl + t
then <tab num>
. So I wanted something
that let’s me type to filter the tab list and then press enter to jump to the selected tab.
Download room.wasm
from the latest release
mkdir -p ~/.config/zellij/plugins/
mv room.wasm ~/.config/zellij/plugins/
You don't need to keep
room.wasm
at this specified location. It's just where I like to keep my zellij plugins.
mkdir -p ~/.config/zellij/plugins && \
curl -L "https://github.com/rvcas/room/releases/latest/download/room.wasm" -o ~/.config/zellij/plugins/room.wasm
Add the following to your zellij config somewhere inside the keybinds section:
shared_except "locked" {
bind "Ctrl y" {
LaunchOrFocusPlugin "file:~/.config/zellij/plugins/room.wasm" {
floating true
ignore_case true
quick_jump true
}
}
}
You likely already have a
shared_except "locked"
section in your configs. Feel free to addbind
there.
The ignore_case
defaults to false
if absent. If set to true
, filtering the tab names ignores
the case of the filter string and the tab name.
If you find any issues or want to suggest ideas please open an issue.
Make sure you have rust installed then run:
zellij action new-tab --layout ./dev.kdl
