14 tabbed is a simple tabbed container for applications which support XEm‐
15 bed. Tabbed will then run the provided command with the xid of tabbed
16 as appended argument. (See EXAMPLES.) The automatic spawning of the
17 command can be disabled by providing the -s parameter. If no command is
18 provided tabbed will just print its xid and run no command.
19
21 -c close tabbed when the last tab is closed. Mutually exclusive
22 with -f.
23 -d detaches tabbed from the terminal and prints its XID to stdout.
25 -f fill up tabbed again by spawning the provided command, when the
27 last tab is closed. Mutually exclusive with -c.
28 -g geometry
30 defines the X11 geometry string, which will fixate the height
31 and width of tabbed. The syntax is
32 [=][width{xX}height][{+-}xoffset{+-}yoffset]. See XParseGeome‐
33 try(3) for further details.
34 -k close foreground tabbed client (instead of tabbed and all
36 clients) when WM_DELETE_WINDOW is sent.
37 -n name
39 will set the WM_CLASS attribute to name.
40 -p [s{+-}]pos
42 will set the absolute or relative position of where to start a
43 new tab. When pos is is given without 's' in front it is an ab‐
44 solute position. Then negative numbers will be the position from
45 the last tab, where -1 is the last tab. If 's' is given, then
46 pos is a relative position to the current selected tab. If this
47 reaches the limits of the tabs; those limits then apply.
48 -r narg
50 will replace the narg th argument in command with the window id,
51 rather than appending it to the end.
52 -s will disable automatic spawning of the command.
54 -o normbgcol
56 defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and X color
57 names are supported.
58 -O normfgcol
60 defines the normal foreground color.
61 -t selbgcol
63 defines the selected background color.
64 -T selfgbcol
66 defines the selected foreground color.
67 -u urgbgcol
69 defines the urgent background color.
70 -U urgfgbcol
72 defines the urgent foreground color.
73 -v prints version information to stderr, then exits.
