Tabs are how you keep multiple sessions side by side. They live across the top of the window and behave like browser tabs: drag to reorder, right-click for actions, scroll horizontally when there are too many to fit.Documentation Index

What can be in a tab
A tab in Rumus isn’t always a shell. It can be:- A local terminal — your default shell, or any other profile.
- A remote terminal — an SSH session opened from a saved host.
- A workspace — a special tab type that holds a canvas full of cards.
- Settings, chat history, and a few other built-in views.
Open a new tab
Two ways:- Click the + button in the tab bar to open a tab with your default profile.
- Click the chevron next to the + to choose a specific shell profile, a saved remote host, or Remote Connection to manage hosts.
Tab context menu
Right-click any tab for these actions:| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| New tab | Open a new tab with your default profile |
| Duplicate tab | Open a new tab using the same profile / host as the current one |
| Rename tab | Give the tab a custom label |
| Close other tabs | Close every tab except this one |
| Close tabs to the right | Close every tab to the right of this one |
| Close all tabs | Close every tab |
When you have many tabs open
If your tabs don’t fit in the title bar, Rumus shows scroll controls on either side of the tab list — click them, or use a horizontal scroll gesture, to reach tabs further along.Reorder, drag, and detach
- Drag a tab left or right to reorder it.
- Drag a tab beyond the title bar to detach it into its own window (when supported by your platform window manager).
Closing tabs
- Click the × on the tab — or use the keyboard shortcut bound to Close tab in Settings → Keyboard.
- Middle-click also closes a tab on most platforms.
- Closing the last remaining tab closes the window.
Per-tab styling cues
Tabs visually pick up styling from the underlying session:- Saved hosts can carry a tab color (set per-host in Settings → Vaults → Hosts) — a colored stripe on the tab makes prod / staging / dev easy to tell apart at a glance.
- Workspaces show a workspace icon and color.
