URxvt terminals with GTK tabs. Tabs are implemented by embedding URxvt in a GTK notebook container, using pygobject as an interface to GTK. URxvt does provide a rudimentary default GTK tabs implementation using perl, but with limited features (e.g. no tab dragging or tab closing).

• Tab name editing (double click).
• Tab closing, drag & drop.
• Inherits tab titles set by shells.
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Install the package via pip (either the pypi or github version), and run urxvt-tabbed.

The configuration is read from ~/.config/urxvt_tabbed/urxvt_tabbed.conf, which uses the ini format:

[section]
foo = bar

• font: font description used for UI, e.g. Monospace, Inconsolata 12 or Envy Code R italic 16. Defaults come from GTK.
• default_size: Default window size, e.g. maximize, 800x600. The default size is 800x600.

• close_last_tab: One of open_new_tab, close_application

• prev_tab: Previous tab, defaults to Control + Page_Up
• next_tab: Next tab, defaults to Control + Page_Down
• move_tab_prev: Move tab left, defaults to Control + Shift + Page_Up
• move_tab_next: Move tab right, defaults to Control + Shift + Page_Down
• new_tab: New tab, defaults to Control + Shift + T
• close_tab: Close tab, defaults to Control + F4
• edit_tab: Edit tab label, defaults to Control + Shift + E
• switch_to_tab_1, switch_to_tab_2, ..., switch_to_tab_10: Switch to tab 1, 2, ..., 10, defaults to Alt + 1, Alt + 2, ..., Alt + 0
