wezterm — vertical tabs #
Fork of wezterm/wezterm with a side tab bar (left or right), for high-density tab titles without horizontal scrolling.
Implements the feature requested in wezterm#3537 (based on PR #7574), plus a small layout tweak for the new-tab control on vertical bars.
Tab bar on the left (tab_bar_position = "Left"), full titles, fancy tabs.
Config #
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = wezterm.config_builder()
config.tab_bar_position = 'Left' -- or 'Right', 'Top', 'Bottom'
config.tab_bar_width = '250px' -- only used for Left / Right
return config
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
tab_bar_position |
"Top" · "Bottom" · "Left" · "Right" |
Default "Top". Left/Right force the fancy tab bar. |
tab_bar_width |
e.g. "200px", "250px" |
Width of the side bar; ignored for Top/Bottom. |
tab_bar_at_bottom |
true / false |
Still works when tab_bar_position is left at default "Top". |
