About Tabbed
Tabbed turns ordinary macOS windows into tabs. Hold Command while dragging one window onto another to create a tab group, switch with alt+1 through alt+n, or cycle with alt+tab. Bindings live in ~/.config/tabbed.toml, which is created on first launch. It is for people who want browser-style tabs for apps that only open separate windows.
The Xcode project targets macOS 14.0. The app needs Accessibility permission, granted under System Settings → Privacy & Security. The README tells you to clear the quarantine attribute with xattr before the first launch.
