Couldn't you just press Alt+Enter again?
(BTW, just in case, Ctrl+Shift+W is the key bind to close any tab, including the settings tab.)

Yea I don't really see how this is different from "I fullscreen'd a terminal tab, and now there's no way to close that tab".

That being said, I'd guess that /dup #5677 would be a viable solution to this issue too.
