urxvt_frame

urxvt_frame is a simple tab container for rxvt-unicode. It runs rxvt-unicode in a GtkNotebook widget to give a rudimentary tabbed terminal emulator. rxvt-unicode does have built-in tab support, but in a slightly unconventional form.

urxvt_frame is written in the Vala programming language. Every few years I might tweak it just enough to compile with a newer Vala compiler. Maybe you can get it to work, too.

Requirements

  • rxvt-unicode
  • Vala compiler
  • GTK+2
  • pgrep

Compiling

With valac in your $PATH, run:

make

Configuration

The configuration file is located at ~/.config/urxvt_frame/urxvt_frame.conf. See the file urxvt_frame.conf.sample for details.

Usage

urxvt_frame [-e command [ args ]]

Keys

  • Ctrl-Shift-N - new window
  • Ctrl-Shift-T - new tab
  • Ctrl-PageUp - previous tab
  • Ctrl-PageDown - next tab
  • Shift-Left - previous tab
  • Shift-Right - next tab
  • Shift-Down - new tab
  • Ctrl-Shift-Left - reorder tab
  • Ctrl-Shift-Right - reorder tab
  • Ctrl-Shift-PageUp - reorder tab
  • Ctrl-Shift-PageDown - reorder tab
  • Alt-0 .. Alt-9 - go to tab N
  • Pause - synthetic Shift-Insert key

With the pause_paste configuration option enabled, the Pause key sends a synthetic Shift-Insert key to rxvt-unicode, for slightly easier text pasting. This is rather hacky and may not work.

You can reorder the tabs by dragging them with a mouse.
