Tabs and Windows
-------------------
|kitty| is capable of running multiple programs organized into tabs and
windows. The top level of organization is the *Tab*. Each tab consists
of one or more *windows*. The windows can be arranged in multiple
different layouts, like windows are organized in a tiling window
manager. The keyboard controls (which are all customizable) for tabs and
windows are:

======================== =======================
Additionally, you can define shortcuts in :file:`kitty.conf` to focus neighboring
windows and move windows around (similar to window movement in vim)::
map ctrl+left neighboring_window left
map shift+left move_window right
map ctrl+down neighboring_window down
map shift+down move_window up
...
You can also define a shortcut to switch to the previously active window::
map ctrl+p nth_window -1
``nth_window`` will focus the nth window for positive numbers and the
previously active windows for negative numbers.
.. _detach_window:
You can define shortcuts to detach the current window and
move it to another tab or another OS window::
# moves the window into a new OS window
map ctrl+f2 detach_window
# moves the window into a new Tab
map ctrl+f3 detach_window new-tab
# asks which tab to move the window into
map ctrl+f4 detach_window ask
Similarly, you can detach the current tab, with::
# moves the tab into a new OS window
map ctrl+f2 detach_tab
# asks which OS Window to move the tab into
map ctrl+f4 detach_tab ask
Finally, you can define a shortcut to close all windows in a tab other than
the currently active window::
map f9 close_other_windows_in_tab
