URxvt Tabbed

URxvt terminals with GTK tabs. Tabs are implemented by embedding URxvt in a GTK notebook container, using pygobject as an interface to GTK. URxvt does provide a rudimentary default GTK tabs implementation using perl, but with limited features (e.g. no tab dragging or tab closing).

Features

• Tab name editing (double click).
• Tab closing, drag & drop.
• Inherits tab titles set by shells.
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts.
