tab - Opens a new OS X Terminal window in the current directory and runs an optional command in it. If the current directory contains a file `.tabfile` this one is executed instead (see below). Download the latest version from: https://github.com/bartTC/tab Installation: ------------- tab requires Python 3. Currently Mac OS X does not ship with Python 3, but you can easily install it with the original package from: https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/ or if you're already using Homebrew, install it with it: brew install python3 Install tab itseelf with pip: `pip3 install tab-osx`, or if you prefer the manual way copy the `tab` file into your `/usr/local/bin` and make it executable: cp tab /usr/local/bin chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tab Options: -------- (no arguments) Opens a new Terminal tab and changes to the current directory. -n: Window name of the new tab -w: Open a new window instead of a tab -p: Position of the new window on screen in the format x,y (e.g 400,200) -s: Size of the new window in the format w,h (e.g. 400,200) -t: Path to a tabfile to execute. --testsuite: Opens a couple of windows to test and demonstrate capabilities. Example: -------- tab # Opens a new tab tab vim # Opens vim in a new tab tab -w -s 100,100 -p 400,700 vim # Opens vim in a new window at the # specified position and size tab -t ~/Projects/project.tabfile # Open the tabfile Tabfile: -------- You can specify multiple `tab` actions in one file, to quickly open multiple tabs with commands. Tabfile is an INI file, each tab is seperated by a group called either `tab:<n>` or `window:<n>`. You can specify options as 'name:', 'size:', and 'position:'. All other lines are commands which will be executed.
