✅ Tab Scroll

Tab Scroll allows you to navigate horizontally through a long list of open tabs in any Wavebox group. Instead of shrinking tabs to tiny slivers, Wavebox keeps them at a readable width and adds a scrollable tab strip.

Enable Tab Scroll

• Open Settings
  • Click the cog icon at the bottom-left corner, or go to the menu bar and select Settings.
• Search for Tab Scrolling
  • In the Settings’ search box, type “Tab Scrolling” to locate the option quickly.
• Toggle On
  • Switch Tab Scrolling to On.
  • No restart is required. Wavebox applies the setting immediately.

Use Tab Scroll

• Open Multiple Tabs
  • In a single Wavebox group, open enough tabs so that they extend beyond your window’s width.
• Scroll Horizontally
  • Hover over the tab bar and use your mouse wheel, trackpad, or Shift+Scroll to move left and right.
  • Look for subtle arrows or fading at the edges to indicate more tabs off-screen.
• Click to Switch Tabs - Continue clicking tabs as usual. Nothing else changes—only the way you navigate overflowed tabs.

Tips & Tricks

• Quick Switch
  • If you have dozens of tabs open, try Wavebox’s Global Search (magnifying glass icon) to jump directly to a tab by name.
• Navigator
  • Use the Navigator (compass icon) for a bird’s-eye view of all open tabs across every group.

Troubleshooting

• Tab Scrolling option missing
  • Ensure you’re on the latest Wavebox version (Tab Scroll was introduced in Wavebox 10.122.18). Update if you don’t see the toggle.
• No scrolling happening
  • Make sure you have enough tabs to exceed your window’s width.
  • Hover your cursor on the tab bar before scrolling.
  • On some systems, hold Shift while scrolling the mouse wheel to go horizontally.
• Don’t want to scroll
  • Turn Tab Scrolling off in Settings to revert to the traditional shrinking tab style.
