    <desc>Enable, add, remove and reorder <app>Terminal</app> tabs.</desc>

  </info>

  <title>Use tabs</title>

  
The tab bar is shown at the top a <app>Terminal</app> window that has

  multiple tabs open (it looks like a row of buttons). Click on a tab to switch

  to it. You can open multiple tabs to manage your work in <app>Terminal</app>.

  This will allow you to multi-task with activities such as running programs,

  browsing directories and editing text files in a single <app>Terminal</app>

  window.

  <section id="add-tab">

    <title>Open a new tab</title>

    
To open a new tab inside your current <app>Terminal</app> window:

    <steps>

      <item>

        
Press

        <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Ctrl</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.

      </item>

    </steps>

  </section>

  <section id="rename-tab">

    <title>Rename a tab</title>

    
Each tab has an automatically assigned title. You can rename the tabs

    individually:

    <steps>

      <item>

        
Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Terminal</gui>

        <gui style="menuitem">Set Title…</gui></guiseq>.

      </item>

      <item>

        
Enter the desired <gui>Title</gui> that you wish to use for the tab.

        This will overwrite any titles that would be set by terminal commands.

        <note>

          
It is not possible to set back the automatically set title once it

          has been set for a tab. To see the title, you need to allow terminal

          command titles to be shown in the <gui style="menuitem">Profile 

          Preferences</gui>.

        </note>

      </item>

      <item>

        
Click <gui style="button">OK</gui>.

      </item>

    </steps>

  </section>-->

  <section id="close-tab">

    <title>Remove a tab</title>

    
To close an existing tab inside your current <app>Terminal</app>

    window:

    <steps>

      <item>

        
Select

        <guiseq><gui style="menu">File</gui><gui style="menuitem">Close

        Tab</gui></guiseq>.

      </item>

    </steps>

    
Alternatively, you can click on the <gui style="button">×</gui> in the

    top right corner of the tab or right click on the tab and select

    <gui style="menuitem">Close Terminal</gui>.

  </section>

  <section id="reorder-tab">

To change the ordering of tabs in a window:

    <steps>

      <item>

        
Click and hold the left mouse button on the tab.

      </item>

      <item>

      </item>

      <item>

        
Release the mouse button.

      </item>

    </steps>

    
The tab will be placed in the position closest to where you released the

    tab, immediately beside other open tabs.

    
Alternatively, you can reorder a tab by right clicking on a tab and

    selecting <gui style="menuitem">Move Terminal Left</gui> to move the tab to

    the left or <gui style="menuitem">Move Terminal Right</gui> to move the tab

    to the right. This will reorder the tab position by moving it one place at

    a time.
