tabbed works just fine, but switching to tabbedex doesn't work at all. The default keysyms do nothing and trying to add new ones doesn't work either. AFAIK it only takes replacing: for Am I missing any additional step, config or something here?

Thanks.

Any error output? Any required perl libs? I've never used or heard of it, so probably shouldn't even be chiming in

Have you used tabbedex with Debian before? Does a "locate" search for "tabbedex" show you where it is? (it should be in /usr/lib/urxvt/perl).

It's an AUR package on ARCH, which makes me think it's not in the standard repo. You may need to build it yourself.

But I don't use it, so I might be wrong. What special functionality do you need from tabbedex?

/unhelpful yeah - whats wrong with using terminator? :p

tabbedex is in the correct location. It came along with the rest of the perls while installing rxvt-unicode-256color, so it must be coming from the repos. Why wanting to use it? well, that bad habit of trying everything, also finding what's those "advanced" features it has to offer compared with the old tabbed.

@wux. a zillion dependencies? LOL. naah, I want to stick to urxvt and tmux. I'm in the process of discovering/learning all the urxvt features and chossing what to use and what not. Same for tmux. I'm still a BBQ noob coming from the full GUI-land. Or in other words, trying to forget old bad habits and re-learning Linux a better way... or something like that.

OK then I got nothing. I've never used tabs in urxvt, and probably never will. tmux does everything I need.

If you want to "learn Linux a better way" forget extensions and just learn the basic functionality of your tools. You may find they do everything you really need. Just my opinion, of course.

^ I second that Pidsley, but of course, it is a free world Snap :)

Can't avoid exploring, folks.

tabbed does a great job and covers my tabbing addtion pretty well. IMHO, tabbing saves windows. it's cleaner and they fit my workflow/habits. Also more than three panes in tmux starts to look like a ratnest. That's when tabs come in handy. Just wanted to know what tabbedex's "advanced tabbing" means. but who cares. tabbed is it.

tmux can also create as many new windows as you need (not just panes, but complete new windows), and you can switch any tmux pane into and out of full-screen mode any time.

I'm not saying you should stop exploring, but that you explore the features of your existing tools (go deeper, not wider.) But it's your system.

once snap has explored the depths of tmux.conf he doesn't need tabbedex or any other "enhancements" anymore. Heck, even GNU screen or byobu can do "tabs" by default :)

Still pretty green on tmux. Too many things to learn at once. I'm kinda overflooded, guys. Want to learn it all; tmux, urvxt, vim, cwm, swm, lemmonbar, wmutils, using funtions, improve my dmenu skills, becoming somewhat comfortable into the framebuffer and dtvm, improve my ssh habits, learn bash scripting, wanna learn python too... Finding the grill is fascinating and overwhelming. It's all new to me. Like discovering a whole new continent in my planet. Bear with me for a while. I'm struggling to get familiar with all this shit ;)

the good thing is: once you know how to tmux, you will be able to multi-task in framebuffer/tty. no tabbedex there ;D

^^ You can steal someone's config from the tmux.conf thread, then learn how to create and delete tmux windows. That's two keybindings; enough to get started and not waste urxvt windows.

Yes, tmux is a useful tool. The basics are, well, pretty basic. That is all I do with it. Its like git, so much power, but I just do the basics. Like having a ferrari, and only using it for commuting.

Anyway, I think the default keybind is c-b, but can be changed, which I did to c-a. For a new window, c-a-c; to split vertical is c-a-v; split horizontal is c-a-h. If you need to log out and back in, tmux attach. You can name your sessions etc, but I never go that far.

Like MB and Kex point out, there are some tmux.conf around. Enjoy!

take it easy Snap. one thing at a time, enjoy it, have fun, break some shit, fix it again, or throw it in the dumpster. you'll learn, just stick around and keep experimenting :)

^ totally tmux is immeasurably useful if you have an uninterrupted session with multiple screens on, I have my server's tmux session nested inside my work tmux's windows.
tmux scrollback search? excellent for finding that apt message a while ago which may or may not have broken the server...
In that mode allows visual copypasting without mouse in the framebuffer (only amongst tmux sessions)

personally find it a little bit pointless in i3wm, for example.

^ less /var/log/apt/history.log

tmux is bloat haha

or take the ones from /usr/share/doc/tmux/examples/

:)

good point :)
better example is my badly crafted mysql queries which I then search.

yeah, I'm at the stage of finding somewhat ergonomic keybindings in urxvt and tmux that don't step every other toes when running programs inside them and are not stolen by the WM. I guess once you are done with it you can use it forever.

take it easy Snap. one thing at a time

Wish I could. I see dazzling flashing lights all around me! LOL.
