Description

A common confusion point is clicking through the completed terminal output tabs at the bottom of the screen and then wanting to run that graph again from the file menu bar at the top of the screen. The problem is that the file menu is linked to the currently open editor tab (not the terminal tab).

The feature here is to link the terminal tabs and editor tabs so that they sync up. This is especially nice when the terminal output is 'full screen' and you can't really see what graph is open in the editor.

Research direction

Start by running GraphEx and inspecting how completed terminal output tabs and editor tabs are created and selected. Trace the file menu's use of the active editor tab, then link terminal-tab selection to the corresponding editor tab; done means selecting a terminal tab visibly opens its graph in the editor so the file menu runs that graph.
