#### Floating X11 tab header bar grouping unrelated windows into tabbed stacks

A Linux X11 alternative to TidyTabs. Independent open-source project, not
affiliated with or endorsed by Nurgo Software. Window enumeration, grouping,
and tab header docking operate on X11/XWayland client windows; Wayland-native
windows cannot be controlled externally by X11 utilities.

FEATURES
• Tab Groups & Live X11 Window Docker: select 2 or more open X11 windows to
merge into a unified tabbed stack with a floating slim TabHeaderStrip bar
docked immediately above the active window. Click any tab to raise and map
it to the shared geometry while iconifying sibling windows, drag the strip
to move the stack, reorder tabs, and detach or restore all windows cleanly.
• Auto-Tabbing WM\_CLASS Rules & Presets: define wildcard WM\_CLASS and title
rules to auto-group matching newly opened windows (such as terminals or
editors), customize strip placement (Left, Center, Right, or Full Width),
and manage active groups.
• Tab Bar Theme & Global Hotkeys: customize accent colors, height, and opacity
with live preview, bind global X11 hotkeys (Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left/X) via
XGrabKey, view X11/Wayland diagnostics, and toggle English / Vietnamese UI.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install Window Tab Docker

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```
