<p>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.</p>

<steps>

<item>

<p>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.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<note>
|
||
<p>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>.</p>
