[Question] Similar tabs as in i3? #149

Open MathieuTuli opened 1 year ago

MathieuTuli commented 1 year ago

I'm having troubling with tabbed layouts. I see that bling's mstabs are in the layouts, but I'm confused/unable to actually set that layout and navigate between windows in the tab.

So I've noticed that hitting mod+space can allows you to select the mstabs layouts which seems to be added in config/awesome/configuration/layout.lua, but the behaviour is odd. For example, when I select the tabbed layout using mod+space, it seems after opening a new window the select layout changes back to tile mode? Also, in tabbed windows, I don't know how to cycle through the tabs. Using bling.module.tabbed.iter() here doesn't seem to work.

I'm coming from i3 so basically I'm wondering if its possible to have similar tabs to what i3 has, and if so how. I basically want to

  1. activate tabbed mode
  2. any new window created in the workspace is added as a tab
  3. and using mod+h/l navigates between tabs

I'm not sure if this is possible in given the configs in this project or at all tbh

@MathieuTuli Can you show a video of what the setup is doing currently with tabs? I understand that you want a behavior similar to i3, but I need a visual example of what bling's tabs are offering to you.
