Can the order of Byobu tabs be rearranged?
Only with tmux backend:
Ctrl + Shift + F3 move window left
Ctrl + Shift + F4 move window right
You can only move one step at a time but the process is quite intuitive and fast.
While Byobu doesn't have a hotkey for this, it's possible to move windows using the underlying Tmux functionality. See the manpage:
move-window [-ardk] [-s src-window] [-t dst-window] (alias: movew) This is similar to link-window, except the window at src-window is moved to dst-window. With -r, all windows in the session are renumbered in sequential order, respecting the base-index option.
Full disclosure: I'm the author and maintainer of Byobu.
I have F12 set as the escape-sequence, and this works for me for setting the number of the current tab, to set the order of the tabs in Byobu:
- Press F12
- Press .
- Type the new number for the tab, and press ENTER
