Variable: AdwTabView

const AdwTabView: "AdwTabView"

Defined in: generated/jsx.ts:20173

A dynamic tabbed container.

AdwTabView is a container which shows one child at a time. While it provides keyboard shortcuts for switching between pages, it does not provide a visible tab switcher and relies on external widgets for that, such as TabBar, TabOverview and TabButton.

AdwTabView maintains a TabPage object for each page, which holds additional per-page properties. You can obtain the AdwTabPage for a page with TabView.get_page, and as the return value for TabView.append and other functions for adding children.

AdwTabView only aims to be useful for dynamic tabs in multi-window document-based applications, such as web browsers, file managers, text editors or terminals. It does not aim to replace Gtk.Notebook for use cases such as tabbed dialogs.

As such, it does not support disabling page reordering or detaching.

AdwTabView adds a number of global page switching and reordering shortcuts. The TabView.shortcuts property can be used to manage them.

See TabViewShortcuts for the list of the available shortcuts. All of the shortcuts are enabled by default.

TabView.add_shortcuts and TabView.remove_shortcuts can be used to manage shortcuts in a convenient way, for example:

adw_tab_view_remove_shortcuts (view, ADW_TAB_VIEW_SHORTCUT_CONTROL_HOME |
                                     ADW_TAB_VIEW_SHORTCUT_CONTROL_END);

CSS nodes

AdwTabView has a main CSS node with the name tabview.

Accessibility

AdwTabView uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_TAB_PANEL for the tab pages which are the accessible parent objects of the child widgets.
