Tabs

If you are not familiar with the purpose or use of the configuration dialogs, review the main configuration dialogs topic before continuing.

Tabs:

Tab Size sets the maximum length of the tab label text (in characters).

Tab Icons displays the application's icon in the tab label.

You can position the tab labels with the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right options.

Close Tab Button defines the close button (X) on the tab labels.  You must restart Take Command for this option to take effect.

Windows:

The Font button opens a standard Windows font dialog that lets you select the font, point size, and font style for Take Command tab windows.

Colors lets you select the default foreground and background colors for text in the Take Command tab windows.  (These colors will be overwritten if the application in the tab window sets its own colors.)

Buffer Rows sets the number of rows in the console-mode screen buffer.

Left Alt Key sends the left Alt key to Take Command, so you can use it to invoke the Take Command menu or scroll the window.  (The right Alt key will be passed to the application in the tab window.)

Right Alt Key sends the right Alt key to Take Command, so you can use it to invoke the Take Command menu or scroll the window.  (The left Alt key will be passed to the application in the tab window.)

Left Ctrl Key sends the left Ctrl key to Take Command.  (The right Ctrl key will be passed to the application in the tab window.)

Right Ctrl Key sends the right Ctrl key to Take Command.  (The left Ctrl key will be passed to the application in the tab window.)

COMSPEC:

Set the program you want to start in new tabs.  If no COMSPEC option is set, Take Command will run its default command processor (TCC).

Startup Tabs:

The Startup Tabs specify programs to run in each tab at startup. You can specify an optional title, the command line (the name of the program and any optional arguments), an optional startup directory, and optionally the user context where the tab should run. If you're running Windows Vista or 2008, you can opt to Run as Administrator to start the program with admin privileges. (This option will invoke the Windows UAC dialog).
