cond: Too many visible tabs about awesome-tab

@AmaiKinono Any idea?

I have no access to my PC currently, but I think I know the reason. When awesome-tab-ace-keys is set, a setter function is run to update a series of variables, you may want looking into the code. To achieve this, you have to use one of these ways:

• Set it before requiring awesome-tab.
• Use customize-set-variables, it detects the setter function and run it.
• Copy the general-setq macro from general.el. The explanation is here. It also runs the setter but is way faster than customize-set-variables. I suggest you do this. I basically use this macro whenever I want to set customizable variables, and get rid of most similar problems.

I do think we should mention this problem in README. I'll do it tomorrow.

PS: Just to be curious, you have a really big screen to put more than 16 tabs? That sounds so big to me since my screen can only handle 9 tabs 🤣

customize-set-variables not works well with setter function

[AmaiKinono]

Sorry I misspelled it. It's customize-set-variable. You need to do this:

(customize-set-variable 'awesome-tab-ace-keys '(?j ?k ?h ?g ?d ?f))

And I tried and find that setq before requiring does not work, but general-setq works. So you can choose one of the latter 2 ways.

If you still have troubles, please show us exactly what you put in your configuration, ideally use emacs -Q to test, and we'll look into it.

Thanks for report.

@manateelazycat I don't think put h and g in the default value is a good idea. I use a laptop all the time so maybe I don't have a concept of how many tags can a normal screen have. But even it's needed to deal with that many tabs, add l and s is better than h and g. Since with ace sequences like jh or fg, you have to use single finger twice, but with l and s, you never need to move your hand.

可以改成 l 或者 s, 我不想默认 ace-jump 就报错，你提交一个新的 PR 来改进这个问题吧。
