|tabs| +

Tabs are used to be able to view many web pages at the same time.  Each tab
contains exactly one buffer - multiple buffers per tab are not supported.  As a
result many buffer and tab commands are interchangeable.

section:Listing{nbsp}tabs[listing-tabs]

|B| |:tabs| |:ls| |:files| |:buffers|
||:buffers[!]|| +
||B||
________________________________________________________________________________
Show a list of all buffers (=tabs). The special version [c]:buffers![c] opens
the buffer list in a persistent preview window. Call the special version of
this command again to close the window.
________________________________________________________________________________

section:Opening{nbsp}tabs[listing-tabs]

|:tab| +
||:tab {cmd}||
________________________________________________________________________________
Execute {cmd} and tell it to output in a new tab. Works only for commands that
support it, currently:

* [c]:tab help[c]
* [c]:tab prefs[!][c]
* [c]:tab addons[c]
* [c]:tab downloads[c]
________________________________________________________________________________

//TODO: should the tab commands be moved back here?
See help::open[browsing.html#opening] for other ways to open new tabs.

section:Changing{nbsp}tabs[changing-tabs]

|gb| +
||[count]gb||
________________________________________________________________________________
Repeat last [c]:buffer[!][c] command. This is useful to quickly jump between
buffers which have a similar URL or title.
________________________________________________________________________________


|gB| +
||[count]gB||
________________________________________________________________________________
Repeat last [c]:buffer[!][c] command in reverse direction. Just like [m]gb[m]
but in the other direction.
________________________________________________________________________________


|<C-PageDown>| |<C-Tab>| |<C-n>| |gt| +
||[count]gt||
________________________________________________________________________________
Go to the next tab. Cycles to the first tab, when the last is selected. +
Count is supported: [m]3gt[m] goes to the third tab.
________________________________________________________________________________


|<C-PageUp>| |<C-S-Tab>| |<C-p>| |gT| +
||[count]gT||
________________________________________________________________________________
Go {count} pages back. Wraps around from the first tab to the last tab. +
Count is supported: [m]3gT[m] goes three tabs back.
________________________________________________________________________________


|<C-6>| |<C-^>| +
||<C-^>||
________________________________________________________________________________
Select the alternate tab. The alternate tab is the last selected tab. This
provides a quick method of toggling between two tabs.
________________________________________________________________________________


|b| |:b| |:buffer|
||[count]:b[uffer][!] {url|index}|| +
||b||
________________________________________________________________________________
Go to the specified buffer from the buffer list. Argument can be either the
buffer index or the full URL.

If argument is neither a full URL nor an index but uniquely identifies a
buffer, it is selected. With [!] the next buffer matching the argument is
selected, even if it cannot be identified uniquely. Use [m]b[m] as a
shortcut to open this prompt.

If argument is [a]#[a], the alternate buffer will be selected (see [m]<C-6>[m]).

||:tabm[ove] [N]|| +
||:tabm[ove][!] +N | -N|| +
________________________________________________________________________________
Move the current tab after tab N. When N is 0 the current tab is made the
first one. Without N the current tab is made the last one. N can also be
prefixed with "+" or "-" to indicate a relative movement. If [!] is
specified the movement wraps around the start or end of the tab list.
________________________________________________________________________________


|:bn| |:bnext| |:tn| |:tnext| |:tabn| |:tabnext|
||:[count]tabn[ext] [count]|| +
||:[count]tn[ext] [count]|| +

||:[count]bd[elete][!] [arg]|| +
||[count]d||
________________________________________________________________________________
Delete current buffer (=tab). Count is supported, [c]:2bd[c] removes two tabs
and the one to the right is selected. Afterwards, the tab to the right of the 
deleted one is selected.

When used with [arg], remove all tabs which contain [arg] in the hostname.
[!] forces this command to also search for [arg] in the full URL and also
the title of the tab. Use with care.
________________________________________________________________________________


|D|
||[count]D||
________________________________________________________________________________
Like [m]d[m] but selects the tab to the left of the deleted tab.

|u| |:u| |:undo|
||:[count]u[ndo][!] [url]|| +
||[count]u||

Undo closing of a tab. If a count is given, don't close the last but the

|:undoa| |:undoall| +
||:undoa[ll]||
________________________________________________________________________________
Undo closing of all closed tabs. Firefox stores up to 10 closed tabs, even
