Program that shows in the shell multiple sessions of other shell(tabs)

I found this screenshot of an arch user but i don't remember who he is..

How does this mate do?

I know screen but i think that it can't show also the tabs(and the possibility to create new sessions).

It's the tab-feature of rxvt-unicode. You also want to read about screen (and I want to read your post to the end before posting )

How i can add this feature in urxvt?
I have  to edit the .Xdefaults? (if yes how?)

Thanks

Add this to your Xdefaults:

URxvt.perl-ext-common:  tabbed

The only issues I'm currently having with it is that my cursor wont blink anymore and urxvt randomly disappears from my window list...

Thanks it works but i have another problem: how i can select the various tabs(go to the head and select NEW or 1, 2, 3,...)?

EDIT: I have understood: with mouse.. but if i want to use the keyboard or delete a tab how i can do?

Re: Program that shows in the shell multiple sessions of other shell(tabs)

New tab: shift + arrow down
Go to right/left next tab: shift + arrow right/left
Close tab: just type exit

Or click the buttons, mouse support is enabled on them by default.

By the way, you can also adjust their colors, this are my entries for them:

URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: 9 # Red fg (lines in between)
URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: 0 # Black bg
URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg:    2 # Green letters
URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg:    0 # Black bg

It works here between 0 and 10, the new values are applied if you save the file and open a new urxvt, not to the ones that are already open.

I do in this manner.... Strange but the important is the tab-mode .. Many thanks

Is it possible to not make it show the tabbar at all? Or to put it at the bottom?

Re: Program that shows in the shell multiple sessions of other shell(tabs)

And is it just me, or is screen much faster in making new 'tabs' than urxvt-tabbed?
