Is it possible to merge multiple gnome-terminal windows into a single tabbed view? [duplicate]

  • 772

I had 2 tabs open in gnome-terminal and I detached them by dragging the tab away. Now I have 2 gnome-terminal tabs with my work present, and I would like to clean up my desktop clutter - is there a way to merge them back into a single view?

    There may be another, easier way to do this. But what I've found to work, is to activate the tab-bar in both terminal windows by pressing

    ctrl + shift + t

    and dragging the proper tab into one of the gnome-terminal windows. Then close the empty tabs until you are left with a single view.

    Illustration

    Drag the tab into the other windows tab-group Drag 1 tab into the other window

    Once you have 3 open terminal tabs in a single view, close the extra, blank, terminal tab/window and you have achieved the desired result. Merged terminal view
