Introduction

Tabbar ruler is an emacs package that allows both the tabbar and the ruler to be used together. In addition it allows auto-hiding of the menu-bar and tool-bar.

Tabbar appearance based on reverse engineering Aquaemacs code and changing to my preferences, and Emacs Wiki.

Tabbar/Ruler integration is new. Tabbar should be active on mouse move. Ruler should be active on self-insert commands.

Also allows auto-hiding of toolbar and menu.

To use this, put the library in your load path and use

(setq tabbar-ruler-global-tabbar t) ; If you want tabbar
(setq tabbar-ruler-global-ruler t) ; if you want a global ruler
(setq tabbar-ruler-popup-menu t) ; If you want a popup menu.
(setq tabbar-ruler-popup-toolbar t) ; If you want a popup toolbar
(setq tabbar-ruler-popup-scrollbar t) ; If you want to only show the
                                      ; scroll bar when your mouse is moving.
(require 'tabbar-ruler)

Changing how tabbar groups files/buffers

The default behavior for tabbar-ruler is to group the tabs by frame. You can change this back to the old-behavior by:

(tabbar-ruler-group-buffer-groups)

or by issuing the following code:

(setq tabbar-buffer-groups-function 'tabbar-buffer-groups)

In addition, you can also group by projectile project easily by:

(tabbar-ruler-group-by-projectile-project)

Adding key-bindings to tabbar-ruler

You can add key-bindings to change the current tab. The easiest way to add the bindings is to add a key like:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c t") 'tabbar-ruler-move)

After that, all you would need to press is Control+c t and then the arrow keys will allow you to change the buffer quite easily. To exit the buffer movement you can press enter or space.

Known issues

the left arrow is text instead of an image.

27-Mar-2013

Fixed typo to fix issue #2. (Matthew L. Fidler)

27-Mar-2013

Attempt to fix issue #2. Whenever the color is not a string, assume that it should be transparent. I’m unsure if the mac osx puts the translated color to a string. However, it seems that the undefined should be the same as transparent. Therefore, this fix should work… (Matthew L. Fidler)
