Short version:

* simpleTabbed / simpleTabbedAlways uses defaults and adds a top tab bar

* simpleTabbedBottom / simpleTabbedBottomAlways puts the bar at the bottom

The distinction between simpleTabbed[Bottom] and simpleTabbed[Bottom]Always is that in the non-always variants if there is only one window, then there is no tabbar, whereas the Always option will have one (but not if there are no windows, so the name isn't _quite_ correct). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

What if, for example, I want all windows of firefox on a specific workspace to tab together automatically, but no other tabs on that workspace?

There is no way of saying "tab all windows of a certain type" without using a sub-layout (such that Firefox windows take up one part of a screen, and other windows take up another part); tabbing is an all-or-nothing affair.

I guess I can see how to "add tabs to a layout" but I'm not sure what that actually means.

This means that you can add a tabbar to a Grid layout or something. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Thanks, all. I'll look into it. On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 4:32 AM, Wirt Wolff wrote:

Take a look at XMonad.Layout.ComboP -- as I recall that's one of the simplest to set up combination (sub layout) setups. It arranges windows using properties of the window similar to manageHooks. This seems like what you're asking for: e.g. className "Firefox" goes to left layout which is tabbed, other windows go to right layout which is Foo. -- wmw
