Keep some smaller number of tabs displayed. The leftmost is either the
global "first" tab, or a movement tab. The rightmost is either the
global "last" or a movement tab.
Using CAPS to indicate active, i.e. tab contents displayed, my ASCII UI
design starts as:
_____________________________________________
FIRST | second | third | fourth | ==> |
_____________________________________________
Then, if the operator clicks on, e.g., "third", it becomes:
_____________________________________________
first | second | THIRD | fourth | ==> |
_____________________________________________
If the operator then clicks "==>", it becomes:
_____________________________________________
<== | THIRD | fourth | fifth | ==> |
_____________________________________________
Another click on "==>" changes it to:
_____________________________________________
<== | FOURTH | fifth | sixth | ==> |
_____________________________________________
Etc.
Of course, this is my UI preference, and the actual way to do this is
left as an exercise...
