Using Tabs in OS X Terminal

A handy new trick that comes along with 10.5 Leopard is the addition of tabs to terminal just like you’d find in safari.

If you’d like to open a new tab while in terminal just hit CMD - T and a fresh terminal tab will open. You can drag these tabs into any order you like, You can also grab and drag a tab out into it’s own window if needed, if you can’t seem to get this to work, drag the tab up or down from the tab bar, as dragging it left or right seems to just rearrange the tabs left or right. Another nice feature is the ability to apply different window styles to each tab, letting you easily distinguish which tab is which on the fly

Also if you have a bunch of Terminal windows open you can go to Window/Merge All Windows in the menu bar and terminal will place all the windows in one nice and neat tabbed window with all your sessions open in tabs.
