@natharari #emacs
1) 2-3, depending on the use
2) Not really
3) C-x t 2 for opening, 0 for closing
4) tab-bar
5) Not using mastodon.el (not yet, at least).

@natharari
1) 5-7 tabs open in my note-taking frame, similar in code frames
2) No
3) C-comma and C-period for previous/next-buffer
4) tab-line
5) Don't use mastodon.el

I've observed that engagement for my posts on #Mastodon (where I have 40k followers) over the past month is now consistently higher than on #Twitter (115k followers).

I don't like them either and I couldn't agree more.

@natharari "1 tab" as I've never had the urge to start with tabs after setting up my concept using #eyebrowse and their named "tabs" (AFAIR they use "sessions") of buffers if you wish.

I'm not using Mastodon.el but I'd ask tons of questions to people who do.

@publicvoit Oh it was just general curiosity. It's always interesting to see how people use Emacs because of the infinite ways in which you can configure and use it. Sometimes I get ideas for my own use by seeing how other people use it and then add some things to my own config of course.

Also, I used to use eyebrowse but I never really stuck with it. I did like it for a while though.

@natharari oh, and picture (added the (1)--(9) to the tab format characters to make jumping between them based on numbers easier)

@natharari I launch with 2 tabs (Mail and Org, named thus) in tab-bar-mode.

I open a 3rd tab for everything else. Sometimes more to get contexts quickly. Usually, I have some Magit buffer open at all times in the 3rd during work.

⌘1--⌘9 for quick tab switching (default Mac shortcuts)

Also bound my leader key + `t` to use the tab key map.

@natharari See here for the config:

Also search for `display-buffer-alist' for my overrides to dedicate stuff to tabs

@CEMedia@union.place @Jedigirl I think that was extremely well said. Thank you for writing this piece.

@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.
