        @aderryb Use the keyboard shortcut to change the other tab.

          @leocg what do you mean? I'm trying to select one of those tabs and then pull it up and go to that tab- to switch from that view of all my tabs to the tab page i want.

            @aderryb You use the keyboard shortcut to cycle through tabs until the one you want.

              @leocg but once I have landed on the tab I want, how do I make it jump show that tab window? If I do nothing then it just sits there in that window. I can't select a tab to then open that tab/ jump to that tab window.

                @aderryb You release the key, like you usually do with any keyboard shortcut.

                  @leocg I tried doing that, but it just stays in that window that I have screenshotted when i released the button, it doesn't jump to that tab. Is there a way i can attach a screen recording here to show?

                    @aderryb Nope, you would need to store it somewhere else and post the link here

                          @aderryb Here the command would be Ctrl Tab and when I release Ctrl, it goes to the selected tab.
