How many tabs do you have open on average? Do you ever have trouble finding tabs with just being able to see the favicon?
- robotamerica 1y agoi typically have 5 tabs open, no more, no less. i always have them in the same order so that i can navigate via alt+1, alt+2, alt+3, etc.. one tab is always my personalised homescreen which has all the main links+software i use in a day. having them in the same order means i don't even need to look at the sidebar to navigate to them, it just helps to see what tab i am focused on sometimes. with glide you can also make keymaps: glide.keymaps.set("normal", "gd", () => openOrFocus("docs.google.com/document", "https://docs.google.com https://docs.google.com"), { description: "Go Docs" }); so i can close a tab quickly in normal mode using: tx. then hit gd to open google docs as an example. i do have a hidden bookmarks bar with a ton of junk and sites i rarely open, but it is there if i need to find something.
- MarsIronPI 1y agoHuh. I always end up with a mini tab explosion every time I do anything intensive like skimming docs or shopping/product comparison. Does that ever happen to you? Or do you just close all the resulting tabs as soon as you're done? Sorry if the questions are a little much; as a tab hoarder I'm always curious when productive people make do with small numbers of tabs.
- robotamerica 1y agono worries about the questions, happy to share. i am pretty good at closing off unused tabs as i don't like the clutter. for comparative work i use split tabs and for document skimming i use reader mode + anytime i feel overwhelmed i will start saving things to pocket to skim or search through later.
