I've tried several of the new commands on a Linux tty, including tab-bar-mode, and C-x 6 b. Although they didn't throw any errors, none of them appeared to do anything. Is the new mode intended to work on a tty? [ .... ] > Keybindings for the tab-bar: > C-TAB - switches to the next frame tab; > S-C-TAB - switches to the previous frame tab.
