Description

This layer adds support for tabs. Implementation is done using Centaur Tabs.

Features:

• Sets up tabs using Centaur tabs as backend
• Optionally auto hide tabs after delay

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add tabs to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Configuration

Selected tab bar

To display a bar in the given direction to the selected tab, set tabs-highlight-current-tab to one of left (default), under, over.

For example,

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '(tabs :variables tabs-highlight-current-tab 'left))

Note that this has no effect when Emacs is running in daemon mode.

Hide tabs after a delay

You can set hooks for buffers in which it isn't desired to have tabs by customizing centaur-tabs-hide-tabs-hooks.

Alternatively you can set tabs-auto-hide to t to auto hide tabs after some delay tabs-auto-hide-delay via the :variables keyword in your .spacemacs:

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
                '(tabs :variables
                       tabs-auto-hide t
                       tabs-auto-hide-delay 3))
