  • The setting can be changed on a per application basis with
  • ```
  • defaults write -app terminal AppleWindowTabbingMode -string always
  • ```
  • Important: this only works if the application in question is not running. This is a bit tricky if you want to change the behaviour of the terminal, but one can temporarily install another terminal emulator like iTerm, execute the command and then uninstall again.
  • The setting can be changed on a per application basis with
  • ```

  • (replace `terminal` with the name of the app you want to change)
  • **Important:** this only works if the application in question is not running. This is a bit tricky if, like me, you want to change the behaviour of the terminal itself, but one can temporarily install another terminal emulator like iTerm, execute the command and then uninstall again.
