Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently, drop-down at the end of tab row is displaying configured profiles and settings/feedback/about commands. It would be nice if it would have additional section at the top listing currently opened tabs, to ease switching/locating them.

Research direction

Start by locating the tab-row arrow-down menu and its existing profile, settings, feedback, and about command entries. Trace how currently opened tabs or windows are represented, then determine where a top section could be added without changing the existing commands. Done means the menu lists open tabs or windows and allows switching to them while preserving the current entries.
