tabbed is a simple tabbed container for applications which
support XEmbed. Tabbed will then run the provided command with the xid of
tabbed as appended argument. (See EXAMPLES.) The automatic spawning of the
command can be disabled by providing the -s parameter. If no command is
provided tabbed will just print its xid and run no command.
- -c
- close tabbed when the last tab is closed. Mutually exclusive with -f.
- -d
- detaches tabbed from the terminal and prints its XID to stdout.
- -f
- fill up tabbed again by spawning the provided command, when the last tab
is closed. Mutually exclusive with -c.
- -g geometry
- defines the X11 geometry string, which will fixate the height and width of
tabbed. The syntax is
[=][width{xX}height][{+-}xoffset{+-}yoffset].
See XParseGeometry(3) for further details.
- -k
- close foreground tabbed client (instead of tabbed and all clients) when
WM_DELETE_WINDOW is sent.
- -n name
- will set the WM_CLASS attribute to name.
- -p
[s{+-}]pos
- will set the absolute or relative position of where to start a new tab.
When pos is is given without 's' in front it is an absolute
position. Then negative numbers will be the position from the last tab,
where -1 is the last tab. If 's' is given, then pos is a relative
position to the current selected tab. If this reaches the limits of the
tabs; those limits then apply.
- -r narg
- will replace the narg th argument in command with the window
id, rather than appending it to the end.
- -s
- will disable automatic spawning of the command.
- -o normbgcol
- defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and X
color names are supported.
- -O normfgcol
- defines the normal foreground color.
- -t selbgcol
- defines the selected background color.
- -T selfgbcol
- defines the selected foreground color.
- -u urgbgcol
- defines the urgent background color.
- -U urgfgbcol
- defines the urgent foreground color.
- -v
- prints version information to stderr, then exits.

tabbed by default uses Ctrl as Mod key and can be
customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
Debian also provides the tabbed.meta alternative which uses
the Windows key as Mod key.
