I’m new to Linux; I fled from Windows in the wake of 10-11 ever-accelerating stream of bullshit.

Anyway, I have major muscle memory for MRU window and tab switching. I use it all the time to switch windows, switch browser tabs, and switch IDE tabs. In Windows, I could also switch Terminal tabs in MRU order, and I miss this in Linux. My distro (Mint) comes with gnome-terminal, which as far as I can tell doesn’t expose MRU switching as an option.

Is there an alternative terminal that does support this? Alternatively, if you use MRU switching in other contexts but not in your terminal, what do you use instead?

    I’ve read your update but try Terminator. You use alt + arrow keys to navigate multiple on screen terminals, create new ones with ctrl+e/o and its my favourite. I highly recommend giving it a try!

      Thanks, I did try Terminator, but it didn’t seem to have the kind of C-Tab MRU tab switching I was after. BTW, it looks like the two I did find also support multi-pane terminals with arrow key navigation. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
