This package piggy-backs on tab-bar-mode to implement a simple buffer manager. Instead of managing tabs it manages buffers.
Add the following tor your init file.
(tab-bar-buffers-mode t)Or enable tab-bar-buffers-mode from the Easy Customization form.
(customize-group 'tab-bar-buffers)tab-bar-buffers-mode has a few customization items of its own.
- Uninteresting buffers are buffer names that are not interesting
- Uninteresting prefixes are buffer name prefixes that are not interesting (default
(" " "*")) - Interesting buffers are buffers that are always interesting
If tab-bar-buffers-mode determines a buffer is uninteresting, it will not be shown in the tab bar.
Visible buffers are always shown.
Some of tab-bar-mode's customization options are also relevant for tab-bar-buffers.
- tab-bar-close-button-show
- tab-bar-position
- tab-bar-select-tab-modifiers
- tab-bar-tab-hints
If tab-bar-tab-name-function is tab-bar-tab-name-truncated, then tab-bar-tab-name-truncated-max and tab-bar-tab-name-ellipsis are honored.
The face for tab-bar-tab is used for current-buffer. tab-bar-tab-inactive is used for all other buffers.
Key and mouse bindings set by tab-bar-mode are preserved by advising some of tab-bar-mode's commands around their tab-bar-buffers equivalent, as defined by tab-bar--define-keys.
