Currently you can drag tabs from one window to another. (This does not work that well when there is only one tab in a window, because in that case the tabs are not drawn: then you have to create a new tab, you get to see the tabs, and then drag the tab you want to reattach to the window you want it in---then you can kill the dummy tab)

I can't think of UI to reattach a tab...

If we show tabs all the time, as some other bug requests, this of course works nicely.

This could be done in the menus like epiphany used to do.

Tabs
----
Move tab left
...
----
Detach tab
Move tab to... > joe@sugar:~/music/foobar (4 tabs, workspace 1)
----             root@honey:/usr/local (1 tab, workspace 2)
                 ...

A year has passed.

Can we just show tabs all the time and don't stretch the existing tabs to fill the whole window? It would also make them somewhat more discoverable (either by adding a button to create a new tab on the right side or by allowing users to double click in the tab space to create a new tab).

Apple's terminal app does that IIRC.

It would also remove the annoying window jumping when creating the second tab.

Why is this still in UNCONFIRMED state ?

Because most of us don't care about the confirmed vs UNCONFIRMed status of a feature request that makes sense on first reading...

After recompiling to always show tabs, even if it does stretch the width of the terminal, it's a much nicer experience to be able to drag and drop the tab back onto another terminal window.

blithesomeness.
