I use tabs without using the tab line, which consumes to much space.

I use tabs as provided by elscreen:

And I set `elscreen-display-tab' to make tabs invisible.

I can still switch from one tab to another: in this case, a tab is
really just a window configuration, but switching from one window
configuration to another one without having to store them is quite
handy.
