Terminal: Feature Request - Enable access to all the open tabs on the menu bar (alternative to ctrl+shift+tab)

[dash-mode]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Enable scrolling on the menu bar to be able to access all the open tabs in the windows terminal.

At the moment, after I open (say) 5 new tabs in the terminal, I am unable to access the tabs after the first few open tabs without closing a few tabs (so that the tab that I am looking for is available on the menu bar)

I have 5 tabs open, but, as you can see in the image, I can only access three tabs through the menu bar.

I am aware that one can change tabs using ctrl+shift+tab. But I feel this would be an integral feature, as it is a basic option available in most applications.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

To add an option of showing all the open tabs when the drop down button is clicked. Right now, it shows all the profiles available.

Details

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18917.1000]

You can scroll the tabs with the mouse:

You might need to resize the window once first - we're using a VERY early prelease version of the TabControl.

@cinnamon-msft is working on a spec for how tabs should be sized, and the various different settings to control them.

This looks to me like it could be a dupe of either of: #857 #597

I am unable to scroll with trackpad. But it might be an issue on my laptop only.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this on my laptop?

[zadjii-msft]

I believe that's #444. Again, it's a _very_ early prerelease of the tab control, and there'll be lots of improvements in this space soon^tm

Technically you can scroll it with a trackpad, though you have to swipe the pad from up to down to simulate mouse scroll. I know that super ultra counter intuitive 🤣

[dash-mode]

Oh you are right. Can it be changed in the settings?

[zadjii-msft]

@dash-mode not currently, I'm presuming this is a bug in the tab control implementation. @teaP can call me out though if this is expected behavior

[teaP]

That's a little odd since there is support for < and > scroll buttons in tabview right now. Terminal may be able to update their version and get better behavior. If that doesn't work let me know!

[dash-mode]

Could someone tell me where I can seethe tab control implementation in the project folder?

[DHowett-MSFT]

@dash-mode you can find the TabView implementation in the Microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml repo here. Be wary, @teaP is actively working on it and it's got a spec review going on here.
If you've got input on features the tab control needs to support please feel free to weigh in on the spec. No promises that it'll get them for version 1, though.
