From @srv-code in #3386:

Tab switcher pop-up like in other editor applications (e.g. in Visual Studio Code editor when pressed Ctrl+TAB).

It's quite impossible for me to grab a screenshot of this in action, but it's a little dialog that appears with each of the tab titles in it, and lets you up/down arrow through them.

This kinda reminds me of the "window switcher" (not sure if that's the correct name) in tmux: (on the right)

which lets you not only switch tabs, but directly to a child pane, and can even give you a preview (when the window is big enough)

Visual Studio Code screenshot:

I grabbed it using the delayed snip feature of the Snip and Sketch app, but the old Snipping tool can do it too:

This was mentioned as part of #973, should we track it separately?

@jantari thanks for the screenshots <3

Honestly maybe? I'm not sure that #973 necessitates a UI.

IMO, this UI could be used in both MRU tab/pane switching order, but also in in-order (left/right) switching order. If we determine that MRU switching order is impossible w/o this dialog, then sure lets collapse the threads, but for now they seem like reasonable separate requests.

Hey so I was crawling through the backlog, and I think I came across a duplicate of this suggestion:

Feature Request: An advanced tab switcher #1502

I'm gonna move our screenshots and discussion to that thread. Thanks!
