TabStack: An alternative take on tab switching with live preview

#1

After being reminded of the forum in my issues page, I would like to use this opportunity to announce the 1.3.0 release of my latest package: TabStack.

Its purpose is to provide an alternative way for switching to a recently used tab with an MRU-based stack, support for multi-sheet selection, and a live visualization of this “stack” in form of a quick panel. Just hold the Ctrl key and hit Tab or Shift+Tab until you arrived at the file you want to switch to – then release Ctrl. I will let a short clip do the rest of the talking.

You will find the UX to be similar to those of web browsers or Windows itself.

The latest release brings native support for Wayland, which requires a small workaround because of its secure design. You can find more details in the README or when you try to use it on Wayland for the first time.

You can install the package via Package Control under the name “TabStack” and in GitHub: https://github.com/SublimeText/TabStack. It requires an ST build of 4100 or higher (which is every stable ST4 release).
