Using Vandle
One page per kind of tab, and one for each idea that runs through all of them. In Vandle, F1 opens the page for the tab you are in - in a terminal, Ctrl+F1.
Getting around
Keyboard
Every key Vandle listens to, which keys stay with your terminal, and how to change them.Tab switcher
Jump to any open tab, or straight into one pane of a layout, without the mouse.Layouts and splits
Put tabs side by side, move between the panes with the keyboard and keep a layout for later.
