Scripts

1. tabbed-slime: use vim-slime with tabbed. Move tabbed-slime to your $PATH and add the following code into your ~/.vimrc:

let g:slime_target = "x11"
function SlimeOverrideConfig()
    let b:slime_config = {"window_id": ""}
    let b:slime_config["window_id"] = system("tabbed-slime")
endfunction

2. tabbedize: make non-tabbed window tabbed.

Configuration

Rofi compatibility

tabbed-hjc use dmenu by default. If you want to use rofi, you can modify config.def.h (or config.h) by either

1. Replacing dmenu to rofi, with the corresponding arguments. The arguments I use for dmenu is -i for case insensitivity, -l for vertical prompt, and -p for prompt name, or
2. Simply replacing dmenu as rofi -dmenu, and leave all the other arguments as it.
