A built-in switch in it has been turned on, so the row of tab names can now receive keyboard focus. When it has focus:\n\n- It is shown in the \"suggestion\" colour by default.\n\n- Left, Right and Tab key presses are captured by the header.\n\n- Down moves focus into the tab's content.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can move between the tab row and the content below it with the keyboard. Left, Right and Tab may behave differently from before while the header has focus.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
