Description
Found while perusing mastodon last night.
We should shamelessly copy the "Tab Overview" from GNOME's "Console"[^1]
It's like, Alt+tab, or tab un-zoom
Technical issues:
* We'd have to pre-render each tab & termcontrol
* This would be harder with #997
* Is this a separate... `Page`? that we switch to temporarily, then switch back?
* What happens to the tab row during this?
* Animations are cool but also hard so skip those for a v1
[^1]: Which is different from gnome terminal

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by tracing the existing tab, Page, and termcontrol architecture, including the constraints noted in #997. Done would require a usable Tab Overview view with tabs and terminal controls visible, while omitting animations for the initial version.
