WezTerm has emulated tabs, not OS-native tabs. Some people will find that to be enough to suit their needs. Others will want 'real tabs'.

For example, I can select a tab in Ghostty, pull it out into its own window, and then stick it into another window. This doesn't work in WezTerm, nor can you drag them around to rearrange them (keyboard shortcuts allow this however).

Thanks!

Right, I was admittedly too lazy to dig far enough with wezterm it appears. Was looking for the button to click I guess.

I just tried, "tmux bind -n S-Left prev"... works. Thank you, good idea. I now have 'S-Up switch-client -n' and 'S-Down last'

I am a happy konsole user. I have bookmarked all the tabs relevant to my project, in a folder. As soon as I start konsole, I open the folder in tabs.

Then as a ritual (and a bit of OCD), I quickly cycle through all the tabs with Shift-Right Arrow once.

Try binding the tmux leader key to '`' (grave accent). This changed my life!

Konsole is super solid. Just Works.

As a longtime KDE fan I've used Konsole for years and it is seriously underrated. However, after I discovered Kitty a few months ago, I fully converted and cannot be happier. You can also move between tabs using keyboard shortcuts as well as move the tabs themselves. What I like about Kitty more is its straightforward text file based approach for configuration and absence of any gui elements. Konsole's GUI and configuration menus are overwhelming and I think are in need of a deep redesign.

So does kitty.

I agree with the philosophy of no tabs, but I simultaneously live in an intermediate desktop environment situation where I don't have access to the "right" solution yet. So I'm happy to have terminal emulator tabs, browser tabs and IDE tabs for lack of a more integrated solution.

Interestingly there’s another comment ITT complaining that they need to use a programming language for configuring wezterm :)

As a wezterm user I’ll admit that configuring it was mildly annoying to start, but ended up feeling like an accomplishment. A few years in, it’s just another annoying program I have to re-remember how to use when i update twice a year.

Your data isn't extinguished if you're running wezterm on the server too. It'll reconnect.
