Options to disable `tab-bar-back-button' and > `tab-bar-forward-button' when `tab-bar-history-mode' is on. This will > be similar to what option `tab-bar-close-button-show' is to > `tab-bar-close-button'. The most difficult part is to choose a good option name. Maybe, `tab-bar-history-buttons-show' is not too bad. > 2. Trim spaces of tab bar name. The tab bar name can have additional spaces on the right: > 2.1. When tab bar name name is set explicitly with `tab-bar-rename-tab'; > 2.2. When `tab-bar-tab-hints' is true and `tab-bar-tab-name-function' returns an empty string; Sorry, I don't understand what is the problem. When the user intentionally adds spaces in case 2.1., then why there is a need to trim spaces? > 3. An easier way to add more items to Tab Bar to make it act more like > a general Bar. The following example was shared in Emacs Devel > mailing list on how to add a simple clock to the right of Tab Bar: > ========================================= > (advice-add 'tab-bar-make-keymap-1 :around > (lambda (orig-fun) > (append (funcall orig-fun) > `((display-time menu-item > ,(concat > (propertize " " 'display '(space :align-to (- right 5))) > (format-time-string "%H:%M")) > ignore)))) > '((name . tab-bar-display-time))) > ========================================= Do you propose to add functions that would allow doing this more easily? Maybe using some hooks? > 4. Maybe deprecate `winner-mode' in favor to `tab-bar-history-mode', > since these two modes have similar functions. > Using `tab-bar-history-mode' with only one Tab is like using > `winner-mode'. `winner-mode' should not be deprecated because it's still useful for users who don't use tabs with `tab-bar-mode'. So `winner-mode' works fine when tabs are not used. OTOH, `winner-mode' breaks tabs when used with `tab-bar-mode', so `tab-bar-history-mode' is needed to do the same when tabs are used.
