Suckless' tabbed integration with BSPWM. This configuration supports joining any two neighbouring windows into a new tabbed, removing windows from tabbed and when last window is from tabbed removed then tabbed instance is closed. This slightly modified `tabc.sh` allows to omit id of the removed window (the current one is removed by default).

sxhkdrc

# Remove current tab from tabbed
super + mod1 + t; r
        tabc.sh $(bspc query -N -n focused) remove

# At given direction: join two windows into a new tabbed or add window to an existing tabbed
super + mod1 + t; {Left,Down,Up,Right}
        tabc.sh $(bspc query -N -n {west,south,north,east}) add $(bspc query -N -n focused)

        { MODKEY|Mod1Mask,     XK_Return, spawn,       { 0 } },

        { MODKEY|Mod1Mask,           XK_Next,  rotate,  { .i = +1 } },
        { MODKEY|Mod1Mask,           XK_Prior, rotate,  { .i = -1 } },
        { MODKEY|Mod1Mask|ShiftMask, XK_Prior, movetab, { .i = -1 } },

I do not understand the purpose of tabbed_slash_config.h, I could imagine placing it into the source code and do make install and somehow something would be added/facilitated, but that's all.

Do I need to modify the make file?

Could you explain ?

Sorry maybe I should explain it better. It's tabbed/config.h (gist file names can't contain /, that's why you see _slash_).
So you should put or rather replace part of config.h in tabbed's source code. Tabbed follows suckless philosophy and to change it's configuration you have to edit and recompile code.

No.

Thank you! Sorry I deleted my comment, I noticed this isn't actually the upstream so I assume tabc.sh is under whatever license jpentland chooses (assuming there is license and the license wants derivatives to share alike).
