Questions tagged [tabbar]

Tabbar is a minor mode that displays a tab bar at the top, similar to the idea of web browser’s tabs.

Tabbar is available from the MELPA repository. There is some documentation on the Emacs Wiki, and also in the source file itself: use M-x find-library tabbar.el from Emacs (after you have installed it!).
