     This patch is necessary to use the patch hidetabs.
     1.	  Key Release: https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/patches/keyrelease/
     2.	  patch -p1 < tabbed-keyrelease-20191216-b5f9ec6.diff

   hidetabs
     This patch hides tabs, and will only show them as needed for any tab
     action.
     1.	  hidetabs: https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/patches/hidetabs/
     2.	  patch -p1 < tabbed-hidetabs-0.9.diff
     This patch can conflict with some programs.  Eg.: on surf, the keybinding
     Ctrl-m is effectively disabled and the style can not be toggled.

OPTIONS
     Command line options

     Ctrl-Shift-[j|k]
		: move selected tab to the left/right.
     -c		: close tabbed when the last tab is closed.
     -p[s{+-}]N : position for new tabs. s implies a relative position to the
		current tab.
		  +- specify positions from the beginning/end respectively.
     -rN	: replace arg N with window id instead of sending it at the
		end.
     -d		: detach tabbed from terminal and print window id to stdout.

KEYBINDINGS
     Ctrl-Shift-Return : new tab
     Ctrl-Shift-h      : previous tab
     Ctrl-Shift-l      : next tab
     Ctrl-`	       : open dmenu to open a new tab or filter existing tabs.
     Ctrl-q	       : close tab.
     Ctrl-[N]	       : go to tab N (0-9).
     F11	       : fullscreen.

EXAMPLES
     Some programs have options to embed the window into another program.

     surf    : -e
     zathura : -e
     urxvt   : -embed
     st	     : -w
     The -r option can be used for these cases if the window id needs to be
     sent in a different position.

   surf
     Run surf opening new tabs after the current tab and closes tabbed after
     closing the last tab.
	   tabbed -ps1 -c surf -e
     Same example disabling scrollbars to show the use of -r.
	   tabbed -ps1 -c -r2 surf -e '' -b

CAVEATS
   keybindings
     Ctrl-Shift-[j|k]
     : conflicts with surf zoom.

TODO
     - Translate to Spanish.
     - See if there is a way to open background tabs.
