TabbySpaces - visual workspace editor for Tabby terminal

#terminal #cli #opensource #showdev

If you use Tabby with split layouts, you probably edit YAML by hand every time you want a new workspace. I got tired of that.

TabbySpaces lets you design workspaces visually:

  • Split panes with a click
  • Set profile, cwd, startup command per pane
  • Launch from toolbar

Built entirely with Claude Code (Opus 4.5). ~6 hours across 20 sessions, ~1700 lines of Angular/TypeScript. No npm dependency hell, no Angular config nightmares - it just worked.

I think good context files did half the work. Detailed CLAUDE.md with Tabby plugin patterns, coding preferences and project structure. I have a small Go tool that manages my context files, so my Claude Code workflow is pretty smooth at this point.

Install from Tabby's plugin manager (search "tabbyspaces") or:

  npm install tabby-tabbyspaces
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or clone/fork GitHub repo and manually install it -this will work 100% :)

If you have problems with installation, leave a comment/issue
