QTTabBar Updates

Hi, as that's Win 11, maybe there's a thread on Qttabbar on
elevenforum.com

- which supports -yes- Win 11.

I don't use dark mode so can't comment further I'm afraid.

@tarsonis - Trying to look at your screenshot more closely I can't actually recognise it. It appears to be above the explorer address bar.. this is mine- what you show looks nothing like it.

Further, I'm guessing you maybe dragged the image into your post.. it doesn't expand when clicked on.

Here's how to post a screenshot:

-and there's a tutorial if needed.

And this is what the top right of my explorer looks like: (ignore the extra buttons).


It looks as if the light-cloured area is some kind of overlay.

Quick question, is there a way to see all open Tabs? Kind of like a "Tab Viewer", where one could see all the Open QtTabBar Tabs, and they would be grouped by each Window they're in. I often times have many File Explorer Windows Open, with multiple Tabs Open in each, and I hate having duplicate Tabs Open. Or more so, having the same Tab Open in different Windows. Being able to see each Tab Open, maybe in a list, or maybe in a visual grid viewer, I would find it immensely useful.

For an example of what I mean, I use this Web Browser Extension called Tabby. I would like to use a similar feature in QtTabBar.

I'm assuming this feature doesn't exist in QtTabBar. I went through the Options and didn't find anything, but maybe I missed something. Any insights are well welcome. Cheers!

I'm not positive what you need, but you can create groups & that will save a group of tabs. You could have several groups & have different groups of tabs open in different QTTabBar windows. Here's an example:

Indeed, I have just done another search to see if it exists, but to no avail.
However, a plugin or JS script could be created for QTTabBar, which I will do at some point if time allows xD
(anyone else feel free to jump in! :P)

Here's some quick notes I made for what such a JS script would contain.
- reference: Scripting with QTTabBar - QuizoApps

Code:

      - create .js file:
      - function inputbox (search phrase)
      - function gettabs
        - enumerate the tabs until search phrase is found
      - scripting.invokecommand -> setactivetab

I also use quick jump functionality for almost everything (app launch/switch, text editors, coding environments, web browsers, file search, etc), and QTTabBar is one of the most used, but still only one of the few ones missing out xD

Edit: You could extend this functionality to include multiple windows.
If you aren't aware, there is already a tab list functionality in QTTabBar, but only for the current window.
With a script or plugin you could extend it to include tabs from all opened windows, ideally with a search box for the quick jump functionality.

[QUOTE=GaXve;2604347]Thank you @phrab. As you said, it's not quite what I was looking for but I'll definitely check it out.

Maybe you could explain in more detail what you need. I find that QTTabBar has all the features that I need. I can open several windows, each with a set of tabs, which is what I thought you were looking for. If not, maybe you could post exactly what you want. Maybe I should have posted several showing groups of tabs.
