Tile and manage Tabby's tabs and windows.
Open Tabby, go to Settings, Plugins, search for mosaic and install it. Restart Tabby when prompted.
- Tile the open tabs of a window into a single split: grid, columns, rows or master-stack.
- Per-pane title bar with quick actions (maximize, split, untile, move to a new window, close). Shown always, on hover or off, with a configurable animation. The bar pushes the terminal down instead of covering it.
- Two toolbar buttons that open a layout picker, one for the tabs of the current window and one for all open windows.
- Untile a single pane back into its own tab, or untile a whole window at once.
- Move a tab, or a single pane, into its own window. Local shells keep running by reattaching to the same PTY.
- Window management: tile, cascade, switch between, close the others, or gather every window's tabs into the current one. On the active monitor or spread across all of them.
- Open every profile in a group at once, tiled together.
- Re-tile a window as its tabs are opened and closed, and re-tile all windows when a new one opens (both optional).
- Restore all windows with their tabs, split layout and position on the next start.
The actions are reachable from:
- The toolbar (a tabs button and a windows button, each opening a layout picker).
- The tab context menu.
- The command palette.
- Hotkeys, unbound by default. Assign them under Settings, Hotkeys.
Under Settings, Mosaic:
- Default layout used when tiling tabs and windows.
- Re-tile on tab open/close for the active window.
- Tile windows when a new one opens.
- Tile windows across all monitors instead of only the active one.
- Tile title bars: on hover, always or off, and their animation duration.
- Restore windows on startup.
- Write a debug log to
tabby-mosaic-debug.login your home folder, for diagnosing window management.
- Moving a tab or pane keeps a local shell alive by handing its PTY to the new window. Remote sessions (SSH and similar) reconnect and restore their scrollback.
- A full quit stops every shell process. A restored window comes back with its tabs, layout, position and scrollback, and starts fresh processes.
- Window management relies on the Electron desktop app. It has no effect in the web build.
yarn install
yarn build # produces dist/index.js
yarn watch # rebuild on change
