Numbered tabs?

Post by *SQUIRE »

Anyone figured out a way to label TC tabs with their sequence number?

I use <CTRL><tab number> and <ALT><Tab number> to jump quickly between tabs and it is NOT EASY to eyeball which tab it might be of the nine allowed per panel. This has irritated me for years now.

Something like a tiny superscript number label on each tab would be ideal.

Add this to your wincmd.ini under the section:

[Shortcuts]

C+1=cm_LeftActivateTab1
C+2=cm_LeftActivateTab2
C+3=cm_LeftActivateTab3
C+4=cm_LeftActivateTab4
C+5=cm_LeftActivateTab5
C+6=cm_LeftActivateTab6
C+7=cm_LeftActivateTab7
C+8=cm_LeftActivateTab8
C+9=cm_LeftActivateTab9
A+1=cm_RightActivateTab1
A+2=cm_RightActivateTab2
A+3=cm_RightActivateTab3
A+4=cm_RightActivateTab4
A+5=cm_RightActivateTab5
A+6=cm_RightActivateTab6
A+7=cm_RightActivateTab7
A+8=cm_RightActivateTab8
A+9=cm_RightActivateTab9

Then <CTRL><1-9> selects in left panel, <ALT><1-9> selects in right.

You will have to define these hotkeys yourself in Configuration - Options - Misc, e.g.
Ctrl+1 -> cm_SrcActivateTab1
Ctrl+2 -> cm_SrcActivateTab2
...
Ctrl+9 -> cm_SrcActivateTab9

Not exactly what is requested, but...
It is easy to learn my script to display the tab number.

I still like this idea so I would use this if added, it is sometimes hard to distinguish which tab to activate so adding numbers to the "first 10" (1-2...0) would be a welcome option to have.
