Add support for detaching a tab #29

Open jonhoo opened 10 years ago

jonhoo commented 10 years ago

A feature I have repeatedly been wishing was available is the ability to detach a tab. For example, I might have a terminal window with two tabs where I suddenly want to be able to look at output in both the running shells at the same time. At the moment, I have to either kill the process running in one tab and restart it in another window, or swap quickly between them, both of which are less than ideal...

I don't know if it'd be possible to implement something like this without major rewriting, but it would certainly be very useful!

In fact, the opposite feature would also be useful; having the ability to move an urxvt window into a tab of another urxvt window. Not sure how it would work in practice though..

Perhaps instead you should look at your windows manager’s capabilities of tabbing windows? Admittedly, integration may be less tight, and for example activity marks might be unavailable, but you should be able to achieve tab detaching.
