I did manage to get it sort of working. Turns out that if you kill all xfce4-terminal windows (quite a chore for a heavy user...) and start it anew, tab switching does work. But only until a reboot/logout. If any xfce4-terminal windows are started by a saved session (XFCE's default is to save), no switching. Reproduced this in a clean install so it's not a matter of my config. Meow! -- u-boot problems can be solved with the help of your old SCSI manuals, the parts that deal with goat termination. You need a black-handled knife, and an appropriate set of candles (number and color matters). Or was it a silver-handled knife? Crap, need to look that up.

Bug#843392: perhaps a -gtk2 version for stretch would be a good idea?
There's no hope fixing keyboard switching for stretch, right? If so, I believe it'd be a good idea to reintroduce a GTK2 version until upstream fixes this -- either you or me could do it. The lack of such a basic functionality makes xfce4-terminal unfit for serious use -- many of us have 10+ tabs per monitor -- with more on other workspaces. Being able to switch conveniently is vital: that's why console has Alt-F1..F12[1], screen has Ctrl-a 1, irssi has Alt-1, etc. In theory, I could use mate-terminal which does this part right (on GTK3!) but then, mate-terminal sucks so in the past I used xfce4-terminal on Gnome 2. There's terminology that's crashy and also sucks. Etc... Meow!
