Hello all,
I'm using tab-bar-mode with exwm so each monitor corresponds to a
separate frame and therefore has its own set of tabs.
I can switch between tabs with tab-bar-select-tab-by-name within a given
frame/monitor but I would love to be able to switch to a tab on any
monitor regardless of which frame is active. Is this possible?
Thank you,
eric

It should be possible but I don't see anything already existing
providing that functionality: tab-bar.el deals only with frame-local
tabs I think. You'd have to write your own function, looping over
frames, gathering tab names for each frame and adding them to the
completion list. Choosing a tab would involve checking the frame of
the selected tab and selecting that frame (if different), before
selecting the tab.

Yeah, I did look ahead of asking here but I also did not find anything.
Okay, a programming task it is. I may be some time... :-)
Thank you,
