tabs questions:

1) How many tabs (not buffers) do you usually have open?
2) Are there a certain amount that you name for buffers you refer to several times a day?
3) What keybinds (if any) did you set to flip through them quickly?
4) Which tab system/package do you use?
5) If you use Mastodon.el, do you have a dedicated tab? More than one?

@dekkzz76

1) Cool
2) Like permanent ones you keep just one buffer open in, for example your daily todo.org, your daily notes, etc....
3) Your poor fingers. 🤣
4) Ok.

@natharari

tabs i use: dashboard, either guile, tcl, prolog or raku programming window setup, scratchpad.org, notmuch mail, elfeed, weechat in vterm

FWIW i use (tab-bar-mode 1) in my init.el

with only 4 to 6 tabs i don't feel the need for extra keybindings, if i had a lot more open & i think many ppl do then i probably would have them, i use the trackpoint on my thinkpad for the tabs so my hands never leave the kb

@dekkzz76 That makes sense. Thanks.

I use the same tab-bar-mode myself, but I was looking into Centaur. Just curious about it. But I like the minimalism of the default tab bar. It's very thin and takes up barely any room.

@natharari

i customised the active bar to be in bold font - might play with the colours yet

if you have a lot of tabs the famous Prot does a package to organise/group tabs by function or frame on his site.

@dekkzz76 Yeah I was looking into that as well, but I tend to limit my tabs to a maximum of about 8-12 maybe.
