Add Browser Tabs
showcase github.com --wg-tabs --wg-tabs-close --wg-tabs-add --tabs-default-url google.com --tabs-dynamic-labels --tabs-keep-last
Communicator
For the possibility to use showcase dynamically in scripts, a socket is installed with the flag --com which enables remote control from another process.

Now some commands can be executed from another process (Shell/Terminal/Cmd) to control the showcase.
showcase https://pypi.org/ --com-try
Troubleshooting
Under Linux, the following error may occur during execution:
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: wayland-egl, xcb, vkkhrdisplay, wayland, vnc, linuxfb, offscreen, eglfs, minimal, minimalegl.
Fix it by installing the required packages:
sudo apt-get install -y libxcb-cursor-dev
