Tabs Options

If you are not familiar with the purpose or use of the configuration dialogs, review the main configuration dialogs topic before continuing. If you need more details about a particular option, see the Initialization directive related to that option.

Top puts the tabs on the top of the window, and Bottom puts them at the bottom of the window.

Multiple Tab Rows sets the MultiLineTabs directive (tabs at the top or the bottom of the display window).

Tab Icons sets the TabIcons directive (displaying the application's icon in the tab label).

Wrap Scroll Keys sets the ScrollWrap directive (the Alt-Left and Alt-Right keys wrap around after reaching the beginning or the end of the tabs).

If LeftAltKey is set, then only the left Alt key + the cursor keys will switch tabs or scroll the window. (The right Alt key will be passed to the console application.)

If RightAltKey is set, then only the right Alt key + the cursor keys will switch tabs or scroll the window. (The left Alt key will be passed to the console application.)

Tab Size sets the TabSize directive (the maximum length of the tab label text).

The Font button opens a standard Windows font dialog that lets you select the font, point size, and font style for the TCI tab labels. Font information is stored in a separate section in TCI.INI; therefore, the font option does not have a corresponding directive.

Default App field sets the COMSPEC directive to specify the program you want to start in new tabs. If the COMSPEC directive isn't specified, TCI uses the value of the COMSPEC environment variable.

The Startup Tabs specify programs to run in each tab at startup. You can specify an optional title, the command line, an optional startup directory, and optionally the user context where the tab should run.
