Top Tabs
Switch between the threads you are working on from a row of tabs across the top of the bb window. Every thread you open gets a tab with bb's status glyph, so a thread that is working, needs input, or has unread output shows without the sidebar. Close tabs with × or a middle-click, drag them to reorder, and cycle through them with Ctrl+Tab. Right-click a tab for bb's thread menu plus Close other tabs and Close tabs to the right. Tabs are stored per window on your machine, with no account or external service; requires bb 0.49 or later.
Overview
View sourceWhat you get
- A tab for each thread you open in a window, in the order you opened it. Opening a thread that already has a tab switches to that tab.
- bb's own status glyph on every tab, so a thread that is working, needs input, or has unread output shows without the sidebar.
- A
+button at the end of the strip that opens the New thread screen.
Working with tabs
- Click a tab to switch to its thread.
- Close a tab with its × or a middle-click. Closing the active tab moves you to the tab on its right, or on its left when it was the last one.
- Drag a tab to move it along the strip.
- Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab cycle through the tabs.
- Right-click a tab for bb's thread menu (pin, rename, archive and the rest) plus Close tab, Close other tabs, and Close tabs to the right.
- Archiving or deleting a thread removes its tab.
How it works
The strip sits above bb's sidebar and thread and moves the app down by 40 px. It hides when the window is narrower than 640 px. On first run it opens with the five most recently updated threads.
Each window keeps its own tab list in local storage. The plugin has no server state, needs no account, and sends nothing anywhere.
Requirements
bb 0.49 or later.
